The object here is to ensure that such development that occurs is both safe to live in and suitable for the site that it occurs on.<br /> <br />I don’t really know what is going on this particular site, only that what is being built there is not the same as what is shown in the approved plans.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-43045758881627874302010-09-04T09:55:14.081+01:002010-09-04T09:55:14.081+01:00Another question: does it REALLY matter?Another question: does it REALLY matter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-17300922948132895202010-09-03T21:38:14.172+01:002010-09-03T21:38:14.172+01:00Well spotted Michael.

So what's the point of the department that approves them? So what's the point of the department that inspects them? So what's the point of the department that enforces them? I really can't see much point in asking such questions as those that should give answers don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
