Design was changed twice: we live in a "block" (ribbon) of 6 houses all with very long gardens and the character of the area is just these 6 houses with long gardens .....
I'm fairly sure that in a couple of years this will probably go thru'
That was the only point we (my planning consultant and I) couldn't overcome, everything else was dealt with - highways for road access, services for access, garden sizes, turning circles, car parking, etc
As the kids have gone and we're in a 5 bed we need to downsize so, once again thanks
