Well, let's not go too far or we risk upsetting people.

I think we should be realistic that now that the house has had to come down, something will have to replace it and will end up being a multi-occupancy property.

What we should be entitled to insist upon is that the new building is "in keeping" with the surroundings just as it would have had to be if they had applied for planning application to demolish and rebuild whilst the building was still standing.

We should also insist that, based on past problems and neighbour complaints, that this building is monitored closely to ensure it is not unduly noisy, dirty or inconveniences the rest of us.

Snazy - What was your issue with the person proposing the application? And can anyone comment on the issue of using another building site as a registered address?
