IT is back to square one for the Franklin family as Wingecarribee councillors agreed to move the sewer pipe under Greg Franklin's land if he agreed to drop any compensation claims.
General manager Jason Gordon said the council resolved in closed session at Wednesday's meeting to have "without-prejudice talks" with Mr Franklin in the hope of getting the issue solved by the end of next week.
Mr Franklin said he could not drop the claim because of the amount of money he has had to pay in legal and application costs.
He, therefore, cannot get a home built, despite a loan from an anonymous donor.
