Hello,

I also purchased a plot at Sible Hedingham with Hambrook and Greenstock in 2006.

If there is another forum where the victims of this scam have got together, please do let me know the details as I would definitely like to be involved. Any information would be appreciated. Definitely would like to join forces and fight for our money back! 

Thanks,

Priya.

"Mick Bell" <mick...@sky.com> Aug 26 03:18PM +0100  

Hi all, every time i see a message like this i put my name down in the hope
something might get done.
 
I bought 2 plots from Hambrook and Greenstock at Sible Heddingham.
 
Since i have never had any contact, i assume that no lawyers think there is
any chance of getting our money back.
 
Just my view.

I know I'm a bit late! but I've only just come across this forum. I've
recently moved and once again looked through all the bumpf from H&G and
thought 'do I throw this away at last? I'll just have a look online to see
if there's any chance of doing anything with it'. The thread stopped in May
2008. What happened? Did anyone get any money back?!
 

 
The directors Andres Schenker & Claudia Daxelhoffer may have been
disqualified from being directors for 12 years in October 2009 (i.e. a
slight rap on the knuckles) but the court made no mention of PAYING
investors back their money! Also, they now seem to be running a smart
consultancy firm called TRESAG (www.tresag.ch) with Andres listed first, as
founder (er, isn't that the same as being a director?) and Claudia listed
second, then a long list of associates.
 

 
Yes, it's 7 years since we bought our plots but I'm still involved in trying
to get money back from Instant Access Properties which was also 7 years ago.
Victims of that scam have an active forum and are working with Spanish
lawyers who are having some success with some cases. If anyone is still out
there and still wants their money back from H&G then please reply.

I think it might be a good idea for all plot-owners to come together
and create a nationwide plot-owners action group. Whether you dealt
with Hayden James, Profitable plots, Hambrook and Greenstock or
whoever we are all in this together and we need to join forces and be
organized if we are to stand any chance of recouping some of this
money we have all lost. Strength in numbers and good administration is
the key and the way forward.
 
Possible ways forward could be:
 
1/ Sue the FSA for negligence, they should have regulated the
landbanking companies before they started advertising to us the
consumer, as they are supposed to regulate all banking and they simply
did not do their job and as a consequence we the taxpayer/investor who
funds that dept have suffered huge personal losses and lots of stress.
 
2/ Track down the directors of all responsible landbanking firms via
the police/ fraud squad and sue.
 
3/ Sue the government for not regulating the internet and therefore
leaving us consumers very vulnerable to fraud and theft.
 
4/ Collectively hire a great lawyer or lawyers who believe we deserve
justice and who also believes the government/FSA/OFT is also at fault.
 
I would like people to comment on this post if they have any further
ideas or would like to expand on what I've said, I am not a person who
knows the law and my comments are based on my own individual
research.
 
Can we blame anybody but the landbanking companies. Can we really
point a finger at the FSA and the government. This really needs to be
established before we can move forward as a powerful group.
 
If people leave their names and plot info below this post then this
could be a start as we will have an idea how many people are amongst
us (so far). There will also be plenty of people out there who will
not be aware of this google group so if any one has any ideas on how
to gather more people who are in the same boat as us then be sure to
air your ideas on this forum.
 
I just had an idea: The land registry has the names of all plot-
owners. Maybe we can get a database through them and mailshot all of
the plotowners, therefore giving them the option to join this action
group, I'm sure most would join.
 
The more people we get together then the stronger we will be. The main
advantage would be collectively hiring a good lawyer if there was a
case against the FSA/Government.
 
Lets get the ball rolling!!
 
best wishes to all plotowners
 
Simon

Hi All
 
 
I totaly agree that we should make a force as we are the victims of land banking schemes run by multiple companies due to government negligence.
 
But also believe that if the government or gov departments have failed to protect public from these companies then we should be now provided with rights to build anything on these plots regardless the green belt fence or other restrictions.

I'm also a plot owner at Sible Hedingham.

It appears legally most avenues have been exhausted.

Why don't we just come together and as a collective, contact the planners and see if there is a possibility that we can get planning on this site;

http://goo.gl/maps/nGTj2

I've checked the google maps and the street view and there is a fairly new development next to our site.

There might be a possibility that this site could also be developed.

What are your views?

thanks

Hi,

What is happening with H&G.

Thanks

Felix

[Gaynor Solly]

Hello there

As I stated in my 25.08.13 email the H&G directors are alive and kicking and probably earning a nice income with their smart consultancy firm www.tresag.ch See more details in my email below.

All the news I've heard from others organising court cases have been for different property companies than H & G. Although I don't know why it can't be one court case for all offenders. I am keen to still pursue them to get my £5K back.

At present I'm in the final stages of taking another company to court for something other than property (last hearing 23rd April). After that I can devote some time to this issue.

In the mean time please go ahead and find others who want to join forces plus a solicitor who can take on the case and I will join in shortly. We already have five people on this thread who are keen. Simon below suggested getting a list from the Land Registry of fellow scammees. He also suggested other ideas, detailed below. Could you follow any of that up?

I am based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Where do others live? Perhaps we could have a meeting with a solicitor based in Essex or East London.

Bye for now

Gaynor

I contacted a planning office regarding land at marlow road. This was their response.

Regarding the Green Belt designation, this is not something we would remove automatically. The Green Belt is designated and reviewed through the Local Plan process, and as it happens, we are currently in the process of bringing forward a new Local Plan. We are consulting on our options at the moment, and one of the options we are consulting on is where we can put new homes in anticipation of population growth. You can find out more and read a copy of the consultation document at

www.wycombe.gov.uk/newlocalplan.

 

However, the real issue on this site is that it is also a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While Green Belt is set out by us in our Local Plans, the AONB is set nationally by central Government, and we have no ability to change that designation.

 

I would direct your attention to the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework, which sets out the national position on Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and in particular, the provisions set out in chapter 9 (Protecting Green Belt land) and chapter 11 (Conserving and enhancing the natural environment), particularly paragraphs 115 and 116 of chapter 11 with regards to the AONB. The Government has placed great weight on preserving these areas, and their policy is that development would only be allowed in exceptional circumstances. There is, to the best of my knowledge, no expiration date to either designation – the Government talks about permanence in their Green Belt policy.

 

A copy of the National Planning Policy Framework can be viewed online -

This was the response for the site at Sible Hedingham.


Through the site allocations process, developers or landowners submit sites for us to consider for being allocated for other uses, although in some circumstances the Council will contact landowners. Some developers buy sites without permission, others don’t. That and the value of the land are not a planning consideration for the Council

The land is no longer in a special landscape area, this is no longer a designation that we use – it is of course countryside

It is likely that the document will be reviewed in 5 or so years and therefore you would have another opportunity to put the site forward at the this time for consideration.

Hi

 If that is the case do we have a right to the land?

I would like to apologise to everybody who has responded to my post from last year. Due to work commitments I was unable to continue my work as a Parish Councillor.

My initial post asking if anybody had purchased a plot in Sible Hedingham was as a result of the Parish Council looking for available land to purchase for allotments.

As the land that many of you purchased, was sold under false pretences and as a result has been left baron for many years, if enough people with adjoining plots could be found it is possible the Parish Council may be interested in offering plot owners something for their patch.

At this stage, anybody wishing to look into this further, should contact the parish clerk.

Sent from my iPad

[Ade Owoaje]

Thank you Becky.

A couple of questions;

1) Who's the best person to speak to now, as I did send an email to all the Parish Counsellors and not one of them hot back to me.

2) Now that it has been 10 years since the purchase, has there been any change in policy and would the council now consider giving planning to build commercial or residential properties on this land.

Thanks for your time,

Kind regards

Folks, This is the latest re Oxford Lane,sible Hedingham,Essex

The sible hedingham report is now on the website. The site is not being proposed for development, although the neighbouring redundant dairy site is.

https://www.braintree.gov.uk/meetings/meeting/851/local_plan_sub-committee

 

pages 65 -70

All sites considered in the Local Plan have to be deliverable. Given that this site is in possibly 100’s of separate ownerships it would need all those landowners to come together, either as a group or under a developer to make the site deliverable.

 

As that has not happened the site is not allocated within the draft Local Plan.

Felix

[felix...@btinternet.com]

Folks, this is the latest from council re Lands at cutlers farm,marlow road, lane end, high wycombe

at our March Cabinet a new timetable for our Local Plans was adopted, and the revised timetable runs as follows:

• Consult on a draft plan in Late June - early August 2016
• Publish the plan in January - February 2017 for statutory consultation ("Publication stage")
• Submit the plan to the Planning Inspectorate for examination in public in March 2017 ("Submission stage")
• Hold public examination hearings in July 2017 (estimated), presided over by an Inspector from the Planning Inspectorate ("Examination of the Plan")
• We consult on the Inspector's main modifications in September - October 2017 (estimated)
• The Inspector issues their final report in November 2017 (estimated)
• The new Local Plan is formally adopted by our Council as a part of the Planning Policy for the Wycombe district in December 2017 (estimated)

You may also want to look at the work that has been done in connection with the Bucks Green Belt Assessment, which you may find here: https://www.wycombe.gov.uk/pages/Planning-and-building-control/New-local-plan/Supporting-evidence.aspx

Our draft Local Plan, which is coming out for public consultation in June, will contain site allocations. We will be holding a stakeholder seminar on 18 May at 7pm in the Council Chamber to share the emerging thinking and proposals, including the latest position on the Green Belt review work, and this will also include some information on the sites which are being proposed to be taken forward as allocations. If you would like to attend this session please email my colleague Sarah Barfield, sarah.b...@wycombe.gov.uk.  

At this point we have passed the point where we would do a “call for sites” – the next version of the Local Plan we consult on will be the final draft before a version we intend to submit for examination is produced. What I can suggest is when we begin the next consultation in June you can submit a comment on the Lane End allocations and suggest that the land is considered. Your comment (and suggestion for a site’s inclusion) will then be considered in the process we go through when we produce the proposed submission version of the Local Plan later this year.

RE: Lands at cutlers farm,marlow road, lane end, high wycombe

I sent my thoughts on the local plan and received the following reply

Wycombe District Council would like to thank you for your response to the New Local Plan. We have had about 3000 responses. We will have spoken to many of you at the exhibitions we held in July, these were very well attended, with about 1000 people coming along to find out more and ask us questions. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to come along to the exhibitions.

 

Responding to representations.

We would like to reiterate that all representations will be taken into consideration as we finalise the plan. We will not be responding to individual representations. Now that the consultation has finished, we are working on logging the responses and will then start to summarise by theme and set out our response to the issues raised. This will be published in due course, before the Local Plan is finalised.

 

Because of the high volume of representations we have received, if you have questions about the plan we would ask you to first look at the information on line to see if your questions can be answered. Further information about what is available on line is given at the end of this email.

 

Requests to see representations

We have received requests to see the representations we have received. Due to the large number of representations we are currently focussing on logging and summarising them and will be in a position to share representations in due course when we have completed this work.

 

Question and Answer Sessions.

Due to the large response to the consultation we have organised two question and answer sessions to provide an opportunity to answer some of the many questions you have raised on the Local Plan. These sessions will be on September 7^th and September 12^th at 7pm in the Council Chamber in the Council Offices.

 

We will be addressing many of the broad themes emerging from the consultation: housing numbers, the proposed locations of development, the Green Belt review, capacity assessments of sites, the role of the AONB, the provision of infrastructure... We are not holding meetings in specific locations because the proposals in any part of the District need to be understood in the context of the District as a whole, and indeed in the wider Buckinghamshire – and national – context. We will then offer the opportunity for those who attend to ask questions.

 

Please note these two sessions are ‘repeats’ to give flexibility of dates, and greater capacity. If you attended a briefing at the start of the consultation period, you may not feel the need to attend these briefings as well.

 

But we ask, please, that you book your place. It is possible that if you turn up on the day without booking, there will be no room left. If we find we have huge demand to attend, we will arrange further sessions.

 

To book your place, please let Sarah Barfield know, 01494 421502 or email, sarah.b...@wycombe.gov.uk, along with preferred date.

 

Weekly Bulletin

We circulate a Weekly Bulletin by email to keep people up to date with progress on the local plan, and other planning matters. If you would like to receive the Bulletin (free of charge), again, please contact Sarah Barfield, 01494 421502 or email,sarah.b...@wycombe.gov.uk, and we will add you to the circulation list.

 

Sustainability Appraisal

The deadline to comment on the Sustainability Appraisal has been extended to 5 September (midnight). Please submit any comments to newloc...@wycombe.gov.uk.

NOTICE OF REGULATION 19 CONSULTATION

Braintree District Council is publishing its Publication Draft Local Plan under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.

A Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) is also published for consultation.

The Local Plan includes a shared strategic section for North Essex. This is repeated within the Colchester and Tendring Local Plans. If your comments relate to section 1 please only submit them to one of the three authorities, as comments on this section will be combined by the three authorities for the Planning Inspectorate.  Comments made on section 2 will need to be sent directly to the authority concerned.

The full document, together with the accompanying Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) and evidence base, can be found on the Braintree Council’s website at www.braintree.gov.uk/publicationdraftlp and is available to view at the Council’s offices at Causeway House in Braintree and a copy of the Local Plan is available on CD, to library users across the District.

Comments received during this consultation will be sent directly to the Planning Inspectorate who will examine the Plan on behalf of the Secretary of State.
