    Thanks all

    Im fairly certain the new application will be turned down anyway as many of the previous objections successfully made still stand, plus we will work every angle when it comes to planning and this tiny access road

    Sounds like the legal route for objecting to redevelopment of the dirt track may not work but some interesting points made here nevertheless thanks again

    You didn't like the suggestion that you should pay for legal advice, but you do need professional advice i.e. a planning consultant or similar. You are opposing a developer who will keep on pushing applications and the odds are that they will get one of these through. Other posters and myself have all seen this happen.

    You can't use the "wet tarmac" argument, as unlike concrete, "wet" tarmac can be driven on as soon as it has been rollered.

    Like I said, I think we have the planning aspect covered. I came on here for the legal implications (if any) of the access road being repurposed / resurfaced.

    The developer has used a Planning Consultant of their own and we have been fairly unimpressed with their work, so I'm not convinced such a consultant can do better than we can ourselves with Planning.
