Daughter does the plans for friends so they pass ;-) - she doesn't work directly for councils she is subcontracted in.

With the city, yes. I knew they'd pass .4% but perhaps not anything higher so deliberately kept it under 1.

With the county, we came to an agreement. I won on the front of the house, he won on the back. :-D

We came under the City Council before unitary authority came in. Now everyone is subject to the whims of councillors throughout the county.

When we had a city council the planners were great and straightforward. When we wanted an extension, I drew up the plans and calculated the percentage of solid faces of the house and glass - environmental concerns made it necessary. I stood in front of the guy with a rather fetching smile I my face, explaining I had gone .4% over.

.4% is negligible in my book so I was not asking for much. Plans were passed. :-D

Another time, County Council this time, I argued with the young planner and in the end I gave a little on the back and he gave a little on the front. He told me I could appeal. I told him I had seen too many appeals fail when it came to households.

Some have no idea how complex the plans are on roads. I only know a little what daughter tells me about but there are some idiots about. No common sense. :-0
