cashinmattress Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Paving/bricking over your garden should be illegal, for many reasons. But the big one for me would be not having any birds visiting, and the awful aesthetics. Of course there is idea of changing water flow patterns, adding heat to a micro-environment, etc...

Of course there is idea of changing water flow patterns, adding heat to a micro-environment, etc... i think it is now, for hydriological reasons (water flashing off into the rivers via drains and promoting flooding) you need polanning permission before paving over your garden these days, how much that is enforced I do not know, or whether it has come into force yet, it was certainly intended Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cashinmattress Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Anyone with a dog or who's neighbours have lots of cats when they don't will understand why doing this makes sense in some gardens. I'm ok, but my lady has neighbours whose cat sh1ts in her garden. It's been photographed doing so, and I duly shovel it up and deposit the loose crap on their doorstep. Yes they don't like it, but I don't like their feral animals eating songbirds and fouling the garden. EDIT: When I lived in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada, they had a system where you could get live traps from the local vet, bait trap the damned animals as they came on your property, and you take it back to the vet. The owner would have to cough up, hmm, I think it was $75 to get the animal released, or it was put up for re-home, and if that didn't work, put down. In Toronto Canada, cat's outside have to be on a leash in certain districts. They get used to it pretty quickly, despite the outcry from owners.

I keep saying this but it hacks me off when I look and think thats a nice house then scan the pics to find the front garden is paved over and the rear has a great bloody garage in it. A front garden is for flowers and shrubs and to create a warm welcoming environment bounding a home and the world, the rear should have a grassed area for the kids and to hang the washing over and the rest should be filled with vegetables and strawbs/rasbs. Instant no from me, I'd have to pay to have the front concrete dug up and the garage demolished!!!! Edit tipo Edited May 19, 2011 by zebbedee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FloraPoste Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 that bricky one would be like sitting out in an office carpark, only more claustrophobic. the worst of it is, the vendors will see this garden-destruction as improvements and add the cost of doing it onto their asking price.

And all-over decking like that allows rats to breed like rabbits underneath. Nice. Edit: Oh and this is my FAVOURITE WTF of all time: Careful getting out of that bath!
