So we are currently looking at buying a property, and have found one that we like, however after some intensive googling I have discovered that the area behind the house has been put forward as a potential site for new housing via a Community Land Trust.
Its difficult to work out what would actually be built as it is still in the stage of trying to acquire the land from the council so is nowhere near planning at this point.
My question is what sort of detrimental effect would it have for this land to be built on over the fact that it is currently half knackered garages and half wasteland with a fair bit of fly-tipping?
The below pic shows the plot of the house we are looking at in red, and the wasteland in purple - one added factor is that the house we are looking at is down a steep bank, so there are only velux windows on that side of the property and lots of big trees in behind the plot.
Am I crazy to still be interested?!
