Dangerous Dave Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 If you had an On-line mooring from C&RT, you would be liable for full Council tax.Not necessarily - possibly Share a marina with several others, with the marina operater able to relocate, your mooring at will, you would not be liable for Council Tax. Have I got that right? Yes Bod Anyone with the balls to take on a local authority, as the court case that someone did and proofed a precedent for all would see the way.

Alan de Enfield Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It takes some effort and time to take on the LA I had a problem with a planning application (well they told me I needed Planning Permission, I told them I didnt) in the end after going thru, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 complaints proceedure, & meetings with the Chief Executive, I ended up involving the Governments own Planning Advisor, our local MP and a Queens Council, I was (of course) proven correct and had a reasonable amount of compensation for being given incorrect information and to cover the costs I had incurred. - in fact the MP wrote to the Chief Executive of the LA fairly early in the proceedings and told him as "I was in the right just pay up, and send a letter of apology" but they insisted on persuing it in the hope I would give-up.

Good for you. There would appear to have been a decline in the ethics of local authorities to mirror the decline in ethics seen in large companies like banks and telecomms companies.

It could be said that there were expectations in the begining to those that were involved in the in & outs of the marina.Where as others are merely so ignorant of the situation or just plainly couldn't care less it seems.

You may guess from this what she does for a living....... Part of the settlement was that I signed a non-disclosure agreement to avoid it getting into the press that the local Planning Officer, The Planning Department Manager, or his Manager did not know the relevant Planning law and refused to even check when the relevant sections were pointed out to them. Send me a PM with which LA you are 'with' and I'll try to give you an overview of the 'case' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
