Hello Mart
How are you hope things are good and you had good xmas..?
Im still waiting to hear from them have heard nothing back after I sent the last email which I stated I did not agree with my planning application to be amended, as the sheds where not built for horse and have never been used for horses.
The sheds where built for storage of tools and for the process of a small farm. I did not here anything after I told them I did not agree with the amended plans from their side. I have the letter from the enforcement officer that states that the change from horsicultre land to agriculture land is under permitted development and that no planning is needed for this.
So why have they put the change of use of the land in with the planning application to keep the sheds...? Is this so they can charge me more money...? than the standard fee of £96 and not the £466 they are asking for.?
I called them after they asked for more money and then explained I had a letter stating that the land can be changed to agriculture with no planning needed. The women on the phone said i will have to go away and do more investigation.
So i thought I would rate to here back about the extra investigation they had been doing, as you would, because that is what she said she was going to do.
But I then got a email saying because I had not been in touch about the amendment to the plans, which I had that I had 14 days to write back or the application could not be processed this was over 2 months ago and I sent her another email saying I was waiting for the outcome of your investigations as that what you said you where going to do.
I also stated again that I do not agree with the amended plans and that I think it should be processed for what it is and how the application was submitted to them.
I have not heard anything back after this no refund, no email, no nothing...? Its been nearly 4-5 months now from initial visit planning application and still no further forward.
They haven't mentioned the caravan or been back to in touch about it. So at this moment I am still no further forward.
I am just going to start my farming and do as I want and I am quite willing to take the sheds down get my money back as they have done nothing so why should they keep it and as the change of use is free, then they should not keep my money.
I will then put in other applications when the farm is up and running and I have access to another 15 acres just up the road as and when the farm grows. But this piece is where I am basing my farm has it has electric and water and is closest to my home.
When I will here from them is anyones guess as they just seem to do anything and everything they want.
How long does it have to go over to not be passed by default? I have proof the emails where sent and I sent them to the planner and the planning department saying I do not agree with the amendments, so they cannot say I have not told them I want the application to go through as I planned it to.
Nice to see you are still following along Mart appreciate it
