Malt 379 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'd have thought it would be all down to your local planning authority, so it might vary from place to place. Your best bet would be to phone your local council and ask to be put through to the planning department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
