So, I live in a village with a castle.
You need a declaration préalable to buy a different colour of toilet paper round here.
I wanted to paint the horrible brown shutters and front door. Lady from urbansime said "ooh yes, that will be nicer. Lady from Urbanisme gave me the official list of RAL colours we were allowed. We picked closest to what we want and go and have a meeting with the man from the ABF. He goes through everything and says it's all fine. We submit the application. Man from ABF says "No."
What the f
k?
We can contest, and that will be another 6 month wait for another blanket refusal for no reason.
Next place I buy a house I am going to do whatever I want to the house and I am not going to ask permission for anything. I've learned my lesson.
