Tree pruning heralds new development

On the corner of ul. Trombity and ul Dumki, the screen of trees that have grown up around the plot has been cut down. Not level with the ground, but enough to see that something new is going to rise up on land that was previously hidden to view. I may be wrong, but this looks like the typical pattern of individual development round these parts. First - buy your plot. Then, save money. When you have enough, prepare plot for construction. Get necessary permissions etc. Next step - builders come in to do the foundations. If you have enough cash to hand, and the building season is long enough (no intervening harsh winter), put up walls and roof. Then finish off (the really expensive part!) and move in. This may take five to eight years or even longer. Some never finish, but sell the shell on to someone able to finance the completion.
