CLEARER REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION METHOD STATEMENTS NEEDED

Dear Dame,

RBK&C's Code of Construction Practice states that "planning applications that include significant construction work will usually be required to submit a CMS". 
We have recently had a case involving "significant construction work" (a demolition) in which the planning officer told us that no CMS was required as the application did not include a basement. 
Since the policy does not limit the requirement for a CMS to basement applications we believe the officer simply misinterpreted the text, but the wording could usefully be amended to clarify that it applies to all applications involving significant construction work, not just basements.

    1. Cheers for this info. Us Council tenants/leaseholders knew this would be the case, but we were not informed when the recruitment would start.

    2. Sneaky as ever, aren't they? I found it by chance.
      We are supposed to have the AGM in November as well? Where is the invitation letter? Are they going to send it a week before so that people might not have time to prepare?
