We have applied for a new access which was part of a larger application which was refused by committee in 2006 but allowed by inspectorate in 2007.
We have been told the planners will support it but they have delayed the decision for over 13 weeks now and our councillor neighbour has got one of his pals to get the town council to object. We think it will now go to committee and could be refused as they are entitled to a different view about aesthetics even though the inspector was specific that he agreed with the CA officer the access gap was not unsightly.
We have got frustrated and started to take down the front wall, only where the gap would be and now enforcement are threatening that we will have this application voided and have to start again anew plus pay another fee.
