Council "insiders" and planning permission

Nothing unfortunate about it.[/color]

That depends on the taste of your neighbours. I think some thing should be tightened up. Stone cladding a terraced house should have a fixe penalty applied, such as genital mutilation and forfeiture of the property. think that would be proportionate.

Love it! But a little lacking in proportionality unless they also have t pay for full restoration and are then hung, drawn and quartered, befor burial in lime pits on common land

I don't remember seeing any when I applied for planning permission. The council did send letters to all residents with a 20 mile radius though!

Get hold of your local council's planning policy documents and see if anything breaks their rules.

However you are often at the whim of the planning officer, especially if the council delegate all responsibility to the officers.

I've seen some notices which are dated a year or so ago still in place (very battered and weathered). Obviously the council don't collect them afterwards either.

The message from John Anderton contains these words:

AIUI highway in this instance also covers the lesser public rights of way including footpaths.

But only if they are permanetly open - for example, the footpath through the cemetery behind us didn't count because the cemetery gates were locked overnight.

It is probably not a public right of way.

If it was they couldn't legally block it off at night.

Concur: not too far from me there's a railway station adjacent to a level crossing. There is a pedestrian tunnel that may be utilised to continue walking from one side of the blocked crossing to the other - I've written it this way to indicate that it's _not_ the bridge across the tracks within the railway station- It's sole purpose seems to be for use of pedestrian non-passengers. Anyway, once a year the 'Outfit' - used to be British Rail- closes off the tunnel for a day to prevent it being classified as a Public Right-of-Way.

And it's not a planning related matter anyway.

Drainage is covered by the Building Regulations. B/Regs applications aren't open for public discussion, so all you can do is bring it to Building Control's attention.
