local council question

[mickk]

If the ts on my local planning commitee decide to move a bus-stop right next door to my house, or more worrying my garage, is there anything i can do about it? I have sent a letter of complaint, but they seem to be going ahead anyway.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Offer an alternative? Can it go anywhere nearby where it wouldn't be outside someone's house?

Or ask them if they have any evidence that a bustop is needed/wanted. Is it in response to passenger demand, or just a trendy pro-bus whim?

Thanks for the response, there saying its for the local ankle biters, which is fair enough. Im just
concerned about noise issues, and if it will lower the price of the house, sounds a bit selfish i know.

You can also post objections on the basis of access to your business; dangers relating to road safety, ie. safely accessing the public highway from your premises owing to increased traffic (that includes foot traffic as well as motor vehicles); any other issues that people/stopped traffic might bring.

Get your objections in. Get other businesses and neighbours who would also object to write in too.

I would get it moved if i you possibly can!
Ignoring the noise of a bus stopping and starting right outside...I wouldn't want the council to provide a reason for 'undesirables' to loiter around my house at night.

Buy a bus.

If we are talking about Planning as in the Town and Country Planning Act, then they should have posted notices advising you when the application was made. You had a right to comment or object on the proposals at that stage.

If you didn't, and Planning permission has been granted, then unless there is a very good reason why the proposal is against he public interest, or unless there has been a blatant breach of legal procedures, then there probably isn't a whole lot you can do about it.

Assuming its taxed, MOTd etc, can ANY bus just park in the bus stop?
