Property Development Project - Day 115

The weekend has gone by and we are now at the start of week 6 since the application was registered.

I call the planning office; after all what else have I been doing regularly now for what seems like and indeed is weeks.

And if you think is as frustrating as planning gets just wait.

My planing officer has gone away for two weeks holiday. Now I know planners deserve holidays as much as anyone and I know he has no obligation to let me know that this was going to happen.

I get to speak to one of the planning assistants and he is very helpful. He looks in the file and there it is – the comments from the Conservation Officer.

However it is not good news, she is recommending negotiation on the design or refusal of the application.

This is where my first mistake comes home to bite me, where I made the assumption that this officer had already seen my plans when I sent them in for comment prior to submitting the application.

The helpful assistant undertakes to copy the comments and put them in the post for me to consider.
