If the builder made plans to build you a house and then built you a boat, would you blame the council or the builder.

The builder didn't promise anything, they wrote it in a contract that we signed and that the council signed off.

They have drainage. Not sure on the type of Tarmac put down.

I have the engineering drawings that were submitted to the council when the plans were approved. I also have seen the plans in the sales office that show the block paving. I have also spoken to the Site Manager and Construction Manager and they said "We didn't know it should be block paving". I am speaking to the sales team today, emailed the Senior Planning Officer that has taken on the amendment and obviously had myself and everyone who is effected put in a breach of planning control.

Thank you for your replies. When we purchased the property we were shown the plans and the plans had block paved private driveways. These are the plans we signed. In the contract is doesn't mention drive ways at all.

The housing developer has forgot that each home private driveway should be block paved and not Tarmac. They have said they will look into sorting it, but I have seen they have put in a planning application under "non-material" change to keep the Tarmac for everyone's drive rather than the original plans to put down block paving. The drive way for the houses make up part of the property for each house so by selling the property as having block paving then not doing it is misleading. I have put in a breach of planning control and will speak to the planning office today, but what would be the best direction to take this? Would this be a material change rather than a non-material change? Thank you.
