Thanks everyone,
I'm just writing my 'BS' letter to accompany my drawings. It's just one more requirement that the nerds have imposed - they know where I live, they know the intricacies of the planning requirements in this village and have even published guidelines on this specific village that details right down to details such as what trees are acceptable, which one's are protected, what walls should be made of, and so on. They already know what they want so any letter is sycophantic script in their own image. My previous applications on other houses, albeit 20 years ago, were all contained on one comprehensive drawing. Now its 4 separate drawings, - front, rear , upper and ground floor, with 5 sets of drawings ( £55 +tax to get the copies) Block plans from Ordinance Survey at £25 and a detailed letter that they already know anyway.
Total wankers.
