Developer Dunedin Homes said the landslip was not a "simple, quick or easy fix", but that it was working on a temporary measure.

Dunedin, however, said it was "not aware of any current issues with the sewers" and that a report commissioned as part of the adoption process showed it was "operating as expected".

E.On, which is responsible for connecting up the street lights, said it only received an enquiry from Dunedin for that work on 28 February and final paperwork was submitted on 10 April.

National Grid said it was not its responsibility to connect up those street lights, but noted that they had not been part of the original application by Dunedin in 2018.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council successfully took Dunedin Homes to court last year and the firm was forced to pay £4,000 in fines, costs and a surcharge, the maximum available at the time, for a breach of planning permission.
