Redrow twice tried to grab some of the front garden from our new home

Last January we purchased a semi-detached new-build. Last month the developer, Redrow, twice tried to applicable half of our front garden to widen the communal drive. It did this with none prior discover or rationalization and solely stopped once we threatened to name the police. We grew to become prisoners in our personal home as we awaited written affirmation that it wouldn’t make a 3rd try. Redrow now provides insult to harm by suggesting its communication on the matter might have been “clearer”.

Not solely does this suggest that some prior communication was tried, however that, as we’re in our 70s, we’re too senile to perceive plain English. An apology could be sufficient. It’s their makes an attempt to deny the plain which might be so enraging.

Your map exhibits that the developer tried to shear off a flower mattress bordering your front garden. It says: “We have apologised after one of our third-party workers incorrectly sought to alter a half-metre patch of land to assist with his neighbour’s driveway access. Works were not commenced and no land taken or altered.” This is at odds with the rationalization given to you. And the reality the works had been stopped since you prevented them. Moreover, you say you could have by no means obtained any apology. Your garden continues to be intact; it’s Redrow’s status which has been despoiled by this shabby case.
