Unfortunately, none of the above. The rules are made by bureaucrats at
national level, and implemented by bureaucrats at local level.

John - if you haven't got hold of the RSGB Planning booklet, get it NOW!
There are several pitfalls in this process, so talk to an expert and get
detailed advice before you set foot back inside that planning office.

I am not one of those experts, just one of their "satisfied customers".
Being just about to go through the whole thing again in a different
location, I will definitely be following my own advice!
