Herefordshire cabin used to cook snails approved for holiday let conversion
Fownhope Parish Council said the property was both outside the settlement boundary and within the boundary of the Wye Valley National Landscape, and also "highly visible" from the village.Herefordshire Council planning officer Joshua Evans concluded that "small-scale holiday accommodation and the associated cooking cabin" were in line with local and national planning policy.There would be "no significant harm to landscape character, residential amenity or protected views", the officer added.A condition with the approval prevents its future use as a home, as well as restricting lighting and noise.Mr Fishbourne previously said that getting permission to diversify a rural business "can be an uphill battle". His business of supplying top-end restaurants will continue, as the snail cooking operation is being relocated to an already permitted hay store at the site.

Plan for major logistics centre near Banbury dismissed
A plan for a major logistics centre that developers said would have brought about 1,900 full-time jobs has been rejected by a planning CB saw the application dismissed by Cherwell District Council in March 2024 for about 65 acres (26.3 hectares) of land south of Huscote Farm, in Daventry Road, appeal for outline planning permission, to develop up to 140,000 sq m of agricultural land with 10 new buildings, east of junction 11 of the M40, was dismissed by inspector Patrick 260 people had opposed the plan going ahead when the council rejected it last year. Mr Hanna found the economic impact would have been "substantial" but dismissed the application last week following a planning inquiry in February. The developers said the centre would have been served by a three-arm roundabout junction off the District Council had wanted to use the land as an employment site 10 years ago but that decision was reversed because of concerns about its landscape and road networks.

Parking permit mix-up cost £110 and then £150 in fines
My husband and I have annually auto-renewed our two council parking permits, one for each vehicle, for three years. This April, as usual, our payment of £110 for both was debited, but a month later we were informed that the permits had been cancelled. Cardiff council told us that when we initially applied for the permits in 2022 we supplied incomplete documentation and that the mistake had only just come to light. Apparently, applications are automatically approved without supporting documents being checked. The council relies on random spot checks to identify any problems, and gives residents 14 days to supply whatever was missing. Anyone who misses the deadline has their permit cancelled without a refund. We've been told we will have to reapply for the permits and pay again. We later found the email informing us in our spam folder. I have hit a brick wall trying to speak to the council. In the meantime, we have received three tickets, totalling £150, for parking on our road. NT, Cardiff Your experience is bizarre on so many levels: the apparent failure to check applications; the assumption that permit holders, who may be on holiday or in hospital, will be in a position to spot and act on a single email within a fortnight, or else lose their permit, and their money; and the fact that they must shell out for a second time to make good oversights that should have been detected at the application stage. I put all these questions to the council but it only answered the one about the document-checking policy. Incredible as it may seem, it does, indeed, rely on applicants to confirm they meet the eligibility criteria for a permit rather than scrutinising the evidence itself. Its terms and conditions state that it reserves the right to request further documents at any time to verify validity. 'Any time' in your case meant three years. The council tells me that when a 'review' found that you had not submitted proof that your vehicles were linked to your address, and you did not provide it within 14 days of the email – which you did not see – it cancelled the permit to 'ensure the integrity of the application process'. This did not prevent the council sending PCNs to your address obtained via the registration plates from the DVLA database. It has now reinstated your permits, at no extra charge, and cancelled the three PCNs, but it appears to remain wedded to the system.

Sam Faiers' mother-in-law Gaynor Knightley shares family holiday snaps without her - amid claims Paul is 'dragging his feet' over proposing
Sam Faiers' mother-in-law Gaynor Knightley has shared some 'family' snaps from their holiday to Mallorca but failed to include any photos of Sam. The doting grandmother gushed over her son and three grandchildren in an Instagram post which she captioned: 'My beautiful family'. However despite Sam being on the trip with them, she did not feature in either photo posted by Gaynor this week. Sam's absence in the social media post comes amid reports that her long-term partner is 'dragging his feet' over proposing. In the photos, Sam's partner Paul posed proudly beside his mother, who looked glam in a black blouse and camel trousers. A second photograph showed them with their arms around Sam and Paul's three children, Paul, nine, Rosie, seven, and Edward, three. One fan wrote in the comment section: 'Such a shame Sam isn't in the photo'. Sam has shared her own sweet updates from the trip, including a snap of herself and Gaynor enjoying a cocktail together over lunch. Sam and her real estate developer beau have been together since 2014. In the years since meeting her partner, Sam has become somewhat of a business magnate and it is thought she is worth around £9million thanks to her businesses Revive Collagen and her kids' range with Tesco, called The Sam Faiers Edit. But the range used to be called Knightley's Adventures, after her beau's surname, and sources have told The Sun that Paul was 'disappointed' to have his name axed. In fact the name change is reportedly among reasons causing Paul to 'drag his feet' on proposing, with him 'struggling with the dynamic' of her soaring business success. One source said: 'Without meaning to, the dynamic in the house has changed and people suspect that Paul is starting to feel like he has been left behind. Another added: 'It's no secret Sam has always been the main breadwinner, but over the last couple of years, she has become a business magnate to rival Kim Kardashian.' In the years since meeting her partner, Sam has become somewhat of a business magnate and it is thought she is worth around £9million thanks to her businesses Revive Collagen (Pictured) Sam has previously been very honest about her thoughts on marriage, and admitted she does think it will happen eventually. Speaking on her podcast The Sam and Billie Show with sister Billie, she said: 'I get this question of when will we get married all the time. I just think, number 1 I don't know what the rush is. 'We've had a lot of pressure from people who watch our show and people ask 'why aren't you married yet, when is it going to happen?' 'I know we will get married – but I'm so grateful that we have it all to look forward to and in our relationship, we've done the hardest bit (having kids). It is a big challenge and change for a couple. 'I know it's not the right or correct way round but it doesn't matter. But we have done the hardest bit and then hopefully the marriage will be a success and last forever! 'I've never been in a major rush. Some people want to get married before having children but that was never on our agendas. 'But I am looking forward to having all three of my children at the wedding so I'm grateful that it has happened this way round. The more pressure put on us it pushes Paul away. And did you know that 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce!'
