Neighbour complains about Ayrshire man's 'unsightly' and 'noisy' Scotland flagpole
Ayrshire man's bid to have a flagpole in his back garden.James Ross apologised as he submitted a retrospective request to erect a flagpole at his home in Dundonald and said to South Ayrshire Council planners that he didn't realise he needed permission to plant the structure at the rear of his home.Mr Ross, of Wilson Place, has hoisted a Scotland flag on the 5 metre pole in his back garden.But two objections, both from the same household, protested against the retrospective nature of the proposals and said the structure was "unsightly" and took exception to "noise nuisance from rattling/ whistling and flapping of the flag which casts a moving shadow."Despite Chris and Carol Ross' reservations, South Ayrshire planners approved the proposal
