Buying a house next to a play area

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Fantastic Smokey, the ones we are looking at are opposite the other play area - plots 133,134,135. (The L.E.A.P area, whatever that stands for!)

 

I tried finding the info on the planning site but I guess I was putting in the wrong search params as I never found those documents.

 

Interesting on the colour scheme, never knew that regarding rentals and the like.

 

Brilliant stuff! I knew asking here I'd get some useful answers.

LEAP = Local Area Equipped for Play

This is the drawing for the landscaping to that area it wouldn't be as worried about undesirables in that part of the development

Last week they were only just putting the drains in for the properties opposite so i'll guess it'll be a few more weeks before they make a start on those properties and start digging their foundations. If you decide to buy let me know which one you go for and I'll make sure I look at it properly

My parents live next to kiddies play area/equipment.  It's a nice area and I find that it encourages more young families to live around but that might not always be the case.  One or two incidents of youths gathering to drink but again, its a nice area, so definitely not an ongoing issue.

 

Ball into the garden is fairly regular.  They own a lot of footballs which I have benefitted from too.  He had to oil the swings a few times because the screeching was getting annoying.

 

Massive positive it that we can just trot outside with my daughter for her to have fun.
