Planning - variation to original submission

[Kelvin]

We submitted the application on the 3 June which was validated on the 24 June. During that time I had a bit of a falling out with architect. Too long to explain here. But the long and the short of it was I wasn’t happy with the site location plan. We worked on a different plan and submitted that on the 24 June through the official variation process.
 

The planning portal still has the original drawings and none of the new ones. Planning made it clear not to contact them until after the decision due date (24 August) However, our neighbours have been notified and one has asked me about the plans but his questions were based on the old drawings. I showed him the current drawings and it answers his concerns.

 

We’ve contacted planning and they’ve confirmed they have the new drawings and will update the portal in due course but it’s been another week. My concern is anyone looking at the application might/will be basing their opinion on the wrong set of drawings.
 

Not entirely sure what to do. I don’t particularly want to chase planning again but also don’t want delays caused by folk looking at the wrong drawings.

Speak to neighbours. I gave them a set of plans before submitting the application.

Yes done that with the three immediate neighbours.

The only other thing you might do is speak to the Parish Council. I called up the chairman and said I was looking to move to the village and had purchased the plot next to the church to build our home. I asked if I could call in one evening to introduce myself and show him the plans. He lived about 8 houses down the road from the plot. I ended up meeting his wife and kids and asked about the local school and village life. He did ask what the neighbours thought and I was able to say they had seen the plans and seemed happy. I think they liked the idea I wasn't a developer looking to make a fast buck so I recommend telling everyone that.
