What passes for “rich” these days anyway? If you’ve got enough, or more, money than you need but you wish you had more time does that make you rich or poor? You can’t change money for time so what use is it so long as you’ve got food and shelter? The old boy knew his onions:

I’m ‘rich’ in life, love and happiness Andrew 🏋️

None necessary, been called worse.... And you can do one monkey boy.

Put it in “what 3 words” I think it comes out as South East Cornwall!

Always thought of it as a made up event so that posh twats that are a little bit good at several disciplines, but entirely mediocre in any single one, have something to do rather than being left out completely. I mean, if you can ride, shoot, fence and swim at even as low as a county level, and you can just about hold your own in the other elements, you’re just about guaranteed a punt at the UK team simply on the basis that East Ham comprehensive school probably doesn’t have fencing and rifle shooting on the syllabus (if it were opened up to stabbing with a shank and popping a cap in ur ass with a moody shooter.....) Well then you might see a more diverse selection pool 😂

I can feel myself getting drawn in when I know I should resist...... 😞 Whole thing bears very little interest for me. The BMX story just about piqued an interest though - having been refused funding by what ever nameless QUANGO allocates funding to potential competitors, girl set up a gofundme page, raised her own cash and was first UK female gold medal winner - class act and with elements of ‘cool running’ back story. 👍🏻

I’m SE Cornwall and can often find tasks that would suit if you fancy a schlepp down this far 👍🏻

I see you’re in!

On the one hand, there is a long and well recognised route of incremental additions and supplements that are recognised as a potential path to eventually claiming lawfulness or residential rights within areas (particularly woodlands) which would otherwise never be granted planning consent.... But on the other, (some) town, parish and district councils have a well earned reputation for being complete asses. Entering into an appeals battle with people that are not spending their own money is futile and playing by their rules. There are much more entertaining, enjoyable and fulfilling means of taking your fight to the enemy 😎

Offer to send them samples of output from the compost loo and comparable samples that have not benefitted from composting and ask them which they’d prefer. Make sure to send samples to PC as well.

Or after for that matter. It only gets a bit sketchy if you start changing the situation after approval - unless in accordance with the submitted plans.

I'd suggest the 'planning process' in the context as quoted - the part where the LPA gets involved - starts when the application is submitted and the obligation under s197 rests squarely with the LPA - not the applicant. Does the arb agent owe a duty of professional obligation to the LPA or to the client? (rhetorical obvs)

Given your login name, its possible that your dendrophilia (n. a paraphilia characterised by sexual attraction to trees. The person may have actual sexual contact with trees, may venerate them as phallic symbols, or both. Also called dendrophily) may exceed your chrematism. Either way, it sounds like you've got bigger issues than client behaviour 😯

I’m just back from doing a quick job at a ‘blow-ins’ new house. He said exactly the same. Sold his swanky Cotswolds des-res with a punishing mortgage and downsized to a reasonably tidy cash bought 2 bedroom bungalow with enough money left in the bank to retire in comfort and have us build him a garden workshop so that he can tinker with his retirement hobby of custom fit rifle stocks. Nobody gotta sell to anyone they don’t want to....

If you are on FB might be worth looking this one up ⬇️ +/- 250 tree folk - bound to be someone nearby that’ll give you a run out.

American grasp on contemporary world history.... And they wonder how they ended up with an orange blimp as POTUS 😂

Anne..... Benny...... Frank & Benny..... Anne Frank! That’s a quality retrieval cue - I bet his Frank & Benny’s loyalty card is maxed 😂

Really appreciate the response, can't reply in detail for the time being but will come back to this when appropriate. 👍🏻

Brexit? And as for your Bloody Eucalyptus- coming over ‘ere taking all our growing conditions 🤯

Every year I convince myself it’ll be a glorious Indian Summer (am I even allowed to say that anymore?) Might just be right this year 😂😂

Cornwall is pretty good! You can link right back to source documents - but only after they have been confirmed, not it would seem in the space between provisional and confirmation.

No - edit - the no was in respect of information being available whilst the TPO is pre-confirmation. Cornwall is good for online data access - but only AFTER the TPO has been made, not during. Plymuff city council, not so good with the level of detail available and had to be reminded that they should make orders available for inspection FOC on request after they'd advised that £40 fee was payable. I did get in to a bit of hot water with the librarian for photographing 1 particular order that I'd asked to see but librarians don't scare me (too much.) I should probably, and can now, expand a little bit on the reason for the original question. Person A bought plot of land B at auction by bidding once beyond that which the group of 6 houses (group C) adjoining the land had come together to buy plot B. Group C then approached person A (after they found out who it was) to see if he would sell them plot B because it was adjoining their houses. Person A said no. Group C informed LA that there was a risk of the plot being cleared so LA initiated a provisional woodland TPO. Person A wanted to see the supporting documentation in relation to TPO and found it wasn't readily available online. Then began a somewhat time consuming, unnecessary and tedious chain of events resulting in numerous to and from emails taking up lots of LA and land owner time - perhaps unnecessarily. It was interesting reading the entries in Mynors in relation to objections / representations - any person may object (also support) but how would they know if not posted online? Also the potential 'fragility' of a LPA presenting AND deciding upon its own procedure which may present potential criticism for 'rubber-stamping' and lip service to objections. Whacking it all up online might be a means to 'open' the whole process up a bit? It's a bit like the discussion over cm/mm in that other thread, we know what is stated as 'should' happen, we sometimes think there 'might' be a better way and we 'often' seem to be stifled by an apparent lack of enthusiasm to consider (what appears to be) better ways of working because "...the computer says no..."

Agree first part Jules, not so much the second part. In a similar fashion to any planning app, a yellow notice or details of the app are posted at the site and forwarded to ‘all interested parties.’ Interested parties would be the land owner, adjacent or otherwise interested parties - town council for example. If it’s not allocated a PA number and posted publicly at the planning portal, how are interested parties supposed to express their ‘interest’ - comments of support / objection / neutrality? To my way of thinking - a Works to trees subject to TPO and s211 notice are allocated PA numbers, presented at planning page with a reference number and are open to public comment in exactly the same way as any other planning app for construction. I can’t find any reference in the regs that states that it must be but it seems illogical for it not to be. Example - a town / parish council populate their planning committee agenda from the weekly / monthly list of applications. If a new (provisional) TPO is not registered in the same way as any other, how are town and parish councils to know - and the general public for that matter? Its not a situation I’ve encountered previously and the question has been posed to the planning officer who is noted in the cover letter as lead for it. Im guessing TO raises the paperwork and presents the case in favour, if it gets the nod from legal it then goes to the PO for delegated decision (subject to public submissions.) So I see it as a planning function which ought to be on the planning register. Awaiting response from PO so will update once known. Is there anyone in the TO fraternity that could offer some thoughts / previous process experience??

So, LA raises a new provisional TPO, posts a notice at the site and writes to ‘interested parties’ to inform them - but it doesn’t appear at the planning page with a PA number so that all public can view / comment / observe progress. Should a new TPO usually be posted to an LA’s planning page with an application number in the same manner as a planning application, TPO app or s211 notice would? Any thoughts??
