Just over 7 days ago, I sent an email to the Development Control Department, of Bolsover District Council asking for - "an informal comment on planning, conservation & highways aspect, prior to submitting a full application"
And I am still waiting for an answer - good job I didn't ask them a difficult question!!
If you see a man like the one in our picture, can you direct him to 2 Castle Street - he might be that elusive Planning Officer!
Elsewhere in our quest to develop a new tourist attraction for Bolsover, and at the same time opportunities for small businesses to develop, things have moved on.
Tomorrow - Friday - a builder is coming to take a look at the project & then hopefully give us a quotation for the work, and on Saturday at 3pm, a local Councillor is visiting us to have a look at the buildings & hear about what we are proposing to do.
We are still awaiting the quotation from the roofing & building company who visited us last week, but I am sure that it will be dropping into the email inbox very soon.
So we wait for further progress, and some sort of indication whether Bolsover wants to see economic development or is happy to become the areas best kept secret.
More from the Blog, next week, unless we have news that requires us to produce a 'Special Edition'!!
