So after all my negotiations, my options seem to be running out. The council are digging their heals in, and rather than letting me negotiate the ransom strip are just outright telling me that I am not allowed to do the sewer works on their land.
It's a nightmare, the people in the council, are just acting like complete job's worths. It doesn't surprise me that these people are so bitter towards people like myself who are trying to make something of themselves, as they are stuck in their dead end jobs with little passion or inspiration for anything, good luck to them I say, they are so pathetic in their little power trip jobs. One guy was particularly rude and a complete dick in my opinion. He was very unprofessional, but if you pay peanuts you get monkeys I suppose. Harking back to his sarcky comments about "why should I be driving round in a flash car if he has to drive round in an banger", well, if I ever get this project completed I might just buy one and send you a picture of me in it! That or I can send him a turd in the post, as someone hilariously suggested.
Anyway, back to the project. I've come up with a new set of plans, for a new pair of properties, only these are set away from any pipes! I spoke to the duty officer at the planning department, and he was very happy with the design overall, and he should be as it is so in offensive, but the only feature he didn't like, which ironically was the nicest feature of the property in my eyes, was a second floor bedroom, which has a beautiful full height, gable window. So after much deliberating I have removed it in favour of a single storey section to the rear of the property, to hopefully have a painless trip through planning, fingers crossed. So all I have to do now is the get a 3D visual done today, and get the thing submitted to planning quick sharp, and without further delay!
