She says the buildings will block sunlight coming into her garden
A retired nurse is shocked at the size of a new supermarket and DIY store being build behind her home. For the past 11 years Mandy Mulligan has lived on Circuit Drive, Long Eaton, and says she thoroughly enjoyed her garden.
However, she feels this is not a solution available for all residents and is not considered a fair alternative to the disruptive influence of the new builds. She said: “The afternoon and evening sun would normally bathe my patio area and back garden, but, once the build is completed, it will completely obliterate the warmth and sun I did have when sitting outside and relaxing in the evening from this time of year through to early Autumn.
"It is an absolute eyesore and is going to be absolutely hideous, there is nothing they can do to make it look any better, it’ll be like we are living on a retail park when it is finished. None of the pictures showed this impact, they just showed a nice couple of buildings with a little car park, not the impact on our homes.
"Clowes Developments are building the development in line with the validated decision notice and planning conditions. We are delighted to bring a former derelict industrial site forward to deliver Lidl and Wickes to Long Eaton.”
