Submitting the Application for a Planning Permit


Plans are finalised, and on Thursday 9 May we go with Daniel to submit, and pay the fast track fee. The key issue is whether the Council decides that the application needs to be advertised, as this process can take weeks. We submit letters from Leigh and his mother, who owns his house, supporting our application.
We think we have all bases covered, but when we tell the planner that the rebuild of our wall also involves a small relocation, we are told that it may have to be advertised as it will affect 6 Finlay Street and 1A Little O'Grady Street. We point out that no 6 is Leigh who is already supporting the application, and that we own 1A Little O'Grady Street, but the planner still thinks it might not be able to be fast-tracked because of the wall re-alignment.
Frustrated, we dash home and draft four new letters, one from Leigh, one from his mother, one from us as owners of 1A Little O'Grady Street, and one from nephew Nick, our tenant in the house, as the occupier of 1A Little O'Grady Street.
