North Warwickshire borough council.
Looked up my local councillor an researching different sites and town n country act.
Like you say a lot of which was said was tosh
Have found my original receipts out for sheds and have old digital photos with time/date. In some are the foals so they give a time line as used some of the photos in their passports with their date of birth in so have copies of them too.
Many thanks. Bev x
Thats great re reciepts
Dont apply for retrospective planning they pulled the apply for planning stunt on me
Far better and cheaper to appeal a enforcement notice and you get a unbiased opinion
Not the crap the planning/enforcement will tell you.
You could show them copies of photos if buildings have been up for years they can not take action against them if you can prove they have been up long enough.
Your plot can be one acre and still be agricultural.
They will need more than one site visit to prove its not agricultural use.
And the important timeline is how the property is being used on the day the enforcement notice is served
ie if you intensify your use before its is served
Get straight back to us with exact wording of letter when you get it
I had 18 months dealing with one, its not that a big deal once you know the ropes
The planning inspectors are clued up in my experience
Planning officer and enforcement officer said i told them i was living on site, which was not true
inspector saw straight through them
I have cooker, fridge freezer,microwave,kettle full central heating with radiators ,table chairs ect
Planning inspector said he would not class it as living space without a toilet /shower /bath anyway
All the house hold stuff the council claimed needed removing was exceptable.
