Hi all, Hope I am in the right place.
We live on what used to be a working farm, now a working livery yard. We are 4 houses.
To access our properties, we have a single track road, which going from the properties is about quarter mile long, veering off to the right, crossing over a main road by a small bridge, then a dogs hind leg of a single track for about half a mile to the nearest main road.
The Council granted permission for a factory on the last remaining top fields halfway up the first part of the single track. We opposed and lost, surprise, surprise. Anyway, they have now given retrospective permission for another factory on the last remaining field, access to this field is over our track.
We have opposed this as they wanted to put a massive 5 arm roundabout on single track so they could access factory to factory. We have told them, no way, they cannot do anything to our legal private right of way, without our permission, which we have not granted. This is now with their City Solicitor and nothing has happened for two years.
They are now trying to do the same with on our continuation of private right of way, over the bridge. Having granted persmission for yet more factories etc giving no thought to our rights.
We have again opposed this and told them they have no legal right to , move, alter or add to our Private Legal Right of Way.
To be honest, we are sick to death of the Councils bully boy tactics and total disregard for the residents of our area.
We have been told, they can do nothing without are permission and the right of way is classed as a "Ransom Strip"
Can anyone please shed any light of how to fight the Council and explain what this "Ransom Strip" is all about please.
Many thanks for any replies and apologies for the long post :confused2:
