| 15-Nov-13 MD to Planning |
In her last e-mail, Chris Matten enclosed an amended drawing no 12. . . I have noticed that this plan has been removed from the planning portal within a matter of days after my comment. While I am gratified to see my concerns being responded to, I am equally concerned as to why the amended drawings to the original plans, Planning Application ST/0966/12/FUL, Nos. 00 and 000 have not appeared on the planning portal. These are the only drawings showing a fence to our side of the patio, a condition of the Committee’s approval. |

Retrospective application for construction of parapet walls around the first floor patio above the ground floor rear extension and the flat roof above the two storey extension and installation of roof level solar panels |
| 5-Dec-13 ..HFUL GA to JM |
Retrospective application for construction of parapet walls around the first floor patio above the ground floor rear extension and the flat roof above the two storey extension and installation of roof level solar panels.For the avoidance of doubt this decision relates to the following plans and/or specifications: Drg No. 17 (amended) received 17/09/2013 *1 Drg No. 000 (amended) received 17/09/2013 *2 Drg No. 00 (amended) received 17/09/2013 *3 Drg No. 12 received 22/10/2013 *4 |
Conclusion. Mr Haig was saved considerable extra expense and the fact that his extension had been built without planning permission remained hidden, as does the planning officers’ total disregard of the guidance given in SPD9. The first was hidden with the connivance of the architect Dr J Martin and the second was hidden by the misuse of the complaints procedure by South Tyneside Council.
*1 – drawing 17 was not published.
*2 – drawing 000 (amended without the fence) which was meant for ../FUL is now attached to ../HFUL.
*3 – drawing 00 (amended) was not published and a copy of the original 00 has never been seen.
*4 – drawing 12 introduces the solar panels three months after the Council had accepted application ST/0749/13/FUL from Mr Haig.
