Two buildings are set to be built
Furious residents say their lives have been ‘upended’ after work to build two new apartment blocks on land next to their homes got under way.
Their complaints include ‘stealth’ boundary changes, removing boundary walls and shrubbery - including wildlife habitat - and closing off a footpath for six weeks. “I don’t think we have been treated very well, we have not been consulted and our lives have been upended by this new build scheme,” says Jo, an IT consultant.
Jo says residents discovered from architect’s diagrams that Hilton Court’s boundary is due to shrink. “Isn’t there a basic check that the size of the development fits on the plot of land - not just how many properties go into the sky, but the width, as well? "This latest phase absolutely turns Hilton Court into a building site - this is a lived in residential scheme and should never have been part of the building site," she said.
