Are these declarations available in the public domain.If so do you know where thay can be found?
(I guess this is a question for ctesiphon..!)PDA 2000- IV/57/8/a-b:
(8) A planning authority shall cause—
(a) the details of any declaration issued by that authority under this section to be entered on the register kept by the authority under section 7 [i.e. The Planning Register], and
(b) a copy of the declaration to be made available for inspection by members of the public during office hours, at the office of the authority, following the issue of the declaration.
Lotts-
This is it in theory, but the practice (as so often) is somewhat different. My thesis is looking at the ways that local authorities deal with Declarations in practice, given the lack of funds, sufficiently skilled people, time, etc.So, yes, they are in the public domain; and they should be retrievable from the planning counter in the relevant local authority office.
Just to clarify on a comment I made earlier – it could be construed that the conservation officer mentioned before was in some way unhelpful by my saying they never telephoned back after leaving a message with someone else. Though I did not recieve a call, it was clearly an office error, as subsequent dealings with the said person have proved them to be most helpful, accommodating and courteous.
Rather it was aimed at the civil service stereotype – ‘compu’er says nooo’ as it were 😀
Think it appropriate to clear up.
