I agree. I think it would be benficial if I posted a copy of the blue book, it would open the discussion up.

BIG A..Thats how it should be in the ideal world. If the guy had phoned the TO he would have found out the the developer and planning dept were at logger heads. The Planners were just waiting for any excuse and jumped at the first chance, He just got caught up and it was a very poor case that I tried to walk away from.

 

 

I also know of a case were a TO removed documents from the LPA TPO file to cover his back. Luckily I had a tip off from a planning officer and copied the whole file first and saved a contractor £000's in fines. At the end of the day....Trust no one and if you pay them and their wrong, sue them. I'm sure most are in this job because they have a love and respect for trees, but when it comes to someones job and family on the line, things can and do get dirty.
