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.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
