All gets a bit ridiculous doesn't it. One of our neighbours was denied permission to change a window back into the door that it once was and to close a passage that would reunite a section of the building that was united in the past. In the end he won an appeal, who knows at what cost, which allowed him to restore the configuration of the building to its original plan.

All this bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy just gives employment to a bunch of people who probably got their jobs because of who they know, not what they know.

In the mean time buildings fall to pieces because no-one wants to undertake the job of restoring them.

I'm not saying that there should not be some controls but when multiple authorities have to be consulted and decisions made by people who want to avoid responsibility it becomes impossible.
