Planning timetable

It's tempting fate to write this, but given how long we've taken to get this far it feels good to be able to put some definite dates on things. So:

1. This Thursday, 19th April we will be submitting our planning notice to the local paper.
2. On Wednesday 25th it will be published, and on the same day the site notice can go up in front of the house. By then the plans should be finalised so that...
3. On Thursday 26th our planning application will be lodged with the Council. We have up to two weeks (to 10th May) to do this, but there should be no reason not to do it straight away.
4. The expiry date for objections will then be 31st May, and
5. By (and probably on) 21st June we will have our planning decision.

By the end of this process we hope to have everything ready to go for building to commence immediately. We will have the plans certified for building regulation compliance, a specification drawn up, a project manager appointed and tenders issued to contractors.

What could possibly go wrong?
