Ms Karla Piner:

I cannot tick that box to say I have planning permission. I cannot apply for planning permission because the national planning statement has not been published. Planning permission takes a long time so I do not know how the authorities seem to think we are going to have change of use and planning permission in place by 20 May. It is just not going to happen. There are tens of thousands of people who have to apply. It is not physically possible.
