I'm sure there was a similar story in China of someone doing the same but he ended up being stuck in the middle of motorway....

He wants the same house he's lived in since he was born.

Sounds similar to Stott Hall Farm, tucked below two divergent sides of the M62 in the wilds of the Pennines. Like most people probably, I assumed it was an obstinate farmer who had refused to budge. But apparently in that case the reason was more mundane, and related to a patch of dodgy geology:

Thatcher's right to buy was electoral love music.

There was a film about it.

Up.

His house price must have gone up by now. I don't see why he can't negotiate with them. He'll sell so they can build either side but they build him a brand new one on his plot for nothing. They get the land, he gets a new house and everyone is happy

That's the British Union flag, not the English flag.

Not only that he's hanging them correctly.

[TwoWolves]

Have to be a big discount having a racist living opposite. I mean, he must be racist mustn't he? He's got England flags flying outside. Only racists do that don't they?

I presume those buying houses with a view of his house were able to negotiate a nice discount...

The metro want to push this man as being an idiot. Makes people on trains with tulip jobs laugh.

Story is also in the fail...

I dread to think what the quality of those new builds is like if they went from waste ground to occupied in under a year.

[SueEllen]

..out of my house so you have to build your estate around me.


Oh and thanks for the new drive!

A man who refused to let his childhood home be demolished returned from hospital to find developers had built a new estate around him.
Charlie Wright, 70, had for years refused to sell his four bedroom property in the Wirral, despite all his neighbours selling up and moving out.

The area became an open wasteland as all the other houses were flattened and an isolated Charlie was attacked and hit with a hammer in his own home.

After a prolonged hospital stay, he got back to discover he’d acquired 178 new neighbours as the new homes had been built anyway.
