I have come home from work today to see that my neighbours in the surrounding area, have decided to improve the look of their garden. However I was very upset that there was no consultant or just polite notice given, that this work was going to be carried out. I know to many that this is not the end of the world. But we no longer have a piece of Whaley bridge History ( a old mill entrance and doors) to look at, we have a brick wall instead.

Hi Ros,
If you let me know where this has happened, I can look into it and check if the correct planning process was used (assuming it was required). Either contact me via the forum, or phone me. My number is on the Council website.
Cheers

It's not directly related to the start of this topic but is on a similar vein....does anyone know what the rules are regarding the garden edges on the Meadowfield estate? I have been told by some that borders cannot be more than 3 feet high and that drives cannot be gated but recently I notice that someone on the main route through the estate has gates.
Also if someone has hedges/borders over 3 feet what action would be taken? I'm just interested if anyone could please let me know  Edited by user 31 May 2009 07:26:41(UTC)

I don't think there's any rule about borders not being allowed to be more than 3 foot high. Sometimes when a development is being built then the builders often put the stipulation in the house deeds that caravans must not be stored on driveways, front borders should be low, no front gates etc In my old house ( not in Whaley) we had such stipulations, but no-one actually seem to be able to enforce such regulations once the builders had sold all the houses and moved on.
I think I know the house you're referring to - always looks very smart and well kept and doesn't appear to cause problems for anyone else.

Thanks for that - I think the gates look great but a few people have been grumbling!! Interesting point about the caravan no being kept on the drive as there are plenty of them around the estate. Edited by user 31 May 2009 14:05:58(UTC)

Yes caravans on driveways and motor homes parked on the streets does seem to be a common option - but I don't think there's much any of us can do about it. If there is a stipulation on a house deed, it really is put there by the developer to protect his development. People might not want to move onto a development with caravans and 6 foot high hedges in the front of their houses. However once the developer has sold the houses, then he's not interested and wouldn't ususally enforce any violations. However I am going on what was told to me when I lived in Cheshire - it might be worth checking with HPBC to check to see if things are different here.
