Was hoping for some advise on proposed plans for new building plot for 16 homes on field adjacent to 1970s cul-de-sac where I live. The field as been left for many many years as was considered green belt. And since 80s multiple development plans have been rejected by council because of this along with residents objections. However under new housing initiatives by government the land use has changed and to meet building quotas the council have now bought the land and submitted plans to build. Permission has not been sought but we have been made aware of what the initial plans will be. The issue I have is the right to access will be from our close from a busy main road. And from our small close two access roads will be made to the new development. Parking is already at times a problem looking at plans two parking spaces at top of cul de sac will be lost as well as at least three spaces on the road making room for new access points. We all have garages and there are some other parking bays but not enough for all residents and their cars / vans. The turning on to the close is a blind corner and we have had some near misses with traffic flow and over used street parking as it is. The hedge row / boundary between our estate and the next will be made good but multiple trees (no protection) will be lost. I am looking for advice on successfully opposing the council for their own building work, we would look at loss of amenities. I am also wanting to propose that the new estate has its own entrance on main road. All the multiple plans that have been put through over the years have always been access through our close. Can anyone help?  

You need to start your own thread. 

Ideally with paragraphs.

This would be better as a separate thread.
Even if the Council own the land, the planning application process will still need to be followed.  That will be your opportunity to comment on the proposals.
