Install STP and mobile home before PP grant?

[flanagaj]

I'm getting tired of waiting for the LPA to decide our revised application.  Just seems like unnecessary box ticking by the various consultees and I want to get cracking.  Given we already have PP for the previous grant (conditions not discharged) I want to know whether I could make a start preparing the site.  Eg, put in retaining wall, install STP / drainage field and get utilities/ hard standing in for mobile home.

 

Crawling up the bloody wall waiting.  No wonder so few houses get built in the UK

How will starting affect CIL? And will you be able to reclaim the VAT if it’s done before the new PP is approved?

 

these are the types of questions I’d be wondering about

There is no CIL for single dwellings with Hampshire CC.  The VAT point is a good one though and I had not considered that.
