(05 Oct 2016, 5:20 pm)Adrian New access road to go in or something? How many are they looking to build?
I'm not sure what they mean by "prestigious" housing, but I won't hold my breath about it tackling the issue of lack of affordable housing... 
Demolishing an end terrace to widen an existing road. The owner had some pretty dire tenants in that terrace for a couple of years, but this is a bit of a two fingers up, really.
And I did ask which of the 4 and 5 bedroom homes were going to be the affordable housing in the development - only 13 houses, but there's a road on the plans which is clearly intended to lead to more. The original outline in the county Durham plan had a completely different site for the access road on already cleared land. And 90 houses. Did I mention the bit about having to wait 2 weeks for a GP appointment and the local primary now having a bulge class? Or the fact that out of the 15 luxury homes recently built at the end of our street, while they've vastly improved the appearance of the entrance to the village from the derelict site with occasional campers and their associated mess, there's usually at least 3 up for sale - at less than they were originally marketed for.
