You have got it exactly correct. However having worked for a short time
as a planning enforcement officer my experience is that if at all
possible i.e. its not to far away, call into your local planning office
and ask to speak to a person with responsibility for your particular
area ( most offices are split into several geographical areas). This
way you know with some degree of certainty you have at least submitted
the forms correctly which is half the battle. I would also suggest you
tell the planner how wonderfull they are, it usually works!.
