The major new £422million airport set to transform European island with 18million passengers a year

According to the New Heraklion International Airport, the new airport will serve 10million passengers each year, after opening.

This number will then rise to 18million after some time.

There will be 19 boarding gates, eight of which will be of combined use for Schengen and Non-Schengen flights.

There will be space for 27 aircraft and also a terminal building with five levels of retail space and permanent exhibition areas.

A masterplan map also shows an area shaded in purple that suggest future retail space.

In addition, the airport is due to be one of the biggest in the country and when it opens it will replace the existing Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport in Heraklion.

Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport opened back in 1937, however, it can only accommodate eight million passengers a year.

Kastelli International Airport is being built to handle the growing number of tourists heading to Greece each year.

The airport will be located a 25-minute drive away from Heraklion, which is the largest city on the island.

In total, the airport is expected to cost €500million (£422million) to build and generate a total of 7,500 jobs in the area as well as a further 37,000 indirect jobs.

In addition, the new airport is expected to give new life to Crete’s tourism.

According to Tornos News, the new airport will create a number of new roads and contain one runway which stretches 3,200 metres long with one parallel aircraft movement taxiway,

A trial launch of of the airport will take place next summer, before a full opening in 2027.

Currently, airlines including easyJet, Jet2 and British Airways fly to Crete.

These are likely to move to the new airport when it opens.

And there are a number of other new exciting airports opening around the world.

A new £25billion mega airport is also opening in Europe to ‘take on Heathrow and Dubai’ with 65milllion passengers.

Plus, one of the world’s busiest airports reveals plans for new £7billion mega terminal with 50million more passengers.

I got a fence to block out my neighbour’s garden – there’s so much mess the fence FELL & then they angered me even more

A WOMAN has declared a ”neighbour war” after her neighbour’s garden was so full of rubbish it caused her fence to collapse.

Furious social media user @hughesrachy took to TikTok to rant after the mess in the neighbour‘s garden caused her wooden fence to crumble – and eventually fall down.

Overgrown and cluttered backyard.

According to the woman, the person living next door had accumulated a pile of items which the man stored outside.

A recent video posted online also revealed ”the state” of the garden, jampacked with full bin bags, plastic storage boxes, wires and even what appeared to be an old washing machine.

There also seemed to be old tech, a canopy with no cover on top, a string of garden lights, a swing frame with no swings and more.

The TikToker claimed that they ”had a fence in front of this” – but that the neighbours ”had put all kinds of stuff inbetween the two fences”.

This, she claimed in the video, caused her fence to fall down and the TikToker was left with a ”crumbled fence behind”.

After approaching the neighbours and asking to go halves to cover the cost of a new fence, the woman said they ”refused” to chip in.

Eventually, the neighbour‘s fence collapsed entirely and fell down into her garden, revealing a huge mess on the other side.

The woman went on: ”So had it removed was it wasn’t safe.”

Unfortunately for the TikTok user, it didn’t end there.

Not only is she now left with no fence and privacy whatsoever, she claimed the neighbour ”won’t pay and is waiting for her ”to pay to get a new one”.

”How is this ok?” she was outraged, declaring the start of ”neighbour wars” in the caption.

Since being posted online, the clip has taken the internet by storm, amassing close to 460k views in just 16 hours.

It also has over 2,200 likes and 345 shares – however, the TikToker has turned commenting off.

How to create privacy in your garden

CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:

1. Fencing

  • Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.

2. Hedges and Plants

  • Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.

3. Outdoor Curtains

  • Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.

4. Sound Barriers

  • A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.

£20,000 garden fence fine

UK boundary rules mean your humble garden fence could turn into a legal nightmare if you get it wrong.

Whether you’re upgrading panels or building from scratch, the regulations are clear and local councils aren’t afraid to crack down.

New rules which came in last week under the The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 outline what homeowners can build without needing full planning permission.

Gurpreet Chhokar, Which? Legal Expert, said: “If you’re thinking of putting up a new garden fence this summer, there are a few important things to bear in mind to make sure you don’t break any laws and find yourself landed with a fine.”

Back garden fence

For a back garden fence, you’re allowed a fence up to two metres high (that’s about six foot six) without needing planning permission.

Gurpreet said: ” if you don’t have planning permission then your fence can’t be any higher than two metres from the ground.”

Go any higher, even with a decorative trellis, and you’ll need to get approval first.

Skip this step and you could be forced to tear it down, or even worse – face enforcement action.

Front fence

At the front of your property, things get stricter.

Fences can’t go above one metre if you live next to a footpath, road or public space.

That’s just over three feet tall.

It’s designed to help visibility for drivers and pedestrians but plenty of homeowners are caught out.

Breaching planning rules can lead to an enforcement notice and, in some cases, fines.

If your fence causes a statutory nuisance, such as flooding or blocked drains, you could face penalties of up to £5,000 or £20,000 for a business under environmental regulations.

Ignore it, and things can escalate to court.

Neighbour disputes are the most common property complaint in the UK and they often boil down to where the boundary actually is.

Before building, measure up carefully and chat things through with your neighbour.

Snapping a few photos and getting a handshake agreement could save you a legal headache down the line.

FAI finances made Hallgrimsson’s home-based Ireland team dream impossible as Josh Honohan given chance to wave LOI flag

HEIMIR Hallgrimsson declared last July that he hoped to bring together a home-based Ireland team in the winter to assess League of Ireland players.

At the time, the Icelander said: “Even if it gives only one player or two players for the next Fifa national team window, it is worth it.”

His idea was coolly received by the clubs — who did not want players playing out of season — and by the cash-strapped FAI.

Ireland women’s manager Carla Ward had to clear it with her bosses that she could bring 24 rather than 23 players into her camp for last week’s games.

So a whole new men’s team was not financially viable.

But Shamrock Rovers’ Josh Honohan is in the Ireland squad for tonight’s game with Senegal and Tuesday’s match with Luxembourg.

Hallgrimsson could not bring a whole squad together for a look but he is a regular attendee on Friday nights and is doing his homework.

Honohan has the talent and ability to make his scouting  ‘worth it’.
