One local councillor, Olivia Rowley, went further and said the company had treated neighbours with disdain by continuing to flout the rules, even after several complained.

But in a statement, Redrow's communications director Matt Grayson, said: "We are investigating this matter and are working closely with the council and our subcontractors to address the points which have been raised."
