So just carrying on with what can happen to your home when Local Planning takes over your daily life… maybe for you also it was beyond belief what can occur before your eyes…So far they have destroyed the peaceful lives of many residents of Pebsham Lane Bexhill on Sea…They also destroyed ours,
One instance was when the dusty pitted Lane of ours…The badgers loved it and wandered along it every evening with there little paws and nails, but where silent…The Lane is to be Tarmac…
the street lighting was going to be real bright lights…
So this day along comes a gang of workers…shovels pick axes all the tools for digging into a solid clay area…The first Lamp post was on it’s way… No warnings no acknowledgement of such a massive change for us locals…
One dug a hole within the edge of our Driveway…Husband filled in hole… Was possibly on our Land…possibly as on the deeds there are lines with no real meaning of where our land starts and finishes for that matter…
Mr Heart the owner of the land opposite our driveway was woodlands…He had for many years tried to get planning permission to build houses on the woodland that he owned…
Well around 2011 ish he got permission for 5 properties one detached and four terraced houses…All to be on Stilts because it was classed as flood land…it had a natural stream that came down the lane and just before our property turned away into a small naturally made pond…to be continued…
It’s the same depressing story here too.Not only do they knock down the old houses but they flatten the garden too.Leaving an empty block of land devoid of all life.
Reminds me of the HS2 debacle, lots of lovely rural homes, slapped with a compulsory purchase order, only for years later, it was decided HS2 would not be extended that far, thus leaving those properties to become overgrown, uncared for squatters havens
You couldn’t make it up
not exactly in Bexhill Bruce more like the posh end being the next village along
Life can get chaotic in a neighborhood without the intervention of the local council, that’s a fact.
The Whole Area was changing…the houses opposite ours were now occupied…4 terraces…two now owned by the builders Son and Daughter…two Ladies that were a couple and really nice Gals they were. Posties as well so set out really early each morning. They bought a fab Hot Tub that they said come over in the mornings whilst we are slaving it at work…We loved it and soon bought our Own one.
Problem now was with the Grain Drying Sheds within the farm…now converted to a Office and a factory built… we are suddenly overlooked…We decided to build a Hot Top House for our Privacy whilst in the Tub…Windows with curtains, solid wooden door and a felt tiled covered Roof…I will find some Photos sometime soon of various areas of Pebbles…The lamp post saga was unplesant and Mr Heart was contacted when husband had to fill in the lamp post hole and the work men digging it out again…The place picked looked like it was on our land but most importantly we would never be able to get our Touring Caravan out from it’s storage place…
Police came to us in the Garden like the ‘‘Mob Has Arrived’’ stroppy cops…they threatened to arrest husband if he continued to act as he did…
The natural ponds to help ease the water flow to that area and yes it did have Badger Sets within it…
The next step was to not have a natural pond anymore but the Local Rother Council approved this and spent many thousand on a new all singing and dancing Watercourse…This is the first house that was built on the flood plan woodlands… a semi detached and at the side is a Public Path…the Thug that moved into the large Detached house was the ‘‘Boss’’ of Bramblea Close and he blocked off the Public Path as soon as he bought the house in 2009…He changed anything that suited him…he had a spare part of his garden next to the Water course and he dug into his grass a long pipe and joined it into the Water course and diverted the water back onto the Lane opposite our Pebbles Propert. So for me it started a War of the Water…He had buried a pipe that started at the water course and ended up on the road where he has buried another length of pipe so it went just where he decided it would go…I would dig that out as best I could and encourage the water to drain back a few metres above his placing so then when is rushed down the lane it would go straight into the Water course where it was intended to go…but oh no he changed it back everyt ime…He had not moved in for more that a few months and set up a chainsaw business on the outside part of his garden grass area. This land was about Centrally placed in the Close so the other four properties could benefit from having No peace at all…People moved on when they could…Just to get away from this obnoxious person.
that is various local people making comments about the bypass and the amount of houses to be built plus new roads around where we lived in Pebsham Lane…
