A leading housing developer has been criticised after it raised the height of a stretch of land in order to deal with a historic flooding problem.
Homeowners on the Taylor Wynd estate in Hepscott Park say the change in the levels of the land to the south east of the development has resulted in a significant loss of privacy in their gardens.
Bellway Homes had submitted a retrospective application for permission to raise the land, which they had done in order to put an end to historic flooding issues at nearby Goosehill Nursery.
