UK - NIMBY Crisis !

Shock news during the "silly season" from the part of the world I grew up in.

A cricket club is embroiled in a planning dispute with neighbours because cricketers are too noisy.

Quote:

Darlington Borough Council's planning committee heard complaints from residents living close to the ground.

They included "the noise of the bat striking the ball" and "the effort of batting and bowling" and the lack of privacy caused by the nets.

Clearly there are other issues at play here, people don't get that ****** off about the sound of leather on willow. It likely relates to parking or something else.

It does highlight one of the things that annoys me and makes the headlines during the silly season - people moving into an area and then complaining about things that have gone on there for decades - centuries even.

An example. The pub we go to after band practice, The Lion Inn Trellech, has been there for 400 or 500 years. It's a popular pub which really supports music and local musicians and has a couple of music festivals a year. The pub is in the middle of, and is the hub of, the village. A group of "executive homes" were built next to the pub 2 years ago and the residents are lobbying to have the music festivals banned and music banned altogether from the pub. :mad:
