Re: Re: “Local Need” Ambiguity in KE

I think you need to look at the content of the county development plan – most likely available online –

If its a replacement house it may be more favourably looked on but I think its a case of the documentation being sought now as it was not included with the original application. After all the planning dept. would not be able to grant permission in the absence of details that may be clearly set out in the development plan.

I’m a great believer in talking over issues like this with the planner concerned. Most times they are very approachable.

Hopefully it wont be too much to worry about
