I've got a possible planning enforcement notice incoming. It involves a loft conversion, PD, prior planning approval secured and is...complex to say the least. Of course, the greyer the planning matter, the better for us Buildhubbers on the one hand....but equally more capacity a case has to develop in to a serious fight, as both sides look to exploit the whole "greyness" of the case to suit their own narrative, or goal. To my Question: the game in this case for me is going to be to STALL the entire process as much as humanly possible. The works are complete so a retrospective application is required, and stalling will give me the crucial time to earn lots of money in my day job which I can then funnel in to the best planning consultants to help me win this battle. Having never been down this road before, how long can one realistically stall the process? I assume it would go: Council enforcement strongly suggest a retrospective planning app for the unauthorised works (1 month lag) We reject said suggestion (1 month lag) An enforcement notice is officially issued (lag ?) Said enforcement notice is disputed by us (1 year lag?) then how would the process unfold to delay as much as possible? Appreciate any insight from people who've been down this road. *note, within reason I'd be prepared to take this dispute as far as possible, thereby costing the council as much as possible in the process....
