hello,to cut a long story short, i applied for p/p for 2 bungalows on an infill brownfield site. previous permission 1995 lapsed. refused of course, appealed, refused, ( no street lamp or pavement as an extra excuse ). neighbors support, no objections any where, got MP involved, total support. response from planners, may agree to 1 residential building. which is no good to me, need to sell 1 plot to finance a home for my self. about to arrange a meeting with planning control officers, seems that planning officer jut cant bring himself to back down to much on this matter, even though i have indicated i have had interest from a certain group of people that nobody wants as neighbors. why are all planners jobs worth. rant over geof

Whilst that might give you some pleasure, saying that is really pretty dumb, above all else planners don't like to be blackmailed (well not like that
)Why not just apply and then appeal it?
the truth hurts, wouldnt say it if i hadnt. we have a lot of problems around this area and the council have spent a LOT of money on them. when ive input from ex planning officers of other councils that cant see what the problem is,all i can presume that the local one is just being awkward. geof.

Try and get Eric Pickles on your side.
But seriously, I thought that the presumption was now in favour of developments, and councils need a really damn good reason to refuse, rather than a RDGR to approve. Or was that just a proposal that never came to fruition?
If we don't build millions (yes, really) of new homes* then we will never have a really sound, strong, stable economy.
* And that does not include the several hundred thousand which we will need to house all the returning ex-pats if we leave the EU

Hi - new here & first post but a few thoughts.
Your Council's planning policies have probably changed since the last permission in 1995. National Planning Policy only provides a presumption in favour of sustainable development so you will have to be able to argue that your proposal is sustainable. Using lack of streetlamp and pavement as reasons for refusal sounds like it might be a rural/unsustainable location away from local facilities.
If you've already had an appeal dismissed then the inspector's reasons might count against an amended scheme for one dwelling as well. Expect planners to say their hands are tied by appeal decision.
You say that the site is "brownfield" and "infill" - is there an existing use or any buildings on the site that can be traded off? Also worth checking properly that the 1995 permission really did expire.
Good luck with meeting with planners.
