My local authority are a sham when it comes to planning.
They hand an application to a junior, everything is hunky dorey for 7 weeks and then they hit you with the "we cannot support your application".
This is because they've had their meeting with team leaders and then juniors opinions are overturned.
OK you may say fine to this but i've taken now 6 of my apps to a refusal and had them overturned by appeal. Great you may add, but my problem is that these decisions could have been made at planning and saved my clients the time and turmoil to go through the appeal process.
my question is -
Is there no deterrant for planning to get it right first time? Its like they are letting the inspectorate do their jobs for them.
