Sue council for lack of planning enforcement?

The neighbour made a complaint to the council. The planning department sent an officer round and they said that if the situation didn't improve that there could be problems renewing their planning permission to run a business from home. I believe it has to be renewed periodically. The designated spaces were mediated by the planning official as acceptable.

Sorry but I disagree. Planning Permission is not required for a child-minder working from home. Do a quick google check and you will see what I mean.

The official has "mediated". Yep, he has tried to keep everyone happy. I doubt very much if he "theatened"

Until the Op returns with the wording of the terms of the "Planning Permission" we are all just guessing in the dark. Over to you OP.

As an aside to this whole debate, I think that child-minders do a sterling job. Councils generally encourage rather than stop them.

childminders are great dont get me wrong, but its a little more than just asking the council for a license and being given it with no risk assessment to the surroundings or internal building if the road was deamed as not suitable for the extra volume propesed or posed as a risk to surrounding residents etc etc etc, then the alternative rout will be her designated rout for customer access if this risk assessed as suitable access.

Thanks. Looks like good advice. What happens if there is a fire or an emergency (God forbid)?

oh wow now your taking it to extremes, ill inform you that a street in my main town has been gate blocked at one end and access from oneside only, council approved of it and were the brainchilds behind it.

they see no issue with fire entrance as they are informed of a closed one end and know to go to the entrance for the street.

I was referring to the entrance to the building being locked.

We live on a cul-de-sac too, which is oposite a senior school. The parents park down either side of the close, and across the pavements at the top, which makes it like an obsticle course, and really hard to see put onto the main road because of cars either side blocking the view. As far as I'm aware, there isn't any planning permission (as the school isn't on the close, but opposite), but, it's extremely annoying when inconsiderate t**ts are blocking your way out as they've parked parallel to each other on either sides of the street. :mad:

As far as I know, no damage has been done to any cars, but I can totally see where the OP is coming from. Hope you manage to get it sorted OP.

Personally, I'd probably just go straight to the council first, probably get results quicker than going straight to the business, who might not be bothered. I say this, because they know the rules and regs, but still choose not to tell the parents to go to the other entrance. They must know that it's not right.

I doubt that's what he meant.

He meant you lock the gate onto the street. Nobody will park if they can't get in through and entrance on that street being the theory.

then why has the post dissapeared well not dissapeared i quoted it but all the same why remove it if you were true to your word.

to the OP's original question NO they couldnt sue the council, what damages and out of pocket expenses have the council incurred them directly as a result of their negligance, nothing, if the cars are getting damaged by drivers using the wrong entrance or exit then that is negligance on the driver of the vehicle and they would have to go down the long expensive road of making a claim against the driver through insurers.

my reccommendation is to write a politely worded letter as to my first post.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I have not removed or amended any posts. You quoted my post No 20 which is still there, never having moved or "dissapeared".

Until the OP returns with details of the planning permission conditions
there is little further that can be advised or discussed.

Thank you for your apologies.

The OP is called "Nathan" and not a "she".
