Understand planning application documents, officer reports and decision notices. Use a reading checklist, document table and worked example to inspect a case.
Application overview
Rear driveway gates were fitted in May 2026. The gates are 2 metres in height but due to the rise in the unmade road the gates have been fitted higher to facilitate opening outwards ie to stop the bottom of the gates hitting the floor on opening. This has increased the overall height to 2.3 meters. This was not mentioned when I had the initial consultation with the gate fitter & only transpired when they had been fitted.
