Landlord is redeveloping

Annieuk75

My husband is visually impaired and we live in specialised housing with our 2 children. On site are a number of very small 1 bed flats, and we live in a 2 bed bungalow with garden.

The landlord has just revealed that they are redeveloping the site and rebuilding larger 1 bed flats. There has been no mention of our property. When pushed they have said they may provide a 2 bed flat. The new 1 bed flats are going to be a lot larger, and everyone will greatly benefit. For us however, we will be losing a lot.

We have also just been approved for a DFG to extend the bungalow, but obviously that won't be happening now.

We have been to the council, but they have said there is not much that they can do.

We are really not sure what we should do or where to turn to next?

Who is your landlord ?
Have they got Planning Permission to redevelop the whole site ?
can you see the plans and is your bunglow MISSING from the plans with say 16 flats built instead.
Is it a social landlord ( council, housing trust etc? )
Have you been served notice S21 or given an idea or rehousing ?
You may benefit as the Landlord may build a 3 bedroom flat for you and your family with all mod cons !
Try and find out more info from the council planning department or your LL Good Luck

Thanks dimbo. The landlord is a large charity. The Bungalow will not be put on the plans, the architects have only been told to design flats.

Not been given any notice yet as it is still in the early stages.

Thanks x
