Thanks guys, I think ill just leave it. The objections are so far wrong Id be really upset if the planning officer wasnt able to spot it.

Hello Could anyone advise; Once an application is sitting online, and neighbors/parish submit objections, is there are method by which we can respond to objections? For example, a neighbor has objected highlighting that a previous application was rejected. Shes completly got her facts mixed up. can we respond to that, or is it now puerly down to the planning officer to do their homework? Thank you all.

Fair point.

To be honest the objection is pretty weak. They have objected that the road is too fast for a new driveway. It's a 30 zone and the splay diagram meets Highways 60m / 2.4m request. They have objected that the drainage in the village is alredy stretched, which is news to me. Utiltiies have been written to and responded to, and they havent mentioned anything about drainage being stretched. They have disagreed with my planning access atatement which mentioned strong transport links....saying that transport links are poor. Whilst I think their objections are on poor grounds, I dont think its right that they should surcumvent protocol. We pay our taxes (yes I used that line), and we have to abide by council rules...I dont see why the Parish shouldnt too....especially when they are trying to prevent us building a home.

Hi all, This is a legal question I guess but would appreciate any advice. I have a planning application in for a new build. I have spotted this week on the portal that te Parish Council have submitted an objection. Obviously planning are sticklers for the rules and we have had to jump through a lot of hoops, but Im feeling a little aggreaved as the Parish council, in my opinion haven't obided by their rules. Is there anyone here clued up on matters of law and know what we might be able to do; The Parish Council, so far as I understand it, are legally obliged to publish meeting agendas 3 days prior to a meeting. However guidance is 5-7 days. An Agenda was published yesterday on the Parish website (21st July) for a meeting which took place on the 14th July. i.e they didnt publish the agenda 3 days prior to the meeting. I have emailed the Clerk to claify, and she has replied to say they had a problem with the website, but she publishes agendas on the public noticeboard. As luck would have it I have also photographed the noticedboard, and no agenda was published. As I understand it, the Parish Council are not legally supposed to discuss anything at a meeting which wasnt on the published agenda 3 days prior. So my grievance is that they have discussed my application, and susequently objected to it. Does anyone know what might be my best course of action (if any)? Thanks all.

Thank you guys. Yes it does seem quite picky of them. Ive seen approved plans fo new developments locally, where they havent submitted a splay diagram.

Ahh good point thank you Mr Punter. What do you use for drawing them? Ive had a nosey online at various submissions and they often look hand-drawn, which isnt my strong point, and Id prefer to do it digitally. Are there any decent online tools that help with keeping to scale that you know of?

We have recently submitted a planning application for outline with all matters reserved for a new dwelling on what is currently spare land to the side of our house. The plan propose a new entrance being opened up in the existing front wall, and understandably highways have asked fror a Splay plan. I've looked at the stipulations they have mentioned (60m visibility etc) and am happy that we can comply,however I'm not sure about how to go about creating the visibility Spray plan. The planning portal says all documents says PDFs should be A4. Highways say that Splay plans should show 60m left and right of the exit, which means 120m, and that they should be either 1:500 or 1:200 scale. Even at 1:500 scale, 120m equates to a drawing that will be 24cm wide, withouteven accounting for the part of the road beyond the line. That means it literally wouldnt fit on A4. I certainly dont want to go back and ask this question, as it would sound pedantic.....but if anyone knows how your supposed to submit a spray document to a 1:200 scale I'd really appreciate the advice.

Brilliant...again thank you.

Regards access yes very good point. I have seen a few rejected on that basis locally. Sorry do you mind if I ask.... but I note that a planning statement is not a required document, but again some outlined applications do include a planning statement. do you think it is worht including one as an oppurtunity to mention access and some other points which might aid the planning officer?

Thank you thats really useful. The local planning doesnt seem to have been impacted by the nutrient delay thankfully. Just out of complete curiosity, do you know why some people include drawings in an outline with all matters reserved application?

We initially had some draft plans produced to build a 4 bed detached property, but have since decided to apply for 'outlined permission with all matters reserved' rarther than full planning permission. I have ben looking at other peoples all matters reserved applications, and notice that some of them include property elevation drawings. My understanding was that an all matters reserved application was to show location plans, and block plans....not elevations of the property itself. Can anyone clarify? Id sooner not include property drawings if it is going to increase the chances of any kind of rejection. Thank you

Oh thats a really good tip.

Thanks Jilly. I have purchsed the 1.1250 and 1.500 documents from BuyAPlan

Ok so I think I have answered my own question. Looks like my location plan doc is 1:1250, but my block plan needs to be 1:200 or 1:500.
