| Over the consultations there have been many people wishing to build extra properties on what they deem to be excess gardens or land - the main reason offered was that they are getting older and can no longer manage the upkeep of their gardens - this is one way of looking at it - however I do feel that in a lot of cases the real reason is financial gain and I would have more sympathy if people were more upfront about this - squeezing an extra 2 houses into your land is about money by maximising the return , if not, then build just 1 with a reasonable garden ( which new people to the village would be delighted to own) - or if it isn't about money where is the offer of a sizeable donation to the upkeep of the village etc? Honesty goes a long way in most peoples minds and they know when they are being fed a line.... See: Q190 for a response from the land owners at NDP-S017. |
