Background;
The house we are in had planning permission granted in 1985, but the guy that owned it never built the thing so it lapsed. We have got a copy of the plans from the council.
The f****ng council refused planning permission for the extension we wanted to build due to a f****it/hypocritical neighbour that, even though he built an extension to his house on our side to within the same distance from our boundary as we wanted to, decided to object and hire professionals to object for him which resulted in it being refused (even the pros we had and spoke to off the record cannot believe it was refused) - long story, don't ask.
Question;
So, does anyone have experience of re-applying for planning permission and whether the fact that it had been granted previously would stand in good stead?
I'm sure this f****ng neighbour will object whatever we do (unless, as he's stated, we do an extension exactly like he has - which doesn't give us the study that we need to advance my wife working from home so is no bloody good to us)
Any advice duly received......
