Bicyclegear Posted April 14, 2021 Share Have you contacted the roads or town planning department to ask them RE the works? That area should fall under Southern District, relevant details attached and hopefully they can assist you.I might go up there and ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 14, 2021 Share I might go up there and ask...The planning offices are closed to the public thanks to Covid, you would have to call or send an email to the addy on the contacts list. Staff are working from home, with the land lines directed to their cell or land lines.....personally I have found that when you make contact with the council staff whilst they are working from home, they are far more approachable and willing to assist vs when they are sitting in office.

Hairy Posted April 14, 2021 Share I meant going up to the site office of the developer.Ah ... that is a completely different subject all together .... but do make the call to council first as the developer may just have approval for the works.

Alouette3 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Another approach would be to get the local Sentinel Newspaper on to the story, that will get the local public all worked up like they do best in the Republic Bicyclegear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieV Posted April 14, 2021 Share detailed! Where does one start? I once owned a property where the deed specified servitude (albeit it was for underground infrastructure etc.) ... but the property deed might thus have something in it Edited April 14, 2021 by EddieV Grumpyoldgit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
