It doesn’t even need to be continuous. Extract from my successful appeal 1. I acknowledge that the Council is not proposing to re-define the boundary of the settlement as part of the emerging Part 2 (Land Allocations and Detailed Policies) of the Local Plan. However, this does not convince me that the site does not form part of the village. I note that the house itself would not be positioned immediately adjacent to the settlement boundary and a gap would be left. I also acknowledge that the site is a greenfield site which lies close to a transitional point and is reflective of the wider countryside. However, the Framework does not preclude the development of greenfield sites as part of the exception referred to above, nor does it require the development of a continuous frontage. 1Appeal ref: APP/A0665/A/14/2228579

Why didn’t they request Biodiversity comment on submission like they did with the other consultees they are chasing up? Overwhelmed and playing for time.

Giving you the option to withdraw relieves her of having to write a report up and therefore perhaps embarrassing herself. It can often be a cop out. We refused and got the determination which gave us the meat and bones to appeal against and won with an award of costs. I imagine you granted an extension of time for determination? If you reapply there’s another fee. If you appeal the current proposal, it’s free. I suppose it comes down to how much you want you proposal as is.

During the recent cold spell my 25kW Viessman w200 system boiler returned 5 firings over a burner run time of 62 hours modulating down to 8.7%. Mind you it was minus 8.5C outside.

Good Job I have my heating on.

I’ve just disconnected my timer and put a plug on my circulation pump. Plugged this into a smart pug and I tell Alexa to run the pump for 2 mins or ask it to set a schedule. Echo dot in kitchen and 3 bedrooms. Voila, hot water when needed without excessive hw circulation. Simples

Useful case law regarding consistency in planning In planning law, there is a “principle of consistency” in decision-taking: see North Wiltshire District Council v Secretary of State for the Environment (1993) 65 P & CR 137. The principle is not that like cases must be determined alike, but a decision-taker ought, when considering a materially similar proposal, to have regard to the principle of consistency, to have good reason if deciding to depart from the previous decision, and to give reasons for any such departure.

You could always put a Freedom of Information Request for the documents not on their website. There are timescales for the production of the information. I had issues regarding deletion of some of my planning file and delved into it and mentioned section 8 of the attached document. It worked! Openness of LG Bodies Regs 2014.pdf

We put in a draft application for costs as an appendix to our Appeal document, offering to withdraw the application if the LPA withdrew any objections to the appeal. They didn’t, we won and got the costs award. I did most of the groundwork like going to see a barrister in London on direct access and getting the planning consultant to present the case. The barrister’s opinion was invaluable and well worth the 1k. The pressure of a costs application goes some way if you play your cards right.

I’ve been tracking it for a while, decision must be due soon. Appellants final comments were due in January. The officer’s report is worth a read too.
