Just in case I didn't already have enough going on right now, the local council's plans for our neighbourhood were unveiled today... actually two alternative plans. The first shows a little bit of rejigging and regeneration, the second shows an apartment complex and a tree-lined square in the space currently occupied by my home. %$!&!!

This is supposedly to benefit the community after the impact of the flooding, but after waiting 16 months in temporary accommodation to move back into this place, the last thing I want is to be forced to sell it and see it demolished. Unfortunately, the two schemes look to be tactically designed so that the only people who will want the first scheme are the immediate residents, I have a nasty feeling that almost everyone else will be campaigning for the second.

I'll find out more over the next week or two, there are a few community meetings and public forums I'll need to go to. In the meantime, does anyone happen to be a UK land & property law expert(?!)...
