Why are the North Devon planning office so stupid at times? I know they’re massively overworked, but why put a planning site notice so far away from the site in question (the little garage on New Road just before the road to Sainsbury’s) when there’s a perfectly good place to put it very much closer? It’s also unsafe to read because it’s pinned on the telegraph pole so that it can only be read if standing in the road!

The planning site notice is the big white bit of paper on the left flapping in the breeze. This also begs the question Why are there two poles so close to together?

And no, it’s not for a house but for rebuilding the garage and turning it into a shed.
