Further Information

Lainey

hi everyone, well my planning came back, further information.. but i think its not too bad its only on two things .. questions raised about the sight lines (architect thinks may have to approach neighbouring sites) and also the percolation area (may need to be raised).. does anyone have any comments on these??? my other half is blue yet i am remaining optimistic ???

thanks v much for patience

In relation to sight lines it is a fixed requirement unlike for example the design of your house which may be interpreted in different ways by different people. The vision line requirements are usually clearly set out in the development plan for your county and if the splay of the vision lines traverses third party property then you need consent of the owners.

You havent indicated if a site assessment was carried out or not but if it wasnt its probably best that you get that done now. In any event your architect should be talking to the local E.H.O. about this and trying to overcome the problem that exists.

Hi very often all that is required for sight lines to be achieved is for neighbouring farmers or house holders to sign a an agreement that they will maintain their hedge so it won't interfere with your sight lines, depending on the nerighbour farmer this may lead to you paying something towards the upkeep of the hedge. Perhaps if you scanned in your sight map we could offer more help.

In relation to the perculation area, do you have the results of your perculation test? Do they state that a raised perculation area is required?
