Driveway Entrance Planning Appeal Harborough Council This planning appeal was to overcome the refusal for pillars and walls on a driveway entrance. That was refused Our client was initially booked in for a Free No Obligation Consultation to run through the refusal reasons that had been used by Harborough Council and to evaluate if an appeal was viable or if an alternative option would be best suited. The Free No Obligation Consultation which took around 15 minutes found that this case was viable for appeal to the Planning Inspectorate, taking the decision process away from Harborough Council. As an organisation we have been finding recently a large number of errors in local authority planning officers decisions, helping support the appeal cases. We do suspect this has been caused by cutbacks in planning officer numbers and unprecedented increased workloads. This goes hand in hand with clients repeatedly stating that they had little or no correspondence throughout the application process and the first thing they knew was receiving the refusal notice. Our Specialist Appeals Team who handle over 2.5% of all planning appeals in England and Wales that are currently produced and submitted, start by producing a comprehensive and robust appeal statement, that in this specific case covered 18 pages. It is important to detail in the appeal statement where the local authority failed in their assessment of the case, and how and where possible both local and national policy applies in favour of the appeal, additionally if possible brining in similar cases that the planning inspectorate found in favour of the appeal. To put in to context the detail required, this particular appeal was over 4100 words. Once an appeal statement is completed we send the document to our client asking them to check that they are happy for us to submit the case. If we need to add any additional information that the client may have forgotten previously to supply it is done at this point and the case is then submitted. For this appeal an independent planning inspector from the Planning Inspectorate visited the site on 16th August. And we are pleased to confirm that the appeal was upheld and the permission granted on 21st August in a 3 page appeal decision notice. https://lnkd.in/etK93Gey

Housing, water, food are three of the most basic requirements for life. The water systems in the U.K. according to published reports are in need of significant investment. Private shareholders are highly unlikely to invest unless they get a return. Ofwat controls that return and now the government budget is imposing higher taxes on the very profits that investors would want to invest. The highly likely outcome is no investment, water supplies getting worse and lives lost. The potential remedy to nationalise the industry and for tax revenues to be used to make it better. The hint from the chancellor that more taxes could follow perhaps is a link to this? Food supply relies on agriculture and business. The increase in taxes for both and in particular farms will reduce food supply not incentivise increasing it. The introduction of inheritance tax for agricultural land also devalues the value of land so balance sheets and mortgage availability for agriculture reduces. A working person in cities and around the country may think increasing national insurance for employers, increasing the minimum wage, increasing employment rights is great. But at what cost to availability of food, cost of living increases, increased inflation, reduced employment opportunities and the list goes on. The objective assessment has to be that these proposed changes will change fundamentally the country. Maybe to reduce obesity having less farmers so less food supply in U.K. is the objective but foreign imports will come in so our self reliance to feed ourselves becomes less. As we lost manufacturing 40 years ago let’s not lose our agriculture now Please reconsider the IHT issue at least. The changes to costs to employment are already too much and all that is born by agriculture as well. To generate wealth we are told to invest and economists know that’s not increasing taxes. It should be increasing tax revenues from additional economic activity. This set of measures will reduce it and reduce jobs and surely that is not what is wanted?

The projection for next week’s budget announcements continues in various media. The suggestion of a 2% increase in employer national insurance though is one like business rates that has a fundamental hidden issue. The reality is that only half of that is actually needed but because the public sector employers have to pay as well twice as much is needed. The only real tangible financial requirement if the public expenditure on employer national insurance is ignored would be a fraction of what is sought. Whether it is half or what can easily be calculated by the Treasury. The fundamental point is to reduce the requirement for public services and buildings to pay employer NI and NNDR then assess with the reduction of admin costs in HMRC and council business rates departments how much less is actually required in terms of external spending. Sticking with just NI if it is just 1% increase and it actually could be a reduction then business will be in a more economical place to trade. In short my advice is do not tax for public expenditure that does not do anything I invite those who read this to consider the point and share it
