Not vast development here thankfully but what was once a small village has become bigger in the last 20 yrs, some houses being built

 

I am amazed at the amount of song birds we get here now, 5 yrs ago you heard hardly any, i assume there back due to the fact houses change hands less & people dont rip up established gardens like they seem to do when they move to a new bigger property , its one reason my parents have never moved as it would break my mothers heart to know someone had ripped out everything in the garden she has spent the last 45 yrs tending

you hit the nail on the head there

well got to get the wellies and tweed on and start stommping lol

[Guest hyperion]

the people who own the field behind our street are always trying to get houses built on it!, 250 to 400 was the last plan but we all fight it every time!, the newest idea is that they want to turn it into a playing field/football pitch/ cricket ground, like as not as soon as its gone from a greenfield site to brown field they will push planning through if they can!

 

also the forestry commision are talking about ripping out the woodland at the top of our road, less then a hundred yards away from us, and extracting millions of tonnes of sand and gravel but its ok because they will land scape it after they have finnished in 2030! but were fighting that idea too!

 

cheers

Not a lot wrong with houses for local folk, just a fact of life that they will need them.........its the incomers that will feck up your community IMHO

Where is that Assasin8or?

I'm originally from the Beds/Herts border, Batford?

Some cracking countryside around there.

 

Good luck,

Its f*****g ridiculouse No More GREENBELT LAND should be built on, there are thousands up on thousands of properties lay idle that could be refurbished giving work to tradesmen the same as newbuilds would but without the castrofic impact on nature newbuilds cause. If they must build new pull down slums and derelict housing that every town and city have and build there. Enough is enough but the fraudulent , schemeing, money grabbing politicians elected by US will do as they please per USUAL to feather their own nests as USUAL. WANKERS.

 

Totally agree with that post mate,W.....rs the lot of them.

 

There's some farm land near me,weve hunted on it for years,belongs to a local estate but they dont shoot that part and let the local lads mooch about on it more or less,

Developers have got plans to build on all of it,houses a school and it will all dissapear,to be honest it will break my heart to see it happen,loads of good memories hunting there even though its not crammed with game,at the moment its got shelved but its only a matter of time,a local protest group has been organised and have held demo's,we talked about joining the group but some members are anti's and keep reporting us to the local wildlife officer for walking across their "common" it belongs to everybody and their houses are built on land we have hunted for over 30 yrs[maybe we should have obdjected to that?].

When you think about it the indiginous people of this country are not having as many kids,and our numbers are falling so who the feck is causing a housing shortage?

I can think of a very good solution it would make plenty of room and save a fekin fortune in state benefit and take pressure of education and health care.

Yours digger,very very pissed off.

Rip the fields up, smash the woodlands down, build houses, flats, bugalows, build for local people, build council houses. We need alot more housing in this country so why not (at the expense of a few woodlands and fields)? Because a few people are worried because there going to loose their views, or because their villiage wont look so pretty. I would love to see large modern housing estates built, enviroment friendly houses for councils.

Im willing to bet that you woulndnt be bothered if these houses were being built somewhere else. this country needs houses.Its a simple fact. i come from a mining village in the north. this village was derelict within 5 years of the pits closing. thankfully with new builds and such like we are just getting back on our feet. new people, new jobs ,new community. Officially we are in a state of reccesion. New housing estates bring much needed jobs and money into the existing community. Or is it just that your community is already financially secure. then if that is the case all i can see is a case of Haves, and have nots. atb stabba.

Same here i lost two farm to shoot on sold to build house's 1000's of them now the credit crunch is here there making them water tight and leaving them

Stabba,

I live in the same area and im a builder myself,like you say our area has been hit hard but there's loads of brown site to build on and whole areas in my town need knocking down and re-building before we start on the green belt land,its just greed in some cases mate pure and simple.atb steve.

[stabba 10,745]

The only reason i replied mate was because it sounded very much like a "Not in my back yard" sort of topic. Kike i said, the man wouldnt be bothered if this site was moved 20 miles up the road. atb stabba.

[Guest gyppo]

we have to build somewere,and i dont think it should be in towns like they say,we should designate green belt to a point and around luton is ok for me as housing is needed there for all the eastern europiens and blacks that love that part of the country sorry should of said coloured
