Property Development Project - Day 133

I have calmed down a little but I am still seething over yesterday’s post and the refusal notice when I leave to go and meet the Conservation Officer.

In my briefcase I have copies of the plans I sent in a while ago, plus in a different section the other alternatives for the reduced size extension to the old house.

This turns out to be an excellent meeting in that after the initial pleasantries and her expressing her regret that the refusal notice had been issued, she said how my new plans were much better than the originals and she was quite prepared to recommend them for approval.

For the new house she prefers Revision B with the square bay window and the sloping roof and for the old house she is quite happy with both the revised single storey plan and the new two-storey idea.

Since we have had no discussion about further alterations this begs the question as to why we could not have dealt with it on the phone as she proposed and I could have had the alternative plans in before the end of the 8-week period for the original application.

However I am not going to argue this point, the meeting is a success, the Property Development Project is saved and I can move on with a fresh application.
