CFN Thread #9 (Better call Planning)

[WhatIsThisWatt]

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.

*And your SCONE preferences as well

Now, I might be assuming the listed building is older than it is but here is The Lovely AD in a flashback sequence to when the original house was being built (hence all the extras doing, er, building stuff in the background) He could have been the original owner who pops up from time to time in the film.

Well hello!

Found y'all

Wattyyy just thought - you might want to add to your note that they can't even open the doors as they go onyo your property. Just thought the CFB might suggest a Juliette style balcony thing to any prospective buyers.

I am SO glad that there is a new thread!

Not happy for you though op that this is still gooooooing on!

The CFN can suggest a juliet balcony all they like but I doubt the planners will concur!

He is an ancestor of Adrian and was indeed the original owner - I contacted him via my Weedjie Board to check.

What an amazing co-incidence!

You couldn't make it up!

So glad I'm being historically accurate Schadenfreude. His cheese scone is just out of shot. Served by a serf. Or summat.

Mrsmozart I seem to remember the doors open outwards so juliette balcony wouldn't work.

Roll on Friday!

Yay. Here you all are.
Settles in on train to catch up

Schadenfreude I think I might love you.

justoneday good point! Just wondering how the CFB would spin it to prospective bods.

Thank you for updating, I have to say I am really invested in Whattyyy and her updates but am scrolling for them now as I have lost the love. I am sorry peeps but it it too much love with the rest of the posts.

Plane delayed. Bah humbug. But I do get to keep following this thread:) yay.

Attaching unofficial flag

Stick a rotary washing line near the door and fill with either skimpy knickers or sheets and duvet covers to block the view.

And a double Huzzah as I'm off Friday

settles in for a catch up

Definitely cream then jam. And none of that whipped double stuff, proper Devon Clotted all the way. BEWARE IMITATIONS!

In my town, we have a special, home made, hand made ice cream shop People come from miles around. He also stocks local clotted cream and clotted cream fudge.

I'm so tired and need to sleep and am only on page 4 but just had to say yee ha to thread 9. And did I miss the sangria recipe somewhere along the way?!
