I was born in Holcombe village when it was a small but very happy and very hard-working. Over the years it has grown a great deal, which is quite correct and fair as so many people need homes.
But this was by a field here and a field there, and it was still a happy village until some people came and bought houses with reasonable size gardens then one after the other decided to be very greedy and spoil our lovely village, and other peoples property, by extending into their garden and building without any thought to anyone but themselves, as many houses as possible.
The call it 'in fill'. I call it just plain greed and selfishness and quite possibly, when these people have completed their greediness, they will up and leave.
