Blog: Hi all,
I need advice with regards to a parcel of land in my town which is going to auction.
This land is considered suitable for residential development though an application dated 30/11/2001 was refused due to the close proximity of mature trees along its borders. It is in a semi rural position, though, only across the road from other houses and an old traditional pub.
My queerie is; should I be the successful bidder at auction, would it only be a matter of time before planning permission was granted, or is there more to it than this. My idea is to build a bungalow (similar to the houses across the road) or a very upmarket log cabin.
I hope someone can advise here as the auction is only about 4weeks away.
Many thanks,
Blog Reply: It's not a matter of time until PP is granted, it may never be granted, unfortunately no one can predict the future. However to give you a flying chance write to your local authority planners stating what you would like to do with the plot and whether your plans carry any credibility. Alternatively seek an appointment asap as a written reply can take up to 4 weeks sometimes! Usually 2 though.
Land for profit.
Blog Reply: You need to find out exactly why the permission was refused and if it went to appeal, what the appeals inspector said. (This is all available at the planning office.)
If these documents show that they had no objection to the principle of building a home on the plot and the only objection was due to close proximity to a tree, then this is good news.
This means you could try to redesign the scheme to be clear of the tree.
(Alternatively, if the tree were to develop an unfortunate desease then it would have to be cut down ..... if you get drift!!!)
Blog: Thanks for the replies,
As I understand, there has been no appeal.
I am currently reviewing the options open to me and trying to come up with suitable amendments to the original plans.
I will update you should I make further progress. However, thanks again,
Blog Reply: May I suggest you visit your local authority planning department and talk to them. They are usually most helpful and will advise you what sort of application is likely to be accepted. If you have the planning department on your side you are almost there. The only problem then is a member of the planning committee objecting because they have a vested interest!
