Do they give notice of how big the damned things are going to be?
It's all a bit of a dilemma. Nobody wants one of these things outside their house I'm sure but they have to go somewhere so someone's going to wind up the loser. It's like street lights, near here there are a number of properties who can't solve their parking problems because there's a street light slap bang in the middle of what would be their drive. They will have known that when buying the house of course but it's still a disadvantage especially now off road parking is at a premium which may not have been the case at the time of purchase.
There's a street near us in which parking was never an issue until the knocked down a small car sales garage and built about a dozen homes on the plot. As usual not enough off road parking was provided for the new properties which meant the nearby residents found it harder to park and one by one had to pay for crossovers to be installed and their small front gardens surfaced over. That's except for the ones with tress, street lamps or road signs right outside...
