So from the planning officer's POV, ownership of land is irrelevant. All
they are required to do is look at the *planning* (ie public interest)
aspects of the building.

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.


Was the adjoining owner a councillor by any chance?
