Maybe a phone call to the planning officer concerned may shed some light on what the current and possible future situation may be?

When the council recently consulted neighbours about a conversion in the road where I live of the 11 properties notified 6 do not exist. I draw residents attention to the application by merely reproducing without comment the summary on the council's website, the consequence was 11 responses all opposed.

Although a yellow notice had been put up, it was placed in an obscure place.
