Land Search failed to show up Traffic Order Proposal

[Lucky7even]

My partner bought his bungalow end of 2013.

 

Prior to the purchase a Private Search of Local Land Charges was made.

 

We have concerns about the search because we received a letter recently from Hampshire County Council saying that they are install double yellow lines outside the front of the bungalow.

 

This has been called a Traffic Order proposal.

 

We objected to this immediately, the Council wont install a disabled parking bay outside the front of the bungalow claiming its too close to the junction, we disagree.

 

They wont allow us to park the car in the garden again claiming its too close to the junction.

 

Again we disagree.

 

If we had known about this before purchasing we would have pulled out.

 

We are a blue badge holder, and we feel the council is beyond uncooperative.

 

We have contact the local mp to see if she can help but to also find out exactly when the traffic order was approved.

 

We understand its been in the pipeline for years.

 

Surely this should have been picked up on the searches?

 

Can anyone please give any advice, we are distress by this as we wont have anywhere to park.

What does parking in your garden have to do with the junction?

 

Aids can be installed if its a visability problem

Exactly my point.

 

Visability is not an issue either, but Council claim I cannot use the dropped kerb as its for pedestraian use only, its a double drop kerb.

 

I've been advised to get in touch with my local councillor, I've had an email from the mp's secretary and they are going to raise issues.

 

As its a double dropped kerb, its not an issue is it?

Unfortunately it all depends on what type of planning it was.. If it was an "Outline" plan, then it wont show up on a search.

 

I had a similar problem when we purchased the property I now live in. It was purchased because of the land views we that we had all the correct searches were done to see if there were any building plans for the other side of the lane. About 18 months after moving in, a builder starts to build properties across the way from us - when checking with the Planning department we discovered that he had been given outline planning to build one bungalow a year on that side of the road, but it is only recorded once the plans are actually accepted ! 5 years of disruption later and I look out onto 5 copycat box like bungalows with no land view !!

I've looked at the Council's website under road traffic schemes and its not showing up.

 

This is why its so confusing because as it a proposal it should be on there but it isn't

 

Hopefully the local mp might shed some light on this for me xx

Sadly, there is no "right to a view" (though there is "right to light).

Even if there hadn't had been planning permission when you purchased you might not have been able to prevent p.permission being granted.

 

The only way to preserve a view is to own the land your view is over (or have owned it once and sold it with a restrictive covenant protecting the view)

I do understand that, Bazza.. I think the point I was trying to make, similar to the OP's situation - had I been aware, I would not have purchased the property and looked for somewhere that might not have been so popular for a building site.

Absolutely ..... Though with the pressure on land these days, it seems (unless you can buy a massive plot & sell the rest with a restrictive covenant) that the only guarantee is to buy ... Adjacent to a cliff top

Assuming this included a CON29 form enquiry, this would only have shown waiting or loading restrictions that had been approved but not yet implemented. The key word here is 'approved.' It may well have been 'in the pipeline', in other words, a proposal. But councils propose plenty of things that never come to fruition ie approved

 

TBH, I doubt that approval of a DYL restriction would take nearly 2 years from approval to implementation.

 

In addition to your MP, I suggest you canvass support from your ward councillors to hopefully persuade the Council to change their mind.

 

The local rag would love a story headed 'Council trap disabled person in their own home'

Thats what I aim to do Michael. Make the Council's life very difficult, basically they are preventing a disabled person from parking!!!

 

As for the local MP, they are going to find out when this scheme was approved, and why this is happening when we have received no individual complaint.
