Objection to Planning Application

[Wings]

Neighbour with local council authority connections, submitted in March 2016 a planning application to extend, increase the property’s student accommodation.

Myself together with other neighbours objected to the application.

In June 2016 the applicant submitted an amended application, since then the decision on the application has been “pending”.

With the applicant’s connections and contacts within the local council, I accept that the planning application has a good chance of obtaining planning approval.

Are there any further steps that an objector can take to pull the application up for further scrutiny examination etc., and for what possible reasons has the planning application been "pending" so long

Where in the southwest are you?

Bristol, although recently purchased a rental property near Looe.

I take my hat off to you for managing 300 student lets, owning/managing two student HMOs is more than enough for me.
