I have received a planning application off a developer to builder 94 new one and two bedroom flats over the road from me in four blocks, four storeys high - my flat is a ground floor - large two bedroom with garden and garage in a small block of four.
From what I can tell on the planning application the new flats will be very small and come with no garden - will this increase or decrease the value of my property when I go to sell it?

Any advise when writing to the local planning office with issues of concern? There are no properties in the area more than two storeys high, these new flats will be towering over us, a school and some grade 2 listed houses - blocking the view and light.

They are also buying up a large chunk of school playing fields to build these flats - is there a way to fight against a school doing this. They have been tempted by a large amount of money but once their playing fields are gone they can’t get them back!

Can you help me?

I have this palm tree that I bought at a store and had to kind of force it into my car to take it home, causing some of the leaves to get bent in the hot sun coming in the back window. It doesn't look terrible, just kind of funny -- is there any way to straighten out the leaves without wrecking my palm tree? A friend suggested smoothing them out with my hands but it's not working - would a blow dryer hurt it? Thanks.

We have these tiny little dark brown bugs in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. They are the size of the head of a pin and have antennas. I keep spraying and killing the ones I see but they are all over!!! They jump but they are definately not fleas... I have never had a bug problem before. I live in the southwest. Too small to get picture of clearly. Please help!!!

I just bought my dream house. It's perfect and we want to stay here until we retire. There's a huge problem though that we never realized. Although the house isn't very close to the airport, it's on a flight path, meaning that we are about 15 blocks away from the end of a runway so the planes take off and land right above our beautiful house and about once every half hour when we are sitting outside relaxing in our beuatiful yard it gets so loud for a few seconds that we can't hear ourselves think! It's mostly just embarrassing. We had a housewarming party and people were laughing about the airport noise!

Yesterday I found 15-20 wasps in my house. They were all hanging out in 2 windows and I killed'em all with a fly swatter. There doesn't appear to be any holes in the windows where they could come in. A couple appeared to be covered in soot. Could they be coming in through the fire place? My fire shoot was shut. I burned a fire last night hoping to scare them of if they had a nest in the chimney. Today, I had two new wasps. Any ideas?

there are a bunch of black neighbors in my neighborhood who aren't that friendly (nor sane). Recently, they have been playing football in our parking lot area and have been sitting on the back hood of my car. I told them to stop and get off, but they keep getting on right after I leave. then they continue this every night...sitting and pounding their fists on my car attempting to make rap sounds and eating around there. I do not want to have to be forced to put my car elsewhere or contact the police (since that might cause more trouble later)....what do i do?

I want to know how to get rid of the fruit flies in my house. I think they are coming in through the screens on the windows. We have to keep the windows open because the heat has switched on in our apartment and it is still warm outside. I really don't understand: there is no fruit or bread out to tempt them and the house is clean. Help!

She doesn't care if her pets leave their wastes everywhere. My children are getting sick. Is this some kind of psychological disorder? What to do with it?

I have a question. I live in an apartment complex that is based on income. I just received a note that my rent is going up to maximum and several members of my family who are also in the income based apartments the next town over says I'm making less money than they are and still I'm paying the full amount.

They say that I shouldn't be paying near as much as they say I will be starting to pay this month.

Does anyone know the calculations that it is based upon? I get about 30 hours a week at work and I make 9.30 an hour.
I get paid bi-weekly.

I think that is all the info that you would need to calculate income.
