Have you written to your local Councillors that are on teh committee pleading your case? I was advised to do that by my planning consultant and it definitely helped - I had three rooting fro me straight away at the meeting.
I wouldn't know how to put it and there is scarcely any time left to do it. I am so tired
of it all now I just want to say to hell with it. OH is away so can't help, just had his 75 yr old dad to hospital to find out he has to have triple bypass, looks like my 79 yr mother has to have a pacemaker, its me who has to do all the hospital trips and I live 20 miles away from both of them, dog was at vet yesterday and have to take him back tomorrow, kitten needs bottle at ungodly hours (bless the squidgy little bundle tho), OH phoning up to ask if I have put the netting over the cabbage plants
, horses to muck out, sheep to shear, greenhouse sections to paint before it goes up on OH's return and at some point find time to eat and sleep between all the other jobs. The last thing I need is the blasted planners getting all jobsworth!
That's better - 2nd rant over. Now on to count my blessings, the biggest one being my lovely daughter who does all she can when she's not at work. My OH WILL be returning from one of the 'stan' countries, his father is unlikely to have a heart attack now, mothers palpitations will settle, I am there to support them both, dogs ear IS being treated, kitten IS still alive and kicking (or scratching), the netting is already over the cabbage plants (I didn't need telling), daughter mucks out horses as much a she can, sheep to be done on Friday, painting of greenhouse been put to bottom of list, I am lucky to have food to eat and a place to sleep when others don't and when all said and done its only a planning application. There, blood pressure restored to normal and perspective restored. Thanks all.
