Recently I have been involved in discussions with the local planning authority about a new building at our school. It has been my first direct involvement in a planning application and all that this entails.
To be honest, the whole process has been far more time-consuming and stressful than I had anticipated. I remember sitting in a meeting when planning was first discussed and assuming that it would just "happen" and that we would get our consent in plenty of time.
A few weeks passed before I happened to enquire about the status of the planning application. As I understood the process, the planning authority's consultation would now have been completed and so consent should be forthcoming very shortly.
