And thus began the fight for my backyard
For about a year ago we bought, what I would call, my dream house. It was not big, but it is located in a very cute area, with the best neighbours I could ask for, and best of all; the big grand forest is just on my door step. Out of my kitchen window I got the untouched beauty of the forest and wild-life. Out in the forest I got my quiet sanctuary

To give you an answer, no, your request are not unreasonable. But these are house builders we talk about. They have a reputation of being irresponsible. Not long ago it was in the newspaper about this guy who got his view blocked by a big apartment building, but was granted no compensation by Selvaag. This guy had a tree in his garden long before the apartment building was built. Now, Selvaag is demanding that he removes the tree, or pays a huge compensation, as the tree is blocking view from apartments.
But I hope you manage to get some changes done so it will not be so dang close to your house. I noticed just HOW tight things were built in your area. Given just HOW MUCH SPACE is there, I do not understand why this is desirable. I see it so many places. You can see the older places with nice space between houses, and new, where houses are so tight together. If they plan to build 150 new houses, it should be some "air" between them, or else the area is going to feel just too cramped!
Good luck!

And yeah, it is very cramped here with houses. We need the forest here to give us space. Also the people who live inside the loop of Kalkbrennerveien agree that they need the forest there, and in the very least the forest path to remain intact. And to be honest, I think that any people who would buy property in the new housing area would also prefer some air between the houses. I can not see anyone would enjoy having their property crammed up against ours, when we only got 4 metres from our wall to property border.
Thank you, mean while I will try to keep hope up. :)
