Update: We got permission. YAY YAY YAY!!!! It took a long time!!! The Council would not give us pre-app advice as it was retrospective so we got the help of a planning consultant who was worth her weight in gold. The objections received, using the words of a neighbour, can only be described as...

Well bit of an update. My other half emailed a councillor to ask him to kindly have a look at the fence in person so our application was fair and unbiased as objections give the impression of Colditz, anyway he got a reply back saying he and his wife looked at it "weeks ago" after being...

Town Hall doors are closed for Covid. Looks like will have to try the email route. Going to think about this, as its a bit like hitting your own fingers with a hammer, do i really want to know? My stomach always cringes with dread whenever I click onto the planning portal to see if more slurry...

I can actually view it in person? Not very nice things said already on the portal so expecting to hear we are members of Satan's Disciples or something like that! Will they actually let me see the name and address on it as well? and thank you for all your replies it is greatly appreciated...

it might be the address and name at the bottom but there are two paragraphs blocked out. On other objections there has been even the house number of one of the objectors mentioned and that was not blacked out which makes me think that this is just some words rather than an address.

Hello I wonder if anyone could kindly tell me if you receive an objection for your planning application and some of the comments have been blacked out, can you request to see a copy without the comments being blacked out (i dont mean the name and address as obviously i know that would not be...

thank you, advice is greatly appreciated.

I see what you are saying Mr Rusty, but without the fence the house just doesnt meet our needs (we wouldnt have bought it if we had been told there was a planning permission with a condition that said planning permission was needed), its really important to us. The enforcement guy said just...

thank you we will have a look

thanks Old Salt but we are not doing ANYTHING before planning gives us an official nod (got loads of ideas like that but because we cant book pre-advice dont know which one is the best to go for). We have a feeling no matter what we suggest in an application that it will be opposed someone else...

Hi thank you - we have plans detailing boundaries, there is no footpath to the road but everyone has kept a "grass verge" at the front adjacent to the kerb (ours was made purposly wider at the time - but after it was put up we decided to move it even further back (but we had to ask the...

Just a thought? is it possible to book a pre-application advice session from another local authority nearby? does anyone know if this has been done before (questioning now EVERYTHING to make sure its a legal thing to do before doing it)!

Sorry to ask again...... update: we have 21 days to submit an application. I asked to book a pre-planning application visit but was told that it was "not appropriate action". We now feel out here all on our own. We have no idea how to submit an application or what would be acceptable to...

thank you it is set back from the road nearly 2 metres as we thought about being able to see. The enforcement guy said he would need to contact the other fence owner because if he saw other examples of whats not allowed he has to act upon it, that is why i knocked on their door to talk about...

thank you for your help. we will have to apply. yes there is an example of another fence (ask the guy who lives there and he said had no complaints about it) which makes us feel that its a personal thing or someone being NIMBY about it.

thank you.

Hi am new here and found this site online and hope that someone would have some advice as we have no experience of applying for planning permissions. We put a fence up around our front garden (not high its just one metre) and an enforcement officer (who was nice about it) has told us verbally...
