Can I put my Dinosaurs on wheels?

[skilly1]

I am building an adventure golf course. I have been given planning permission and in the planning submission doc it does say there will be a theme , features and a series of structures but the offer is also in the document to approve the materials and details.

I submitted more details drawing, and the council don't like my dinosaur theme as it goes beyond the spirt of the planning permission.

Can I put the dinosaurs on wheels, therefore negating the need to get permission for them, as they will be a movable structure ?!

I know I can re-submit planning, go to appeal etc, but I have to get this open for end of March and time is against me. Dinosaurs take 2 months to arrive from China...

I'm no archeologist, but I'm pretty sure Dinosaurs didn't have wheels.

But strange of the council to allow the initial permission but then not allow certain fixtures which sound like it sould be of great appeal.

How big are these dinosaurs?

Change the theme if that;s what is objected to?

There are 3 different crazy golf places, 5 courses, near me and they're all dinosaur themed.

So many other options. Pirates, Medieval, funfair, general history, space......... Dinosaur as a theme is so pre-stone age.

Other than that good luck with your venture.

One is quite big - 10m long by 5m high, but most are 2m high by 1m. I am happy to reduce the size of the big ones if needed. Do you need planning to put a 2m high ornament in place?

I could change the theme, I am in talks with the council, but Dinosaur has been planned for a while, it takes quite a lot of thinking about to get the design and feel right. Plus kids love Dinosaurs, I have Dino burger resturant idea to put in later in an existing building.

If dinosaurs HAD invented the wheel, would the course of history been completely different. Discuss.

This should be self evident from the OP's comment that they would take 2 months to get here from China. Clearly, they would be much quicker than that, if they had wheels.


Being, however, that we now know that dinosaurs actually had feathers and were simply the ancestors of modern-day birds, the Woolley Chickens case is clearly applicable, in terms of Planning law.

What about smaller dinosaurs - like in a 'Honey I shrunk the Dinosaurs' kind of theme?

[Scrump]

Change the theme to "Council", how could they object to that?

Depending upon location but TBF 5m high is a bit monsterous

(deliberate spelling)

I don't think putting them on wheels would help? Unless you kept them in a shed an only wheeled them out for 28 days/year making them temporary structures.

Dad of 2 under five boys, they have plenty of dinosaurs with wheels.

Why change from Dinosaur to fish?

That was disappointing; I expected 'woolly chicken' to be a euphemism for ostrich or buffalo etc, used as a way round planning law... not chickens owned by a Mr Woolley...
