Reply to: Flouting Planning Legislation

Drat! Just as I was narrowing this guys address down to the exact house, he had to go and get banned, yet again!

I wonder if mods should be quite so hasty to ban him each time he pops up, because some of his incarnations can be quite entertaining for a short while, although maybe not in the way he intends!

If it were EU legislation we'd follow it to the letter and complain endlessly.

And my house is most definitely not local authority. Ex or otherwise....

Taking all the details at face value, that narrows it down even more!

I'm genuinely puzzled how you know, or seem to think you know, that the house I referenced is or was local authority, although I can see it is semi-detached and does look a bit titchy.

Seems like Castle Cary Fairy has provided almost or even entirely enough info to pinpoint his location!

Houses facing onto the A303 in the region of Podamore Services are pretty few and far between, even more so those with a sloping front garden given how flat much of Somerset is!

So a quick scoot down the A303 in that area with Google Street View might locate it.

Could this be his neighbour's place? There's a bizarre looking concrete post rather than a laburnum tree, but one must allow for poetic licence, especially given CCF's florid, expansive (some might say pompous) writing style

Nah. Our nearest services is Podimore.

Hmmmm….inneresting….

If all goes according to plan, I'll be spending Saturday evening round the back of Podimore Services "entertaining" the 2 wenches who serve in the Wild Bean Cafe

I once had a chick beam end up on the bonnet of my Land Rover in the car park of Podimore services.

Bet she had a very nice triangle too. From Chard as well - shame I never got to try on her beard down Podimore Services

Nah. Our nearest services is Podimore.

Just as long as they do not know where you live thats fine then.

Unless they are waiting with claw hammers at Bridgwater Services.

If you ever get fed up with living a stone's throw from the A303, with Eddie Stobart lorries thundering past your house every few seconds, and you want to sell then the last thing you need is a dispute with your neighbours.

Just call the council planning department. No need to get involved.

… I feel I can't simply ignore the fact that a transgression of planning law has taken place and let it go unreported; I consider myself a good citizen after all. ..

There's actually a very interesting BBC4 documentary about the A303!

Actually marginally more interesting that your posts.

There seems to be a number of other posters with a fixation on the A303 as well. Inneresting list.
