Mis sold property where do I stand?

I know what you mean Dave:( re the Greenfields, Green Pastures, etc post - because I've long since chosen THE road I want/give me half a chance will have and the houses there are priced at WAY:eek: over the odds for a very similar reason. I'm going to have to pay one heck of a premium to get that road if ever I come up on the Lottery - and I will do so if it comes to it (whilst gritting my teeth in fury at having to pay SO much more for my "safe position" - but its that overcrowded part of the country and "What can a gal do:cool:?"). I wouldn't mind if I was "one of the people creating the problem"....but....

Is not happy because I haven't contributed to the overcrowding (the reverse in fact)- so it aint fair to suffer from it - but :mad: "It is what it is" and life aint fair on that one - s*d it...

......It may well be that construction traffic uses a temporary route into the site off Chartmoor Road. This is something you could feed into the consultation.

That's something that detailed planning would consider.

I'd suggest that the OP request that there is planning condition that restricts construction traffic to the existing site entrance.

..... An extra 300 cars of new residents and trucks and lorries only coming in through one entrance is just ridiculous. ....

It does seem bit silly to have a housing development that has only one access point. What happens if there is a serious RTA at the access point? Is the entire estate going to be in lockdown until it's cleared?

Again, that's the kind of issue you bring to the attention of planning.

The name does not always reflect the reality. I know someone who called their inner-city terraced house in the Midlands 'Ocean Vista'.:rotfl:

:rotfl:well - my starter house wasn't in a "nice" location anyway - but I was thinking along very different lines as to whether to give it a name or no (it wasn't that sorta street iyswim). I was, however, severely tempted to put up a nameplate anyway and it would have been "Abouttimetoo":rotfl:. That being down to being in the Baby Boom (ie we bought our houses in our 20s) generation and I was in my 30s before I was able to get it. The other possibility would have been "Whatkeptyou?" or "Whyarewewaiting?"

Nearly 60 years ago my parents' first house was on a street at the edge of town which stopped at stone wall beyond which were allotments which stretched to a high hedge beyond that were fields. Fast forward to 20 years ago, houses had been built beyond the hedge then on the allotments, the street continued beyond what had been the allotment wall and the housing finishes about a mile from my parents' former house.

The only reason there has been no further building in the past 20 years is because they have reached the by-pass along which runs the district and county boundary.

Bedfordshire needs houses and as it is a small county as much brownfield land that can be used will be used, see Wixams and New Cardington plus greenfield infill up to new roads, i.e. Marston, Stotfold, Shefford, Barton and Bedford by-passes

Ok, that's great but how on earth is a first time buy with no experience of maps and building plans supposed to know that? We were TOLD it was a Cul-de-sac and on the map the road stops. Why would we think anything else??

Quite possibly because you are in the same category as many others - ie "Not helping to create the problem" - ie of extra housing being built to house all the extra people (insert details, if applicable, of size of family and #politically incorrect at present to quote it reason#). It takes age - and cynicism - to realise "You may not have done it - but that doesn't mean you won't suffer from others having done it - as you probably will".

If you're in that category that you know you haven't contributed to/wont be contributing to the "need for extra housing" - then it doesn't tend to occur to you that you will be expected to "budge up"/lose your views/etc/etc because of the number of extra people after housing.

Sad - but true. Everyone can suffer from this - even if its not their fault.

So

You can very clearly see for the j=CB/13/01356&index=501512"]layout plan[/URL] that Vesta Grove was built to go through to the new development. You can see that this is not a permanent cul-de-sac with houses across the end, as OP has led us to believe. OP you state they will be demolishing part of the Persimmon build to enable this road to go through - please explain what will require demolishing.

Edit - OP if you look at the cul-de-sacs to the east and west of Vesta Grove you can see that these were planned as cul-de-sacs, they are narrower than Vesta Grove and the design with buildings and parking spaces across the end do not allow for the road to be extended.

Are you drunk?

The OP is as responsible for the `extra housing` as anyone who moves in to the new estate next door when completed

Especially because they have moved into an estate that has been extending and growing for many years

It is at present a cul-de-sac and will remain a cul-de-sac until the actual road is extended. If you had said to any experienced housebuyer you were buying a house on an open ended cul-de-sac which led to green fields, most would have replied "How long before they build on them and you're on a through road"
