Another VoC. Take a punt and just start?

[flanagaj]

I've been asleep at the wheel on this one and should have realised I need to put in another VoC.  Due to a pain in the xxxx neighbour, I put the steels in for our retaining wall set forward 400mm to avoid ripping out all of their hedging to the boundary.  This has meant that to maintain a reasonable width path (900mm) on the far corner of the property, I need to pull one corner forward 400mm.

 

At the same time, I'd like to raise the ridge height 200mm so that FFL is a bit higher than the surrounding ground level.

 

The houses on the land are all orientated differently and set back from the road by different distances.   So I don't suspect it will be refused, but I suppose I don't have any options but to wait the 8 weeks for it to be processed, before making a start?

If you have got a pain in the butt neighbour it would be safer. However, you can always ask for forgiveness if it gets pulled.
