The temporary injunction is expected to be extended until a hearing can be arranged to resolve the matter. Residents have set up a fighting fund and are digging in for the duration. Nigel Spicer, of Winchester solicitors, Warner and Richardson, is representing residents. He foresees a long wait. I would think you are looking at six to nine months and possibly longer and feel confident that my clients' position will ultimately be vindicated.
Residents are also at war over further plans to build a flat with a triple garage below.
They successfully objected to the scheme, which went to an appeal. It was during the planning inspector's site visit that the clampers arrived, graphically illustrating the situation. A decision on the appeal is expected soon. Residents say the new owners' plans for the site infringe their right of way, right of access and right to park. We think we have the right of way and use of the road.
