Hi All, just looking for a bit of advice regarding a planning application for a new bungalow which has been submitted next where I live.
Basically at the end of our garden is a cul-de-sac with a bit of land approx 15m x 10m. The builder who built the houses on the cul-de-sac originally also applied to build a 2 bed bungalow on said piece of land. This was rejected, and has since been rejected a number of times.
The letter dropped through our door last week saying that he has applied again, and it's something that we will contest because of the following:
1) It will be built literally less than 10 feet from our garden.
2) It will genuinely block the light we get at the back of the house.
3) The builder has previously threatened some of our neighbours for contesting previous applications.
4) The area, in my opinion, is far too small to squeeze another house in.
What I'm looking to find out is the best way(s) of contesting this, and the main points to make to the planning office. One thing that stands out is that the guy has put on his application that there are no trees on the site, when there are actually more than 1/2 a dozen!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
