He doesn't set or have any concept of PP. Don't delude yourself your dealing with the boss. You're not.
And please don't call me a fool. I've far more education on the matter than you. Evidenced by the fact you're in a predicament, whereas i am not.
The Op would be in a far greater predicament if they didn't consider how they should address the issue.
PP is a process, but it is best to try to understand that process and how it works by educating yourself on the nuances of it rather than just sitting back and watching it pan out.
There is precedent for semis being turned into end terraces by PP, and case law and precedent can be taken account of. Equally, loss of property value is not a valid reason for refusal of consent. The OP needs to be ahead of the game with knowledge of such issues and anyone who wouldn't do likewise is indeed very foolish.0 -

People on here will all have their own opinions about you, even if they don't express them.
It seems pretty obvious to me that your education didn't extend to reasonableness or empathy. You probably don't have house insurance either, given that it burning down is only a hypothetical situation that it is unlikely to happen and the fire hasn't started yet.0 -

Funnily enough your assumptions on all fronts are inaccurate.
I work in customer service. Not the fluffy bunny type you get at Tesco, the sort where i know my 5h1t and legalities.
You may not like my comments but do not question my veracity.0 -

They're hardly likely to apply for PP before they have a contract with the neighbours.0 -

Which they don't.
Ergo, it's something , maybe, might happen.
As unpopular as it might make me you can only deal with matters within your control. To suggest otherwise is both naive and disingenuous.0 -

That'll probably be because of the massive dementia home next door.0
