Thanks everyone for the supportive words. It's appreciated.
We live on a corner of a road and our next door neighbour has the corner plot which comes with a substantial garden, hence the developer interest. However, there is a culverted river running across the back of the garden which complicates any planning application and access is also problematic, as it is only 2 metres wide, which effectively prevents vehicular access as it's not wide enough for emergency vehicles to get in. Most sensible developers understand the limitations of the site and steer clear, but there seems to be a select few who think they can make it work. The council keep rejecting applications but we keep getting chancers who try.
We thought this one had gone away but he put in a second application just over a month ago, which will likely be rejected but in the meantime our buyers have been frightened off.
