A man has been ordered to pay an “excessive” £97,000 compensation by the council to build a dream home on greenspace among woodland.
Matt Bridgestock is fighting to pay £21,000 instead over the loss of greenspace after getting the go-ahead to construct a four-bedroom two storey house with a balcony on derelict land.
A statement lodged on behalf of Mr Bridgestock said: “Self-build mortgage providers have confirmed that no lender will loan against a Section 75, therefore this creates a significant cash flow issue.”A statement submitted as part of the appeal on behalf of Mr Bridgestock argued “that no other application within the last five years has paid a Section 75 contribution of more than £3,400 per dwelling.
The statement said 2,346 square metres of woodland would be protected as a tree preservation order covers it. The land, which has had no public access for years, would remain private. It added: “Public access to the site would be removed or restricted owing to the residential nature of the site.”
