Leisure Moorings allow 1 week stay a year!?

......responding to planning issue in general, it is largely a box-ticking exercise.

Fill in the form correctly, and it goes through the system smoothly - to get  an 'approval' or not.

If the form is not filled in correctly - it gets bounced back - rejected with queries - so you start again.

If filled in correctly - it generates enquiries  - all of which have to be answered - plus additional questions raised by 'statutory consultees' - usually of a complex nature that needs expensive experts to advise.

If the CRT application was ticked 'wrong', or not at all, it would have been picked up by the planning officer, and of material significance would delay the official start date of the application - which is the date used for the decision deadline that is all important to the council (it easy to say no to a 'wrong' form to get an extension of time).  

That is when the public become formally involved - when the application gets published.

As an aside to the residential mooring limit, but of interest, the adjacent Bradley Green cottage was sold at auction in 1986 (advised at £40k but went for £53k) - The farmhouse has been modernised and extended over the years and appeared on the market again in 2012 for sale at £1.15m - I assume it sold.

This is largely true, with a couple of provisos.  Don't assume that a Planning Officer will always pick up an incorrectly filled in form.  Human error happens (probably quite regularly).  Having said that, if a form is found to be filled in wrong, then yes, it will not be validated until resubmitted correctly, irrespective of what that does to the deadline.  It's usually very easy to get a deadline extended with the agreement of the applicant anyway, but it's not really in the interests of the officer or the Council, since all that happens is that loads of applications get deferred and then a heap of deadlines all come at once.  Not good at all.  Without exception, the only times I ask for an extension of time is because the applicant is dragging their feet over providing information.
