So from the planning officer's POV, ownership of land is irrelevant. All

If this is true, and I am not disputing it, why has a chap I know had
his planning permission refused three times by Stretford because of
possible encroachment onto his neighbours land? Finally he had to get a
boundary surveyor in to mark the boundaries.
