A hedge has been removed which gave me privacy, and as an NHS worker I need a place to relax
I bought a share of a newly built shared-ownership property six years ago. It has a small hedged garden demised to it. This was left in a sorry condition by the builders and the housing association/developer, Notting Hill Home Ownership (NHHO), eventually agreed to cover reasonable costs for it to be restored if I obtained quotes. Before work could start, the balconies of the block were found to have serious defects. Remedial work went on for the next few years, and builders occupied that space.
Once they left, I agreed plans with NHHO. I was then told the same builders were returning to replace flammable cladding and my garden was covered by scaffolding for another year. NHHO again promised it would be made good. When these builders left, NHHO said it needed to dig up the hedge to repair water pipes. The hedge screened my flat and now people can see into every room.
