Adverts apart I never like that site. If someone posts a link I immediately search the property on Rightmove.ProDave said:Obviously_the_best said:

Fine on Chrome. Try disabling any pop up/ ad blockers.ProDave said:Obviously_the_best said:

Sorry when I said "advert" I meant I can't see property details, I don't give 2 hoots about any other advertising that may or may not be on the site. To me is just seems that Zooplas website is broken.
But sometimes blockers can interfere with other scripts on the webpage that deliver content.

Because that is a "brownfield" site and far better to use brownfield sites first, instead of destroying our countryside. Land is scarce and to accommodate the quantity of housing apparently required, developers have to build to a higher density. Decent size gardens in speculative suburban developments were at their peak from the 1930s to the1950s. Those days are long, long past.anotheruser said:

It could be a fantastic plot as it is for someone.
A bungalow near me has sold their garden and a company is building three houses in it. Access is stupidly tight, the houses look squashed in... almost like they wern't supposed to be there / obvious the developer is looking to cash in rather than produce quality homes.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales4 -

There is plenty of land, it's just that people are obsessed with the green belt.lincroft1710 said:

We should be building on it, there's far more than we need and most of it isn't particularly attractive or useful.0 -
I’m one of the people obsessed with the green belt. I’m sorry that I find it attractive.[Deleted User] said:

Me too. Not sure it is just people obsessed with it I think wildlife is quite fond too even the stuff not all that attractive to look at. Re the "brownfield" site. I'm not sure but wasn't it decided that gardens in built up areas were not to be considered brownfield, only those in rural setting.GDB2222 said:

There's too much of it, and we can build nice sustainable houses on small parts of it that don't disrupt nature too much.
Or we can just defend every inch of it and watch as houses get even less affordable.1 -
You might need a couple of bottles of bleach if you buy this one:
