It’s been now more than three months, since I wrote about our planning permission. I have been on the phone with the guy, working on this on our behalf, every single week. He was waiting for more documents to be returned to him from various offices that we need to supply to the City Council. Together we needed about 10 more different verdicts and expertises on top of those we already have.
The bureaucracy in the whole planning process is unbelievable. Offices blaming each other for incomplete paperwork that has to be corrected before they can issue their statements, turnaround of almost every application at the latest possible day, loss of documents and more. These are just few of the troubles and stressful situations to deal with, while applying for the planning permission.
Today, I have finally heard some good news. We should have all the necessary documentation finally together, and the whole planning process should be started again on Monday, when all documentation will be supplied to the City Council. If everything go smooth, we could have the planning permission in two months.
