Well a planning application has been submitted to replace a flat roof to pitched on the Old School House, so looks like somebody might be buying it. Apart from the fact it doesn't appear to have any parking it looks a sizable house. Which leaves the other two properties, the Library and Victorian Institute to be sold, when that will be remains to be seen.
Trouble with planning applications, it can sometimes get planning officers away from their desks, which means they sometimes come across things they aren't meant to see or find out about, as somebody in Misterton has recently discovered. Tucked out of the way down lanes, it's amazing what you can do without planning permission, even to the point in one case (very old) that when they eventually notice, there is little they can do about it, apart from issue a council tax bill. Bad job really, you mind your own business on your own property and somebody comes poking their nose in.
The application for Fox Covert is still pending and might have been passed if somebody hadn't poked their nose in, again where it wasn't wanted and totally uncalled for given the circumstances.
Little going on really, still no actual movement on the railway bridges although one road is being closed early November so they must be making a start soon. I understand the old canal bridge on Station Road has cracks in it, which is no wonder when you consider what goes over it, when they can't get under the railway bridge. Some turn round, some can't be bothered and given the narrow road down there it would be easier to turn round.
