It's being brought to my attention that a planning application in my town includes a photo of my private house taken from the footpath,is this allowed,I have looked at the planning application and not only my house but photos of about another 10 private houses are used to show that the new development is similar to other properties in the area..has anyone else being in this position or is this normal in a planning application.Its just strange to read a strangers planning application containing a photo of your private home.
