Hi folks! New to the forum! A section of my property is apparently 'residential amenity'. Its immediately adjacent to my driveway and roughly 1.5 car spaces in size. I had applied for planning permission to extend the driveway as it was largely pointless space, but my neighbours complained. The planning request ultimately got rejected. The council describes the land as 'significant green space for the community'. Ridiculous. I'm now stuck with a plot of dirt with a few weeds and plants on it. Apparently I can't even landscape with decorative chippings. Am unexpected to just maintain the land? Can I let it just grow wild as a big f-you to the council? Thanks!
