Perhaps someone can prepare a form with the relevant information. I did not see much in the line of a convincing argument in this example - exactly what building regulations are being broken.
And there should be a relevant complaint/objection opportunity for residents not affected. Quite frankly if they think you can get 12000 for a tiny two bed room flat then that can only positively affect prices of house I would have thought - 800000 to 2 mil for a tiny flat? Won;t this just increase house prices in Obs As I said I would willingly join the fight and put in a complaint/objections but I need to have my hand held and just be able to sign the letter and email it in - I am sure you will get more interest this way Or just tell me what contraventions there are (if any) I don't believe you have any legal right to a view I am pretty sure that principal has been well established and if the property has rights for 9 storeys well.......and none of that negatively impacts on me Traffic however impacts on everyone - but thats not a contravention of a regulation is it? Guidance for the armchair objector please.
