For the contractor there may also be reputational damage, which could be more costly than any benefit accrued from felling the tree.

Repetitional damage?

 

With who?

 

Not the (or future) clients - certainly not where it is the LA that has a pre-existing and broadly recognised monumental repetitional, efficiency and effectiveness confidence deficit with the general public.

 

Up here, expecting the Council to have htat sort of info to hand is cloud cuckooland. .

 

 

And down here!

A phone call or email to the LPA is hardly doing the whole Hercule Poirot thing. Most LPA's have their planning consents on line, and easily searched by address. If you phone and get a response similar to Gary's then confirm it with an email to the officer, you did make a note of their name, didn't you, or the generic planning department email address.

 

I think that's unrealistic commercially Edward.

 

Our LA has a very good interactive map system for TPO's and CA's, anything else is surrounded by hours of telephonic robot hell, ignorance, lack of response or good old fashioned lies and deceit.

 

Remember this may apply to multiple queries in any week.

 

Life is too short.

Like gaining a reputation for getting the job done (within the appropriate rules and regulations) and challenging nonsensical constraints imposed by poorly informed or over enthusiastic bureaucrats - like "conditions" on a S211 notice for example....

We're on first name terms with the girls in planning don't worry. As there's no TPOS or CAs online, let alone planning agreements, and their computers seem to run on about 8mb of RAM (10 minutes to load their search page), we have plenty of time to chat and get to know one another
