Good luck with that Che, I dont think our parish council want me anywhere near them, although I am going to every monthly meeting with my little red book to make notes in. Just out of interest, cos I know you know a bit about parish councils, how do I get to be on ours as a councillor?
In fact after our permission was approved, some of our parish councillors have voiced their opinion to the effect "why do I bother to be on the parish council as no-one seems to take any notice of us". Well, hopefully some of them will resign and then we can get some fresh blood with a more unbiased opinion.

Parish council elections ae every four years. Normally the same crew send in the forms or are replaced by a friend. If say there are eight seats and eight people apply then there is no election they all get a seat. So when tthe time comes around get a form you will need 10 locals to sign your form then return it.

When we got one of our planning permissions the local PC wrote an ultra stinky abusive letter to the DC.
Not very adult - and no way to improve PC <-> DC relationships.
Parish Councils in reality have little standing - but do make a lot of noise.
Some might say they are bastions of retired white middle class prejudice and self interest - but I couldn't possibly comment.

Sorry, I must be a bit thick, but where do I get the form from? The parish council or local council.
Thanks

You get the forms from the local council and they will be able to tell you when the next elections are. Keep an eye on the parish council agendas as sometimes vacancies come up mid term due to resignations(same procedure}

Hi,
So... if you're applying now - do you still go for a 3 year temp or go straight for the full planning.
We're pretty confident (I bet everyone thinks that!!) on the functional/viable/sustainable tests and have written our appraisal according to that.
Time to re-write or just go with the 3 year for now...

Everybody is of the opinion that you apply for the 3 year temp and wait for the council to make their response either with agreement or asking you to amend your application, it will also depend upon your Local Council Plan and Policy.
But yes go for the 3 year temp.

Quoted:
Local planning authorities should avoid new isolated homes in the countryside unless there are special circumstances such as:
●● where the development would re-use redundant or disused buildings and lead to an enhancement to the immediate setting;
This is good news for me as if I cannot persuade the LPA that 'change of use' works were started to my building before the end of the time period which was given for the start of said works, I can at least apply for PP knowing that the likelihood is that they will have to allow it.
If I were to go ahead and apply for PP, would you suggest I do so now or wait until the NPPF becomes law (i.e. wait another 5 months)?
What is the cost of applying for PP? We all know it costs £70 for PD, but I haven't a clue when it comes to PP!
This brings me to another question, I don't have the plans that were previously submitted, I presume the council will still hold copies.... would it simply be a matter of reapplying for pp and not having to sumbit further plans (always supposing I like them!)

Romany - your solicitor should have ensured that they received copies of the pp before completing your purchase.

CGs, There were two planning applications made, one which had been approved (the one which had supposedly lapsed, obtained by the vendor who owned it before the ones from whom I bought it), and one which had been turned down (submitted by the vendors from whom I bought the property). I have the council's info on these which came back in the searches, but no plans. The original pp was for change of use to a dwelling, the unapproved application was for an equine business, stables, menage etc and I believe the building was going to form tourist accomodation.
Quite possibly the approval for change of use might have just been outline, will have to read my paperwork (now that I have found it). If it doesn't say, perhaps I'lll visit the council tomorrow and ask - had been meaning to do so before now but with uni i didnt get around to it and somehow hadn't thought about it since.
