Garden Law Discussion

Yes Pilman helped me purchase a small strip of land of a neighbour and it has all worked. I now have a deed from the LR certifying that I am now the owner of this little strip which is marvelous :) I have built a patio on the land I purchased and have transformed my garden. I cannot thank him enough...

"He has offered the equivalent of 0.6% of the value of my property, when I bought it 2 years ago..."

Have you thought about what you would accept?

Did we ever find out what happened in the end to JD007?

The planners will not throw out eight identical applications because they are afraid that developers will appeal. How can this be true? You surely cannot bludgeon a council with applications and win by attrition? This would make a mockery of the whole planning process. Does anyone else not agree he...

Not sure if this has been asked in a previous posting on this thread. But have you not considered going to the local press with this? Am sure getting some extra attention on this and highlighting the councils inaction would not apply more pressure? If you have a bunch of photos that would help show ...

Awesome news!
So will they make the “developer” fill in the hole that’s been dug?

They made a mistake.
You spotted the mistake.
They immediately fixed the mistake.
You have suffered no loss.
Why do you think you are entitled to compensation?
