Overview

• Housing Plus Group issued May 21 notices demanding six households clear alleged land encroachments to make way for 19 affordable homes behind Percy Thrower Avenue.
• Residents represented by Lanyon Bowdler solicitors argue that boundary fences in place for two decades define their gardens and have lodged an appeal to suspend any clearance.
• The developer has paused enforcement of eviction notices while the legal dispute proceeds and has committed to working toward an amicable resolution with all parties.
• Homeowner Alex Titley faces losing 2.5 meters of garden, including two trees and a shed, and says the space provides crucial respite during her daughter’s health challenges.
• Neighbours say they support the affordable housing scheme but insist on direct talks with Housing Plus Group to clarify property lines and protect their green spaces.
