Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone can help me out a bit with the following issue.
There is a small neighbouring site adjacent to our dwelling house which had outline permission for one house on it. It recently sold to a developer who immediately applied for full planning permission for two houses.
I should point out at this stage that the two sites are at right angles to each other as we both are on a 90 deg bend and also all other nineteen houses in the area are detached. We objected on a couple of grounds, proximity of windows, traffic hazard etc.. plus the fact that the sitemap was hand drawn and impossible to read. Further information was requested by the planner from the developer and a new sitemap was lodged. We were notified 9 days later that it was amended and had to reply to it within 10 days thus giving one day to comment. On viewing the new map we soon discovered that our house was drawn at total variance to where it actually is. Its location on the map was double the distance away from the new development and our entrance again gave totally in accurate readings. At certain points on the sitemap it was incorrect by 5 metres.This led to false conclusions. We submitted our concerns again and received a letter stating they were requesting "clarification of the further information" - thus requesting they, the developer, state the exact location of our property.
The letter also stated that they would inform us when they got that information. Yesterday planning was passed on the site for the two houses. We were never reverted back to.
Does anyone know where we should go from here? Should the council have
come back to us or not?
I would greatly appreciate all opinions.
Thank-You
Cari
