CFN Thread #9 (Better call Planning)

WhatIsThisWatt · 02/08/2017 18:24

Okay so I wasn't going to post until I'd had some kind of resolution. However, planning called today to ask if they could access my garden on Friday as they need to do some "further investigation" and have another planning official who will be there to oversee it??

They wouldn't tell me over the phone what it was about (it wasn't Nice Planning Lady, it was someone I hadn't spoken with before)

Thanks pp for the thread title - which coincidentally was very apt!

No sign of CFN/ builders etc.

There's now a sign up saying
NO ENTRY IN TO PRIVATE GARDEN
CONTACT SOLICITORS NAME if you require further information.

I thought the same as fucktrumpet. Do your other neighbours who own gardens have doors?

C8H10N4O2 · 02/08/2017 20:11

Work is so inconsiderate - thoughtlessly keeps me away and another N hundred posts appear including a momentary panic to find the link to thread #9!

@Watty my guess would be that PP is correct about English Heritage, esp if the overall building is particularly prized/part of conservation area as well as listed.

Have we had the paella and sangria recipes yet? And are NNDN (50ish - close enough to be Mark Harmon :)) and Abuela now an item??

ITWSBT.

WhatIsThisWatt · 02/08/2017 20:18

neo yes the flats which own the gardens all have doors similar to mine. The ones which do not own gardens have windows exactly the same as the one that was knocked out. If that makes sense? Grin

I am sitting at Sydney airport at the crack
Of dawn waiting for my plane. First thing I did was find the new thread! Then I updated my Dh on the latest. This thread has done the impossible, he is reading mumset!!!

KoalasAteMyHomework · 02/08/2017 20:23

Phew! So glad there's a thread 9!

WhatIsThisWatt · 02/08/2017 20:24

Hi C8 yes the building is under a certain category (as well as being listed) don't want to go in to too much detail

Haha Abuela is horrified at the thought of her and NNDN because... direct quote: "too much time in the gym and fixing car"

How she knows he goes to the gym I do not know. He is quite handsome but doesn't particularly look like he goes to the gym. And he has been out at his car once. 😂

She's not easily pleased!

@SchadenfreudePersonified I can only hope. Failing that, I can hijack the speeches with CFN news updates!!!!

rslsys · 02/08/2017 20:30

So, what thread number will be on by Friday??

minxlynx · 02/08/2017 20:33

I presume that the properties that have a door and a garden (which would of been a courtyard) have them because that was how the original property was set out. So OP, flat 6 , 4 and 3 (going by the diagram) all have a garden.

minx pretty much, which I know may seem "unfair" to be looking out on to someone else's garden but this is obviously reflected in price.

Whatisthiswatt do you look out on to flat 6s garden too (through a simular window that your CFN had)?
