Alan Ambrose Posted July 30 Posted July 30 As usual the LA and private equity (Apse Capital in this case) are taking the ... mickey. The LA will spend 10 mins on this.
Alan Ambrose Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 (edited) This was for Means of Enclosures - the plot already has a full set of hedges, fences etc and had these before we bought the plot. And Tree & Hedge Planting Scheme - as before with some fruit trees we planted before we got permission. A waste of everyone's time and resources. Edited July 30 by Alan Ambrose
nod Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Ours had started charging £150 per emailed question To yes or no questions 1
DevilDamo Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Count yourself lucky the fee is per application and not per condition. The LPA still have to carry out consultations and the fee you pay nowhere near covers their fees in processing the application. And… you could have challenged to remove said conditions if you felt the information had already been provided. 1
Pocster Posted July 30 Posted July 30 These are thieving (expletive deleted) for sure . But you do have to look at the bigger picture

We paid to ask one question the online answer seemed quite ambiguous and they simply pasted and copied what we had already been reading online While we didn’t get a no We didn’t get a yes either 😁
Alan Ambrose Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 My pet theory is that this and all the similar inefficiencies in our systems is where 'all the money has gone' i.e. it's not that there's any less money / resources, just that we're wasting it with all this nonsense. 3
Benpointer Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) I'm still smarting over the £1000 council 'legal costs' for a 6 page "standard template" S106 agreement to confirm as self-builders we'd live in the property for at least 3-years. Edited July 30 by Benpointer 1
