My house backs on to playing fields once part of the sports grounds of a local company, taken over by another. The land was sold to a development company with a head office in Jersey. Theycompany obtained planning permission after promising all sorts of benefits to the council. The sports club and grounds, once the finest in Norfolk have been left to decay for eight years. The historic building that formed the club house was burned down by vandals and there is still no sign of any intention to start building. Meanwhile the land, bought cheaply after the financial crisis grows in value each year.
Landowners should be compelled to start building with two years of planning permission being granted.
