Finally, there is merriment!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update. As you can see, we have finally got our planning permit and are currently in the 14 day period of displaying our plans for public scrutiny. We hope there isn't too many objections but we know that it's likely we may have some, or one at least!

Recently a planning permit application notice went up next door where we intend to build. It wasn't a complete shock as our land surveyor said he saw surveyors pegs in their backyard while he was working on our project.

The development is two double story, semi detached townhouses which will unfortunately we towering over our little courtyard, They also didn't include any overlooking drawings as part of their submission which is very unusual. We've lodged an objection based on this fact and that our private open space will be compromised with this current plan. We expect they may object to our application as well, and that we may need to erect a screen on the western side of one of the bedrooms north facing windows.

Anyway, it's all about negotiation so that everybody is reasonably happy and can enjoy their private open space...privately!

More news to come in the near future.

Pete's mum and dad were around the day we put our planning permit application signs up. Exciting times!

What comes to mind when you think of home?
