The freeholder of the building where I own a ground floor flat submitted plans to convert the basement into a new flat in February this year.
I objected to the plans as they included a door and window into our private garden, but over 6 months later they still show up as pending a decision.
I have spoken to planning and they say that the submitted plans are not acceptable, and are waiting for the applicant to revise their plans.
Is there any time limit when the Council must either approve or refuse permission, or can the planning application sit their indefinitely?
We are thinking of moving, and the undecided planning application will clearly put off any potential buyers.
