Want to build a new house in my back garden

[IMM]

Which is bolock!! Any citizen of the UK has the right to live "anywhere" in the UK. This is shear discrimination. If they looked at the root cause you would find that there is a shortage of homes. Why? because you have endless subsidised fields that they will not allow anyone to build on. It is that simple. Allow people to build and the problems sorts itself out. The infrastructure and services should follow, if they don't, kick up about it.

What you need is the planning system revamped to allow land to be built on, to accommodate the needs of the people, not large landowners.

He will add to the housing stock that is clear. And houses with ultra low impact too. All to be commended.

Bumpkin prejudice and ignorance. Jealous because you are skint?

It is bad thing. There should be more building to accommodate the demand. Let private enterprise do it and the gap will be filed in no time at all. First give them the land to do it.

1/4 acre per house is a good sized plot.

They also pour money into your poor economy too. Give them the land and they will improve matters for all.

Do you vote Communist too?

You are mad. A house has been added to the much needed housing stock.

An eco house is well, er, er, a eco house.

It appears you can't see further than your small village.

The spec was not high. It was a superinsulated house (a normal house with high insulation levels) and a solar roof, and a large water store. Not rocket science.

Don't muck about with news groups. Why don't you go for direct action?

It seems that limitations on development exist elsewhere as well...

F*cking moron.

I am neither wealthy nor skint. You assume too much.

You are a member of the boo / hoorah clan - boo what you dont agree with, hurraah that you do. You have yet to actually adress any issue raised and as such I suspect you are prejudiced and ignorant and see no point in continuing to try and place the facts as they occur before you.

Agatha Christies Miss marple was accused of the same thing but she had a razor sharp mind and always solved the murder. So thats no mean acheievement either. The village is a microcosm of the global one.

[Andy Hall]

It is indeed.

I'm reminded of some of the famous judgments by Lord Denning, former Master of the Rolls. He would apply the common-sense principles of village life in his native Whitchurch to quite complex legal matters and achieve a fair outcome.

Most people do that.

You obviously can't read.

What facts are you on about?

You do not have the ability to perform simple root cause analysis. You are negative, wanting to stop people form being constructive in an area we are desperately short. In short an idiot.

This was a made up eprson. Duh!

[IMM]

What has this tripe to do with the topic?

[Andy Hall]

Read the article. He also went for homes of city board members responsible for zoning

I rather thought that it would go over your head. The point being made is that the structure and essence of the village is the template for the larger issues.

In article , Mike Mitchell writes

If this is speaking from personal experience it sound like you have gone at this like a bull in a china shop, planning procedures can be manipulated by anyone you just have to understand them. It also sounds like you're a bit out of touch, most planning applications go through despite the wishes of the local community especially that we now have ppg3. If what you're referring to is development outside of permitted boundaries then that is more than a LPO will have sole responsibility over anyway, whilst on the matter its worth also mentioning the large land banks that developers have, its the developers that decide as and when these are built on and developers are only interested in one thing, and its not the greater good

[Mike Mitchell]

All that kind of stuff is specialist work that doesn't come cheap. This is not Barrat the Builders we're talking about here. I reckon you might get it erected for a bit cheaper, say £495K.

That old nazi? The man wasn't right in the head and hadn't been for years. He was a disgrace to the office he held.

[Andy Hall]

What a ridiculous remark. He was one of the most eminent judges of the 20th century and brought to English law an ability to see past the precedent and to focus on the law being a means to an end and not an end in itself. In other words, not allowing legal technicality to obscure the interests of justice.

Even the idiot Blair held Denning in high esteem during his years as a barrister.

Well said ! If only we had some of his common sense judgements nowadays rather than some of the eye-openers that occur far too regularly.

[John Smith]

Where does oil and gas come from? If you know the answer then you will also know the it is not finite.

[Andy Hall]

I found some extracts from some of them:

Miller vs. Jackson case is very pertinent to this thread and Denning sums up the point very eloquently.

"In summer time village cricket is the delight of everyone" was how Lord Denning MR famously began his judgment in Miller v Jackson [1977]

1 QB 966, 976. An injunction had been granted to local householders who complained of cricket balls landing in their gardens. Lord Denning feared that, if it were upheld, cricket would cease in the village and "the young men will turn to other things"

He held that the public interest in the playing of cricket should prevail over the individual interests of the householders, and, instead of the injunction, awarded £400 for past and future inconvenience.

I don't know what the outcome of the "Hook the street trader" case was, but the introduction to the judgment is hilarious.
