Dear Sir/Madam

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990
REGISTRATION OF APPLICATION 

Application No:	10/01115/AGN	
Applicant’s Name:	Mr Steven Hopkins	
Proposal:	Agricultural Store	
Location:	Austin Grounds Farm Hook Norton Road Sibford Ferris	
Parish(es):	Sibford Ferris		 	

Thank you for your application which was received on 19.07.2010.

I have examined your application to see whether the information and plans meet the necessary statutory requirements and regret to inform you that I am unable to register and process your application for the reasons set out overleaf.  Until these matters have been satisfactorily resolved, your application cannot be formally registered and will be held in abeyance.

The eight week period within which the District Council is required to determine the application cannot commence until your application has been registered.  You will appreciate, therefore, the importance of dealing with the outstanding matters and providing the required information as soon as possible.

Please note due to changes in application procedures if the details required to register the application are not received by 11.08.2010 (21 days from the date of this letter) the application documents will be returned to you unregistered. You will then be required to resubmit a new application if you wish to pursue the proposal.

If you have any queries regarding the application, please contact Tracey Whitfield on the above number, quoting the application reference number.

Yours faithfully
J Bridgwater
Head of Development Control
And Major Developments

Application No:	10/01115/AGN
Applicant’s Name:	Mr Steven Hopkins

Reasons why application cannot be registered:

(NB Notes refer to those on the planning application form cover)

  1	Please supply 4 copies of proposed scaled floor plan drawings; drawn at a scale of either 1:50 or 1:100.

  2	Please provide 4 proposed elevation details, in the form of scaled drawings drawn at a scale of either 1:50 or 1:100. The drawings should show how the proposal will look against the existing building; manufacturer's brochure details are fine as supporting information, but cannot be accepted as proposed elevation drawings unless they show how the proposal will look against what is already there.

  3	Please provide a Planning Statement to support your application.

A planning statement provides an opportunity for an applicant to present the general planning case for the proposal. It identifies the context and need for a proposed development and includes an assessment of how the proposed development accords with relevant national, regional and local planning policies. It may also include details of consultations with the local planning authority and wider community/statutory consultees undertaken prior to submission. However, a separate statement on community involvement may also be appropriate.

As soon as I have received the above I will be in a position to register the application.
