    Wow, South Oxon must be very different from Kent. Here iIn Kent all those things you mention that may prevent your lake's building plans from going ahead are actually in existence in countless forms, yet they manage to build huge housing estates. I cannot fathom how they manage to overcome all the regulations and preventions!

    I’m utterly gobsmacked by what you’ve been through both financially and emotionally. It seems there’s a lot of University graduates making a bloody good living from the ‘green agenda’ who’ve never lived on the land. Looking for newt pee across a kilometre span seems utterly ridiculous. If they stopped draining wetlands to build houses we might have a few more. As a kid, in the eighties, a lot of people had garden ponds and they were all full of newts. These ponds created a network for the species and they thrived. Heaven forbid your lake actually attracts newts, what with it being filled with water!
    Honestly, I admire your conviction and resilience. Fingers crossed for you🤞🏻

    Great insight Ben. You can see why some just wing it but you are doing it right. I’ve got a natural pond in my garden and would love to have my own private fishing pond in a paddock next to our garden. Even though it would be a private venture it’s the planning that is putting me off at the moment. I’m in the middle of a house extension and had a similar series of issues over a bat survey. The lady who came almost immediate found evidence of bats in our loft (very old cottage) so that as you can imagine started the ball rolling. Red tape, lotsa gotchas and lotsa fees! Eventually got the go ahead but the final p’take, after thousands of pounds fir surveys, a final charge of £500 just for the piece of paper that says I can go ahead!

    Brilliant update Ben,it really doesn’t surprise me how ridiculous the process is in this country in order to get things done.
    Having to to get multiple surveys done in order to just to get another survey is absolutely insane 🤯
    I have seen how many hoops and challenges Jeremy Clarkson has had to jump through with his farm.
    I bet the UK Govt didn’t have to wait this long to get the green light for the whole HS2 process 🤷‍♂️
    (Backhanders 💰💰💰)
    Massive respect for your patience and i think most of us would have given up and gone for a ready made lake without all this faff 🤣
    Looking forward to the next update and hopefully the next video will be finally getting the first spade (Digger bucket) into the ground 🤞

  • @JonnyBGood184
    @JonnyBGood184 Год назад

    And the sad thing is you could go through all that, spend best part of 20k and some toss pots on the local Council could still knock it back. From personal experience all these surveys and thier results have a direct connection to how deep your pockets are and WHO you know. You are bang on saying its a system that's fundamentally flawed (corrupt). Best of luck with this mate I really hope you get it as an avid angler I may even visit!

    I have a mate who had an option to buy a piece of land to put a semi-pro football club stadium, houses, flats and business units. One of the things he had to was a 'wildlife feasability study'. This took 5 months and cost (wait for it) £103k (yep). By this time he was £145k and a year into it, the Council then refused his application. He gave up on that piece of land, it's now overgrown and hideous. Councils are crooks, the lot of them.
