Same here in Aotearoa New Zealand especially our biggest city Auckland they are starting to take over market gardens where our food has grown for years, we do have a housing crisis here in Aotearoa with so many in emergency housing etc motels and camp grounds and so many living on the streets in the main cities, don’t know if it’s going to get better or not our government says they are building houses, but the same time making so many people redundant just the sign of the times luckily I live in the South Island in a small rural town so don’t have to much traffic to deal with, looking forward to seeing the new house.
Agree. I live in Auckland suburbs. All around us deveolopers are buying "the house next door" and allowed to put 3 x 3 storey houses on the one section. It's really bad. 😢😢
Even in my village farmland is disappearing, now full with housing, industry, and in the centre of my village ever empty space they are building high buildings..so sad, and they want to place solar parks, windmills…instead of farming…insane world these days…
Our youngest thinks it grow in fabrics…it really sad to see that want all farmers out…in my country the Netherlands is still going…we see farmers give up and just leave to start again the borders, just like Hungary…
I live in Alton. The doctors surgeries can't deal with the people here at the moment. But I love the Chateau. I want to move but can't afford anything in Alton.
Apartment complexes, lots of families selling off the farm land. I moved from my hometown in Tennessee in 2006. It now has 5 or 6 stop lights where in 2006 it had only 3.
New builds leave me cold. Everyone is different but I would rather have an older house if I could afford a home. Live on a narrowboat the last 13 years and it suits me. Even terraces have character. Would want a fireplace, upgrade the insulation levels, probably add internal external wall insulation and under the floors. Wouldn't be adverse to building a new home using reclaimed bricks like an octagonal or round brick toll house with round central chimney with stone mullioned windows or cast iron window frames. Modern cavity wall but the character features in an old style. Be interesting to see what you have bought! My Grandparents have had a Georgian Grade 2 listed end terrace, the oldest to a cottage in Herefordshire to terraces of the Victorian age to the Edwardian, plus 1920's bungalow in Cornwall to 1950 bungalow in Ireland plus older properties in Normandy and Calvados, France.
I love the New Forest! When I lived in London, a group of us used to camp there. The walks & horses are so beautiful! I’ve lived in 2 places now where the nearby farmland was subdivided. The last one, hundred of neighbours banded together successfully protesting to change the road to being a normal size and tiny blocks to larger blocks. The council also put in walking trails that link up to existing ones too, so a sort of win for both sides. Good luck with the coming weeks!
I live in a country town in Australia. Same happening here. The town can’t support the huge influx of new housing. The infrastructure is not there. Now you have to travel 40 or 50 minutes to the place you came from. Not enough Drs, dentists,shops,banks,parking is a nightmare.
We bought a house in the country across from a huge farm. Next thing you know they’re building McMansions all over the farmland all smushed together. Hundreds of them. Cheaply built. Pretty soon the schools doubled the number of students. The traffic became ridiculous.
I am so excited to see what you create in your new home. Your skills are next level. I certainly appreciate that you want to be close to both work and family, so finding everything you want is challenging, but you will make magic- of that I am sure.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home. I think housing is a huge problem for too many these days. Where we live is lovely but just about any spare land is turned into housing or businesses these days. I wish you many happy years in your new home.
Unfortunately there is an enormous housing shortage. Here in the United States between the aging population and immigration. There houses and rental properties are going much higher than the average pay of the population. Sad but true. So happy to see you all again. Love you guy's! ❤
I live in a small country town in NSW Australia no housing developments here just coal mines buying up and destroying the land and Beautiful countryside around us.
Unfortunately the government has set housing targets to meet. The o my tho g we can do is make sure the new developments provide sufficient infrastructure and good design. Good luck with your house move.
It’s the same in Canada. Our farmland is turning into housing developments. We have oodles of land but the farmland in the south is at a premium and that’s where most people want to live.
It is happening all over…gobbling up the land…private investor firms buying up housing to then rent out at astronomical prices …no affordable options for elderly at all in US …seems a good ok boys handshakes between local government, real estate developers etc and who cares about the community of citizens!!!! Just tax us for their pleasure spending our money….gotta come to an end …this from Oklahoma..but back where my views in Pennsylvania rivals your country charm and open spaces…same is happening!! Can’t wait to see your new home!!
Yes, the development is going on like crazy everywhere. I live in a suburb in Florida, and my little community is fighting a townhome development just across the street from us that would completely change the character of our neighborhood. It's currently zoned for two single-family homes and the owners want to get the zoning changed to build 20-25 townhomes on it. There's been another one proposed for some land belonging to a nearby church, just on the other side of the community next to ours. The government seems determined to push "affordable housing" into traditional neighborhoods of larger single-family homes. Our city used to be known as a tree-friendly city, but now they seem to want to mow down every bit of green space we have and every historic building in the name of affordable housing. We are having many of the same problems with illegal immigration as is much of the UK and Europe. The federal government has been strategically placing pockets of these illegals all over our country. They have no interest in assimilating into our culture, only in imposing their culture onto ours. It's causing major problems. Skyrocketing car insurance premiums because they're being given driver's licenses when they don't know the rules of our road, rampant violent crime, and a shortage of housing that wasn't a problem before. U.S. citizens who have rented the same places for years are being kicked out by their landlords, because the illegal immigrants are being subsidized by the federal government and can afford to pay higher rent. Exacerbating the housing shortage are these commercial property-buying ventures that want to buy up all the houses and rent them out to people. Meanwhile, we have many war veterans living homeless on the streets after the veterans' administration has failed to properly care for them. If our elections go the wrong way in November, it's only going to get worse.
I think where I live (in the southern US) we are trying to pave over everything with concrete. Where is the wildlife going? There are coyote sightings near my neighborhood, which makes me nervous to let my cats out. There are deer in folks' backyards. Just craziness. Some of those last houses you showed from a distance, they looked pretty big with no land around them. Here we call them "MacMansions," being snarky, a big house sat on a postage-stamp sized lot. Often so close together your neighbors know what you are having for dinner.
Start secretly planting protected orchids, or look for protected newts, any bats about? No seriously it's everywhere. House building quality is shockingly criminal too, not to mention garages argh! {pet peeve.}
Time to get out the GPR and geomagnetic sensors (BBC Time Team detectors) and run those fields and meadows for ancient habitations, archaeological artifacts, even some buried ancient coin hordes. You might make a tidy profit in all of that. And having archaeologists and universities coming to do the fieldwork, documentation, while you sit back and gain some rental monies for the access.
Youre not on your own with these building developments we moved to our shropshire market town 24 years ago which was a small old market town then at least half a dozen developments and now one huge one of 500 houses on lovely farmland it’s heartbreaking 😢
I hope you have some acreage of your own but like you surprised of the massive amount of development despite the fact that 200,000 derelict homes in the UK sitting empty maybe not in the nicest of areas but gov't can't leave towns empty to build on farmland. Is why I would never vote Tory or Labour as they both have no clue whatsoever what they are doing. Some developments end up bailing even before they finish leaving places sitting and communities wondering and floundering. I hope your new home works out for you and you have enough space that you need. I know you don't want to do much I am betting Carole will want to put her stamp on it so.....
One of the things we’ve seen here in Texas, especially with small towns close to the larger cities is an influx of new housing being built, and the infrastructure not being up to par, for traffic, and especially water, we’ve had droughts in the last few years…Last year the town we live in was under severe water restrictions with some part of the city not being allowed to water, and this was in the middle of summer. A couple of years ago, a big company came in bought several hundred acres and built dozens of homes, though they aren’t for sale, but for rent. It really changes a town. Young people tell us old timers, it’s the price for progress, and while we all love a little progress, when it hinders saftey, and the quality of life, that isn’t good.
It is the same here in New Zealand and what makes it worse is that the houses are basically all the same boring style, same colour, same fencing, same garden designs. I loathe it, fortunately for me I live in a small community overlooking the lovely Kaipara Harbour north of Auckland with a lot of rolling hills and farmland, so I am very lucky. Enjoy your new home, I have been watching you channel for a long time and miss seeing La Ferte.
From village to town to city here. Now someone sold out a huge family farm that has been handed down over and over through the generations to a huge company for a factory. It was bad enough when they built several new housing developments. Lots and lots of complaints why don't we have this, why don't we have that. Now we have roads closed and being enlarged, semi trucks trying to drive on small residential roads, and we have an even larger traffic jam time. Yeah, I know what you mean.
Happening in province of Ontario Canada southern Ontario government official called out on green space being taken away for development and was cancelled as politics involved cronies helping cronies to make money on land development farmers families losing their lively hood ! Needs to stop At least one block of land stopped farming staying ! We have to fighting greed of land ! We need farm land the more food we produce locally keeps cost down ! The air is better lakes clean and healthy we are fortunate just keep fighting the greedy politics ! Keep land open for our children!
Hello from Melbourne Australia, we live in a semi rural area, and have done for 45 years, the developers build on any piece of flat land they can find, they don’t do any infrastructure first, so basically it’s chaos when they start redoing to roads, it definitely is not the same place.
The New Forest ponies arent really wild, they all belong to foresters who graze them there. Once a year theyre rounded up by the Verderers to be bought;sold and health checked as necessary
In NZ a lot of supermarket companies buy land for housing and stick the supermarket in the middle do not only do you have paddocks and establish trees gone you have a supermarket in the middle.
Way way too many houses. How will you be able to pee in your back yard 😅 Try and buy a few extra acres a year. Keep farm land I really do not like noise
It is insane to build on good farming land. There must be smaller footprints of block units. Not all block units are an architectural disaster and those that are need to pulled down and redone. The country side cannot be gobbled up it is not sustainable.
Oh..Adrian. it's so beautiful out in ALTON. SUCH A BLOODY SHAME THAT MEGA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO RUIN THE COUNTRYSIDE.. I SUSPECT THERE WILL BE ALOT OF LOWCOST. IMMIGRANT HOUSING. ❤BABIES🐎 WILL COME TO U BETH. THEY R DARLINGS❤ BETH I LOVE HORSES.. I THINK I WILL COME TO UK AND SLEEP ON YOUR, CAROLES AND ADRIANS HOUSE GRASS(GARDEN) AND THEN VISIT THE HORSES FOR DAYS😂
Its the same in British Columbia, CA. The government is pushing for builders to build build, was no plan for more schools, hospitals, larger highways on & pn.
Yes, building more houses in a beautiful area of land is sad. Hopefully it will take 20+ years, instead of within 10 years. Excited to see your home. Enjoy your week. ❤
Yes, I think the suburban and rural areas are being developed all round the developing world. I live in NJ in the U.S. (wasn't born in NJ) and I think the motto in NJ should be "if it's green, let's build on it'! It's really too bad that some beautiful areas are being developed. It's really a shame. Your area is so beautiful - too bad so much development is happening! I think eventually, if the development keeps up, the only thing left of nature will be the protected areas.

Yes I can’t imagine what it will look like for Zac and Zara !
So pleased for you with the new house purchase. Congratulations. Yes there’s massive housing projects here in Sydney too. Some hit and misses. Sometimes they create these buy off the plan housing projects and there’s no infrastructure re: roads, motorways, public transport, hospitals, schools, shopping centres, it can be a money making thing for councils and developers.
Yes, there's so much new housing in our area the infrastructure can't handle it but still they keep building. I'm sure our taxes will go up even more to pay for the improvements. More people, more traffic, higher property taxes, nature being destroyed. It's a real shame.
Luckily the areas in the county where I live there are many zoning restrictions. Minimum acreage restrictions some being not less than 10 acres, some not less than 2 acres. We also don’t have public water and sewer in many of our towns which definitely restricts high density housing because each property has to perk for individual on-site septic systems and well water. In the United States, each state is different and each county down to each town creates their own zoning restrictions. Of course land and homes become pricier where there are those restrictions. Hate to see the English beautiful countryside disappear. Citizens need to get involved. ❤

So many petitions but unfortunately the government still do not listen 😔
You must be so excited to get the keys. Building is going on all over the world.. A new high rise is going up right beside us on what was once protected green space. There has already been building further down the strip for miles on that green space. Sad to see it disappear. It's covered now with town houses, high rises and row houses. Traffic is a nightmare.
Hi Carole, Adrian and Beth, I am so sorry about the housing development. I am happy to see New Forest is protected, it's so beautiful there. The animals can keep their home as well. I am looking forward to seeing your new place, I hope we don't have to wait weeks. Love from N.Y.
Will there be any farm land left? It seems housing is the main priority where is the food going to come from?
Totally agree 😊
Control the food to control the people. Half of these houses will probably end up staying empty in the end.
The farmland is so beautiful. It's sad to see so many developments. I can't wait to see your new home though!
Same here in Aotearoa New Zealand especially our biggest city Auckland they are starting to take over market gardens where our food has grown for years, we do have a housing crisis here in Aotearoa with so many in emergency housing etc motels and camp grounds and so many living on the streets in the main cities, don’t know if it’s going to get better or not our government says they are building houses, but the same time making so many people redundant just the sign of the times luckily I live in the South Island in a small rural town so don’t have to much traffic to deal with, looking forward to seeing the new house.

Can't wait to see the house!
Hope all the building doesn’t block your view of the mountain side
Hopefully it shouldn’t!
They do that alot here in the US too where we live was all empty fields or farm land and now it's all houses lol
Criminal!!
Exactly taking up farmland in my part of Ohio as well. People wonder why food keeps going up and it will less food being grown for livestock.
We wouldnt need to destroy nature for housing if we didnt have 20 million extra illegal immigrants over the last 4 years.
@@sandrarainier6625 or complain because wild animals are around, like you moved into their area lol
All by design.
They r doing it everywhere. Even here in the USA. More homes, business and parking lots. Give me the country and forests with no one around ❤
Even in my village farmland is disappearing, now full with housing, industry, and in the centre of my village ever empty space they are building high buildings..so sad, and they want to place solar parks, windmills…instead of farming…insane world these days…
Yes. Where will we grow produce!
Our youngest thinks it grow in fabrics…it really sad to see that want all farmers out…in my country the Netherlands is still going…we see farmers give up and just leave to start again the borders, just like Hungary…

Us too!

I say it be years before they build up on that farmland , great views ❤
Let’s hope so!
It’s the same in Canada. Our farmland is turning into housing developments. We have oodles of land but the farmland in the south is at a premium and that’s where most people want to live.
What a nice surprise to come! I love the grounds, the views, and the heater on the ground near by! Love surprises!
To many neighbors for me. Don't like neighbors peeking in because they are too close.
Beautiful little town. Congratulations.
“It’s a real shame! I should be the only one living here!” Tsk.
So happy your back!

It's the same in Thelwall Warrington Cheshire. Building houses that locals can't afford . Building on the land we need for Food .❤
My girlfriend had this same issue but I can’t say it didn’t develop!
Lavender fields are everywhere! Makes great ice cream.

yup, even in my small village in Sway, new housing development in progress.
We are used to close neighbors. Our present home is on an acre but still pretty close to our neighbors…….
It also greatly depends on who the potential new neighbors will be!!!!!!

You must be so excited to get the keys. Building is going on all over the world.. A new high rise is going up right beside us on what was once protected green space. There has already been building further down the strip for miles on that green space. Sad to see it disappear. It's covered now with town houses, high rises and row houses. Traffic is a nightmare.
And can only get worse!

Same here in the USA
Thought as much! Criminal
Hi Carole, Adrian and Beth, I am so sorry about the housing development. I am happy to see New Forest is protected, it's so beautiful there. The animals can keep their home as well. I am looking forward to seeing your new place, I hope we don't have to wait weeks. Love from N.Y.
COUNTRYSIDE……really no choice!!!!
