Fraudulent planning permission?

Freecall

To me, given the size of the extension and your description of the process, this sounds likely to have been a neighbour consultation scheme rather than a full Planning Application. Not that it changes the issue relating to deception.

You really need to speak with the planning office in order to fully understand the situation.

Also, bear in mind that some LPA's remove letters from private individuals from their websites after a decision has been made. They are still public domain and you can see any of the documents if you wish but you may have to go to the office to do so.

With that - I would be out to make it plain to the Council that they darn well WOULD retract any planning permission - or else I'd be trying to land them in it for negligence. If that didn't work - then I would indeed land them in it for negligence.

I would rate the odds as at least 50/50 in my favour that I could be convincing enough to that negligent Council that they would indeed be in deep do-do if they didn't "bend things a little" and retract that planning permission they should never have given.

Firstly, the council may not have been negligent, the e-mail withdrawing the objection may have appeared to be genuine.

Secondly and more importantly, the objection(s) may not have been of sufficient relevance to prevent pp being granted.

OP, I would be very, very cautious of accusing any council member or committee of malpractice or negligence unless you are 100% certain of all the facts. This does not mean that the matter is not worthy of further investigation, but both central and local government know enough to protect their own backsides.
