This really pee's me off. These people knew they were buying a house next to a school, so what did they expect? It's like buying a house next to a railway line and complaining to the rail company about the noise the rains make. The school should not have pre-empted anything at all. They should have engaged with the local residents and come up with a mutually agreeable conclusion. The local residents should have footed the bill for the fence, or just simply have grown some hedges.

bearing that in mind local residents may not have wished for the school to built there and may have objected in the planning stages
Still think that whoever objected is being a bit small minded ,would be interesting to know how many people objected |
It's been there for at least six years, it had an OFSTED in two thousand and four. I doubt it would have had one the year it was commissioned, so perhaps after about three years. That would make it at least about nine or ten years old. Our school's buildings look new, if presented well in a photograph, but it was built over forty years ago. The part of the building pictured in the link could have been a recent addition, for example.
