A bizarre row over ice cream vans has engulfed the lives of people living in a quiet cul-de-sac. The bitter fallout has become so severe that those involved, including the owner of the vans, say their quality of life is now being impacted.
The trouble centres around a homeowner who has recently applied to the council's planning committee for an extension to his house. The plans submitted by the resident are to demolish the existing conservatory and build a two-storey extension at the rear of a property attracted objections from neighbours.
A number of the objectors raised concerns about the impact on parking with vehicles coming to and from the property, and concerns it would be used as a business. And, there is already an enforcement notice in place at the Tameside home which allows only two ice cream vans to be stored at the site at any time, MEN reports.
