My rant of the day is that it so annoys me when one has to jump through hoops to satisfy some pointless request. In my instance I want to replace 2 external doors, both seen better days, with modern equivalents in keeping with property. Our listed building officer is happy with design, construction and colour of doors. You would think that enough but no as is listed building one still has to do a formal application, at least it is free.
So I do as requested too easy to expect it to be smooth. My location plan is too large need reducing, Which doors am I replacing I would have though east and west aspects with accompanying photos enough but no will have to spoon feed them more details. Supply a 1:50 or 1:100 drawing of new doors, sorry no have sent photos and as dimensions are same as doors to be replaced let that be enough.
Finally they ask
Please amend the design, access and heritage statement - this should cover what you are doing and why and the history of the site/property (what makes it special).
Thought I had already told them what and why. Have given them the link to my listed building on English Heritage let them decide what is special , I never listed it.
Rant over.
