Planning and conservation officer

Just because his comments are not there - maybe he will wait until nearer the closing date next week.

Just speak to the planning case officer and they will tell you if there are any comments that you might be able to address, what's the nature of your proposals?

If the OP has an agent then get the agent to address the objection.

I would like some advice please. I am currently applying for planning permission next to an old house. The conservation officer is objecting. How much notice will the planning department take?

Bear in mind that the Conservation Officer usually is a Planning Officer working in the planning department. They just don't (normally) deal with planning application case work other than as consultees. From that you can surmise the planning department will attach considerable weight to the Conservation Officer's views.

Doozergirl's advice is spot on. If you want to proceed with your plans you need to see both the Conservation Officer and Planning Officer dealing with your case as friends rather than enemies. Appealing a refusal on conservation grounds would be a real lottery, much easier to find out what you need to do to get approval.
