I did have plans for those fields, however, after being conned by a career fraudster, and lost all my money, my plans have been seriously delayed and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces.

    I'm hoping to apply for planning permission to keep some of the infrastructure, like drainage, power, entrance etc. but no idea if I'll get it. Seems so wasteful to have it all dug up again. I guess I'd have to figure out what to do with the stacked top-soil though?

    No idea. All I know is that they are waiting for the DCO but not sure what my position would be after they get it?

    I've Google'd their names and all official documentation refers to them. An example is from the Planning Inspectorate. It is definitely legit which is why it's all the more worrying!
