Families in the new Corelli housing development in Sherborne, Dorset, say their homes are an eyesore with gardens strewn with rubbish. 6 Piles of building material are strewn across the estate Credit: Councillor Jon Andrews 6 Grass has been left to overgrow Credit: Councillor Jon Andrews 6 Pavements are also dangerously cracking Credit: Councillor Jon Andrews They have also complained of unsafe fencing and incomplete streetlighting around the newly-built estate. Dorset Council is currently trying to negotiate a solution with building firm Persimmon South West, but has threatened legal action if the many issues are not addressed. Councillor Jon Andrews slammed the building firm and described how residents are "fed up" of looking at abandoned piles of building materials. Persimmons South West has built more than 450 homes at the site, the majority of which are occupied. Mr Andrews explained the firm had applied for planning permission to build further properties at the site, but has run into issues with nutrient neutrality - the impact of new developments on water quality in an area. He told The Sun: "They have built 478 new homes, which are nearly full, and the builders have a planning application to build more, but cannot complete their work due to nitrate issues. "Because they can't get planning permission, they have just delayed everything. "They have left piles of rubble, building material, roads are incomplete - there's rubbish everywhere. "They are also not maintaining grass areas, but residents are being charged a fortune to for maintenance fees to a private management company. They are all fed up of it. They think the builders have taken the money and run and are still taking money for the management company){kind=link}
