Chiclana
A friend of mine was viewing a house opposite La Raya with an estate agent. Whilst there a man from Town Planning came to the house wanting to take photographs. He said that they were going around taking photographs and if possible measuring the properties to see if they were complying with the licences. Apparently the estate agent blanched. Also she was told that an area around Pago to the left of the drover´s road was pink land when asked what that was she was told that it meant it was for industrial use.

Re: Chiclana
Seriously Glynis...have you considered setting up your own Chiclana website?? I'm sure it would be popular ! Well if the town planning are documenting all these illegal extensions and non conforming properties, it then remains to be seen if they do anything about it. There is a two storey house in Las Caulinas that needs demolishing... YOu could even organise the sit in when they plan to build Ikea next to the drovers road..

Re: Chiclana
I do feel sad though. As only a couple of years ago you could sit in the garden and hear nothing but bird song. Now it´s just builders working. Also you felt as if you were in the country with horses and chickens in the field and even the odd turkey behind us. All gone. It is not just the actual properties it is also the light pollution they will cause when they finally get habitated.

Re: Chiclana
That seems rude Andy even accompanied by a big smile!! And why should people be forced out of their homes. I know in a developing area it is inevitable that open spaces will get built on...but builders should learn the lessons of the Costa del Sol. Glynis perhaps you should plant a tree or two to encourage the birds to stay. In the summer we have the starlings swooping down to drink from our pool.. they dive bomb and skim along the surface. Even here in London we have a woodland garden despite being on the south circular, and I was lying in bed this morning watching the Magpies on the overgrown lawn and the squirrels scampering along the trees. Last spring we had a vixen and her cubs basking on the lawn in the sun as well, as they all fought to suckle her. Don't give up hope Glynis.

Oh yes we had one of those and it killed all the pet rabbits on the street - If it didn't get them directly it gave them heart attacks trying
