Ta very much Chris.
I've just been to the Planning Portal and made an application. It seems
I've still got to send a plan through the post. And it's just taken me
20 minutes of form filling and box ticking to do what I could have done
in a letter in
5 minutes.....
To me this seems to have put a load of work in the hands of the
applicant or his/her agent yet there's still no requirement for an LA
to have any sort of Arb to examine it.
Having also gone through the consultation repsonse I think I can safely
say this will reduce TOs work load; plenty of people aren't going to
bother applying when confronted with this lot. However I think the DC
Officers are going to be doing a lot of overtime, trying to catch up
with the itinerants or pursuing householders who couldn't be ar5ed.
It seems we're getting away from the principle that growing a tree is an
altruistic act and making it a deed that runs the risk of becoming a
burden......
Bill.
PS. Could some genius turn the form into a word document template that
we could then fill in using the PC, print off and stick in an envelope?
I've just had a quick try and failed.
