This view is the reason our house is called Copp View. You can see the small settlement on the hill in the distance!
Sadly & to the fury of the village these fields will shorty be filled with 350 houses, a medical centre, convenience store & some small industrial units.
We already have so much new housing here,,,they must have doubled the size of the village.
They have been in there already as you can see!
The fields were owned by the local Agricultural Society so even worse! If anyone should be saving good agriculture land is it’s the local farmers!
Harry is disgusted & told one of them his thoughts…his reply was they had bought eight acres next to the show field….no comparison!
We will be able to see the houses at the bottom of our garden but only the roofs we think as the ground drops away.
If ever there was a time we need more food grown we are finding out now!
Three good things:
1. The weather is improving just in time for the celebrations. Not a cloud in the sky tonight!
2. What’s App chat with brother & sister…the other one doesn’t do tech stuff!
3. Refunds!
Ooh Pat , I can empathise with you , as you may remember my beautiful rural view I had from my bedroom is now a huge housing estate - very nice houses , but that is not the point !
Oh a sign of the times world over it seems.. happening here .. Our district is the vege basket of the NI potatoes,onions, cabbage ,cauli, lettuce etc and now houses are covering those productive paddocks.. sad..
@beryl I often think of you & your housing estate Beryl….they are built now then…that was quick! They aren’t cheap houses either although some affordable ones by law….big deposits needed!
Nice view - at the moment. As someone says, houses are needed, but I struggle to see how even the so-called affordable ones are really all that affordable....
Oh what a shame! Apparently there is a desperate shortage of houses. We seem to be getting large villages now with little or no amenities or infrastructure!
What a fabulous view.
It's so sad when dense new housing is built on prime land.
Same up this way!! The newest ones along the road from us are called 'the ghetto' by our farmer friend!!!
