We objected , but to no avail -- and the houses are being built on Haygate fields ! I shall always miss the lovely view of the country side but I must admit the houses on the front facing the road are beautiful , four and five bedroom homes , two already with sold signs on them ! I suppose this is progress and we will have to live with the changes !
It's hard to lose a lovely view. From your shot, the new homes look well built. Where I live, the area has been overdeveloped and to be frank has no esthetic appeal.
It must be a huge change, Beryl, to have this view. Here, new houses are springing up everywhere. The result, among others, is a 6 week wait to see the GP!
@quietpurplehaze - Hazel , medical and education resources are stretched to the limit aren't they - In our Health centre you have to wait at least 30 mins before they answer the phone and to get an appointment we have gone back to the old system of cuing out side the building till they open at 8,15 am !! ( if you are fit enough to do so !! )
This photo brings it home to you the change that long time residents face. Your view us completely different Beryl, quite a shock to see it! They do look lovely houses but pretty much identical to the many being built in our village. All £300,000 plus homes, I have no idea who is moving into them they need a massive deposit. No good for young ones who are the ones that need the houses. A token affordable ones & I suppose they are hoping people will move up the ladder & vacate the more affordable homes. Our schools are all chock a block & no parking space to shop in the village & of course ages to wait for a doctor appointment. They should think of the infra structure at the same time they build!
To be honest they say we need more houses but lots for sale round here, I haven't heard anybody say there are no houses available. A building firms bonanza & council money tree!
Great view and capture of you neighbourhood.
( I guest the increase of people , and therefore the building of new houses, is in nearly every country in western Europe happen.)
Sorry you have lost your rural view we lost our view of fields 30 years ago and now even more houses and blocks of flats are going up beyond that and in Peterborough office blocks are being converted into flats everywhere.
That is really awful Beryl. What will happen in the future is terrible to consider
