Hi all,
I have a question regarding the description wording of the a proposal / development in HHA.
Who is responsible for the correct wording of description- the agent or the planning officer? (yellow area attached)
Back story: our planning officer wrote to our agent 6 weeks after validating our application, advising that the description wording was slightly incorrect- therefore she needed to change it. She said this meant a 14 day extension of time was require because she needed to carry our further consultations with the neighbours.
“I have noticed our description for the proposals is incorrect and does not clearly detail the proposed two storey rear extension. I am therefore required to carry out further consultations to neighbours for 14 days.”
Ps. the change was minimal and laughable.
Should the planning officer have addressed this before validating the application?
Thank you!
