No luck, so he just expanded, as did the people from the other way.:)
Not that I minded, the fences stop any possibility, apart from a JCB, of people taking a short cut, climbing on my garage roof, general mischief making or dumping things nearby. Wins all round
It was beans & eggs on toast for lunch, I'll be heating the soup up for dinner shortly
The fact it's not owned by anyone meaning no problems with utility companies getting at any of their services they need to.
One is right against the boundary, just a few inches wide and the other bizarre one is "the spot outside the front door of number 7"...
So, just some daft errors they made in submitting plans.
Not my place, not my business - I'm selling ... the problem is that for land to be owned, everybody needs to understand who owns what and restrictions... and they don't. Especially renters...
Here there is a terrace of three that have an access path down the back just big enough for their wheely bins, it's just a 1m wide 2-slab wide footpath to their back gardens. As each house is 12' wide and it goes to the 3rd one, it's only about 24' long.
Nimbus showed me which house owns it, which is "interesting" to me... but the occupants are renters so won't even think about who owns the path ... even if/when they're irritated by 12 kids hurtling up and down it on skates and screaming and shouting at each other.... they're sitting indoors thinking "bl00dy noisy kids, wish I could stop them doing that" .... and it's their land and they've no idea.
Knowledge is power isn't it. Such a smug feeling to know something and know you're right
I don't really actually have to use any of my front garden for my visitors to park in in the event then (now I know the land concerned isn't theirs) - which gives me a good bit more leeway on how I'm going to have it when I can afford to sort it out better.
Although, if it's Council, there's the SLIM chance they rent it under licence
I've run out of things to look at on the site now... done every house/address I could think of... that I've ever lived in, or siblings lived in, or parents ... and anybody else I could think of.
I did notice though it's handy to see the mix of private/council across an estate as all the council ones are obvious... of course that doesn't mean the private ones are owner occupied ... but I'd rather not buy unknowingly into the sole house in an estate of 1000 houses and be the ONLY owner occupier
I'd not heard of "renting under licence" in that context - what exactly would that mean?
Though - yes...indeed even if it were possible they wouldnt do that. With their attitude to money and they are certainly in the "Who is going to know/care what anyone gets up to over in the Back of Beyond school of thought?" I can't see that as at all likely...
They're more in the "If I carry on as if I can/insist I can - then people will believe I really can or be too weak to stand up to me" school of thought.
I'm not popular with them because of my "normal"/law-abiding/"how are things done across the whole country?" way of thinking.....:rotfl:
EDIT; I just did type in "the" most notorious Council House street back there - and a quick glance of the number of properties with a red line around them and it's about 50% (here it's more like 5%). Back for in-depth look....
Thanks Wort
I enjoy a port as well GP, I found a bottle in the spare room when I was tidying I was given last Christmas
Lunch out today at friends, it may be my sister birthday but I seem to be benefiting
The diet starts again tomorrow
I must remember to do my meter readings when I get home later... I meant to do them over the weekend... I hope it's not to late to submit them.
Dinner tonight will be the pizza I didn't eat last night... Yesterday evening I ended up eating nearly 3/4 of a chocolate brownie pudding thing that's meant to serve 5, according to the packaging... That was glutton-ish, even by my standards!!

A different set-up there then - as the land was originally owned/still owned by the Council.
In this case - the land used to be owned by the neighbouring house concerned. But then the Council got it - one way or another.
Hence the neighbours treating the land as if it's theirs - when it no longer is.
Looks like I'm still fine for parking any of my visitors there that I wish to.
