Wedding venue help needed - Breach of contract?

Sounds like a planning issue - check on the councils planning website, to see if they have an application and when it is going to be ruled on.

Nothing on the council planning site - what does this mean?

What the venue have said is "[FONT=&quot]We have so far had issues with the council and meeting their requirements in regards to materials" [/FONT]- would the council have advance requirements before they could even submit planning?

I would ring the local council planning dept, and ask your questions direct about the planning permission, and see what the answers are.

Good luck for your wedding

In that case I would suspect they have been told that whatever they were planning doesn't meet the legal requirements to be licensed. It has to be permanent with a roof and floor...some places try and licence pergolas or other garden features and then find out they can't.

I'm not 100% sure you have a watertight case here. The contract says outdoor/cons. There isn't anything that really says that they've promised it's outdoors. They could easily argue the agreement was outdoors or the conservatory and since the cons is still available then they're able to fulfill the contract.

But we come back to the original point. What do you want out of this? Because if the issue is the council they being honest the council won't give two hoots about your wedding and they will stick to their planning regs so help them God.

The point is that despite the hotel's best efforts they may simply cannot get the outdoor structure completed and licensed in time in which case what do you want to do?

Cancel or compensation?
