Your right Tash , not been one built in towns for years i don,t recall. regards objections to noise ,traffic impact, privacy, pollution etc, etc these are the normal run of the mill stuff. I bet if i submitted a plan for a brick sh*t- house in my back garden someone would lodge the same objections , nothing new to planners dept. Do some people realy think Chestnuts are unawhere of possible pit-falls.? Leave it to the experts !
