Hi

Hoping someone can help with advice on this senerio!

Planning was going through, now there is an about turn as a planning officer has sighted the land as agricultural and it has been proven that it is legally not ! But the officer has stated that in his opinion it is so that is that !!! Where do you go next as this appears to be a personal grudge rather than based on the facts !!!

Help needed please ...

Peckham Rye Park was formed out of agricultural land in 1894.. Maybe under some old Act it still is. ?

The point is it is not agricultural land ...definitely ...but I have read if we go to the ombudsman to appeal they always side with the planners ...so what do you do ...it is personal, we believe the planner has a dislike or had a run in with the architect we are using or the neighbours have a contact in the office to oppose it !!!
Where have you read that the Ombudsman always sides with the planners? If you're that worried about the relationship between the planner and your architect, use a specialist Planning Consultant for an appeal. They deal solely with matters like this, whereas an architect's experience will usually be limited by comparison...

Lot of conjecture in the OP.

If not making sense with planning contact then ask for an alternative person to deal with.

If still not happy then escalate.

Also look for similar local applications and do your history on the people you're dealing with,

Or just join the masons and sort it that way.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time

    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
