Had an issue to do with county council with regard to drainage and watercourse.
Local complained and council rang me wanting to visit site (rang last Monday, site visit Tuesday morning).
I asked if they had right of access to site,
Official said yes.
NFU call first said they do with a warrant not without but don't be seen to obstruct an official.
At site I asked for warrant, they didn't have one so said they wouldn't be prevented from entering site but it would be noted that they didn't have a warrant.
Site is next to public road so they had a good view, we chatted politely and they would go away to think about it (see if they could think of a way of doing me)
As they left I asked if the land was under any restriction pending their enquiries, no she said we will let youknow today or within the next few days.
They haven't, it is 10 days since the site visit.
I don't really want to ring her as I get uppity sometimes and don't want to provoke the situation at all as I get lots of hassle with the piece of land in question and don't want to make it worse.
What to do? Just wait?
