"Can the site be seen from a public road, public footpath ... "

Recently, a neighbouring farmer submitted a planning application for a 12m high, 450 sq m agricultural building.

 

Under the 'Site Visit' section of the Planning Application form, there is a question "Can the site be seen from a public road, public footpath, bridleway or other public land?"

 

The person completing the form has checked the box for 'no'.

 

In fact, there is a public footpath 15m to the North and in addition, the to-be-designated English Coastal path will be 100m to the south, as well as the building being clearly visible from public highways.

 

So the response to the question on the form is clearly false.

 

Can anyone advise as to the significance of this particular question?

 

What action could or should be taken when a false response has been submitted?

Ok that’s there so that the officer knows whether they need to make an appointment to see the site.

 

If the site is clearly visible and adjacent to a road etc then they sometimes do drive-by visits.
