Welcome to this website which has been created to highlight the damage Rayden Engineering was allowed to inflict on his residential neighbours without any form of planning consent, and Erewash Borough Council's failure to enforce planning legislation which would have prevented forseeable flood damage to 15 homes adjacent to Rayden Engineering's unauthorised development of high risk Flood Zone 3 land. Land Rayden Engineering took through adverse possession in order to expand a heavy industrial engineering business onto the last parcel of land not already occupied by this company.

For anyone interested in the inequalities experienced by the ordinary person when faced with unauthorised development and council indifference, then you might find this website of interest.
