"It was a lovely tranquil space that just needed a bit of TLC - and it's just been concreted over. "Everyone is just so upset by it. Now we're just blighted by round-the-clock noise." The local council initially refused permission for the development, but Urban successfully appealed to the Planning Inspectorate in London. Fellow resident Mark Gledhill, 50, added: "When the roller is going up and down, it's just horrendous. "A neighbour had a tealight on the radiator that fell off - thankfully it wasn't lit." He claimed that the site manager had "fobbed off" their concerns, fuming: "To be honest, I don't trust a word they say." Now, a separate planning application has been lodged by Connect Housing to build 78 homes on a nearby site, which has also provoked huge opposition from locals. Sharon Hepworth, 53, lives among a cluster of four-terraced homes dividing the two housing schemes.
