Hmm, why is the building 'several yards wider' than on the drawings according to the planners yet only 4% out according to the owner, that doesn't seem to add up! I smell porkies! Its pig ugly anyway.

If i am to believe all the stuff written (verbatim) then i will agree with Shy and say that they were defo' trying it on.
You would have to be naive to the point of complete gullibility to underestimate the power of planning.
People do not approach a life changing project like this lightly and dim's would have been checked and re-checked. These people deserve what they get.

i just thought with the mention off "several yards out maybe they where talking about the total floor area!!
big all talking in riddles again
The applicant has a valid argument
If the whole drawing was printed at a reduced scale, then all the other components were reduced too, in which case then it is clear that the drawing is not printed to the correct scale. A professional planner would be expected to realise this
In addition it is not acceptable to rely on scaling construction drawings at :100 or even 1:50, and the planners should know this and should have requested dimensioned drawings.
If the applicant pushed this, then I can't see how the council would win. But there may be other issues or not all the facts in that article, in which case the applicant may be trying it on

Woody the scaling issue was but one of 15 transgressions. That rather points to someone attempting to ride roughshod over the system doesn't it - like the guy who hid that bungalow inside a barn in a SSSI area.
People who kick the a*se out of the system to that extent do not deserve any sympathy.

Good point! It's a scam and the applicant is straw-clutching.

Did the kitchen cupboards have a big gap? did the carpet fitters turn up & find out the carpet was too small?
Why was the bill for bricks, tiles, materials etc going over budget so much?
Though why they cannot get retrospective changes to the PP I dont know, does it really cause that much of a problem to be a little bigger?
15 transgressions, could be minor variances to the plan, AFAIK they are quite commo as nothing ever goes to plan.

The housebuilder's mistake was allow a lot of noise to be made, because now the council has to enforce demolition in order to stop everyone making the the same 'scaling error'.
He should have simply heaped money on the planning councillers to shut them up.
