In Planning Permission

[Rockrose]

What does Standard Consultation Expiry Date mean and what part of the process is it?

TIA

[spathiphyllum]

here is some UK gov info on consultation matters

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters

[spathiphyllum]

"After a local planning authority has received a planning application, it will undertake a period of consultation where views on the proposed development can be expressed. "

So if you're proposing a plan, then you need to send it to a local authority so they can come and assess the plans and ground or what not, i assume the expire date means it needs to be done before then.

[Captain2]

After PP has been submitted the Planning Office will advertise in the local press and send out letters to anyone affected or likely to be affected by the outcome of the submission. This has a time limit ie the SCED.
Hope that's lucid?

[Captain2]

Sorry, in that period others can raise any objections they have which will be raised and discussed at the PP meeting.

[Rockrose]

So captain on the pp website it shows the following

Standard Consultation Date Thu 17 Nov 2016
Standard Consultation Expiry Date Thu 17 Jan 2019

Does this mean they will now make a decision?

[bednobs]

that is an incredibly long consultation. Is it a standard domestic property?

[Rockrose]

Bednobs, they want to knock down existing shop that’s over 150 years old and existing house that’s 120 years old and replace it with new shop restaurant and petrol station

[Captain2]

I think that means that any objections to the PP must be submitted by the expiry date ie 17-1-19; the proposal will then be discussed (fors and againsts) at the next Planning Committee which may be a public meeting and a decision made (which is, I think, also challengeable); this could be 'approved', 'approved with revisions discussed' or 'declined'.
This is how it went when I challenged a neighbours plans.

[Captain2]

Crossed a couple of posts then; wow hadn't noticed the 2016 'start' date, that is quite a time period but it does sound like a very delicate subject (I'd refuse it!)

The village already has a petrol station and 3 more on a single road within 5 miles

[Captain2]

I think that what a described earlier, takes the process up to the 'Neighbour Consultation Expiry Date' and susequent Planning meeting.
It must have caused quite a furore, with a lot of objections, and the Planning Office had to go a stage further. This would be the Standard Consultation process whereby Statutory bodies, environment issue people, conservationists, etc would have been asked for their thoughts and reports; that gets us to Jan '19 I think.

[Rockrose]

Cheers we have also had wildlife people turn up and they didn’t take into account the lime trees that are protected!
The bloke is causing such bad feelings in the village

[Captain2]

Feel for you and your fellow objectors RR - sounds awful.

[Rockrose]

Cheers captain

Keep plugging away Rockrose. We, along with neighbours, spent 2 years and a lot of time and energy to stop a 19th century barn(converted to a house in the 1950s) from being demolished. We won! An ugly modern house has been built in a part of the garden but the barn has been retained and is being lived in by people who love it and are going to re-configure it to make it suitable for 21st century living which is fine. Don't give up and I wish you the best of luck.

Just an update to this, this has been extended again till next week.
If I phoned the department would they tell me why?
