®Planning appeal decision
2 Trevithick Drive, Wouldham, Rochester, KENT, ME1 3TZ
described on the planning application form as “Retrospective Planning Permission. I apologise and did not realise I had to get planning permission to carry out this work. I spoke to my neighbour and got their permission to enclose my car port to use as a gym for my health reasons. This work has already been carried out and after contacting the planning division I am contacting you to hopefully prevent the change back because my car is still on the drive. I only have one car so will still be able to park on my driveway and not the road
