Why is everything a fudging quarter? the sports quarter, the culture quarter the learning quarter, the nightlife quarter the shopping quarter how many fudging quarters are you allowed???

Next **** who gets in my cab and tells me chichester needs a religious quarter is going to get raped and murdered i kid you not. Just had the longest drive of my life today and it was only actually an hour but felt like 5.

Why are students so fudging smug and think everyone is interested in the same thing as them, some of us just got jobs to earn money. Also i do not care how many degrees you fudging got i know that there can only be 4 quarters of anything and no snotty nosed 19 year old is ever going to be able to convince me or anything else.

****S
 
When I first went to work about 5% of the staff at my company went to university when I retired it was over 50% and most of them thought they were gods' gift to the company. It appears the most important thing they learn at university is that they are the chosen people and better than the rest of us. Strangely in the 37 years I worked there only two of the Chief Executives went to University and they were both sacked.

Haha!! Good one

I'm a working class lad done good. University was great and I'm the first one to go in my family. I think a lot of people are chippy about it. I went to improve myself and open doors. And shag birds. What's not to like?
 
off the top of my head, student loans, student accommodation, teenagers, teachers, cheap food, cheap drink, having to rely on parents, that was just my reservations though, i'm sure that sounds like heaven to some people

saying that though i'll do everything I can to help my kids go (if they choose to), i know i was incredibly lucky to have a job to walk straight into that gave me a trade going forward, you can't rely on that so its wise to give yourself options
 
I worked all the way through university to limit the debt. My mum couldn't afford to give me anything so I had some debt which I paid off. I loved the mess and the debauchery and the friendship.

It has been a hugely positive thing in my life

If you don't wanna go an don't like it. Good for you!!
 
As a town planner (development control) not that far from Chicester i look forward to answering this in greater detail later.
 
We have quarters in Leeds. Isn't a just a way of saying area and there are themes. Civic areas. Business, cultural etc. it's a pool or pooling and coordinating development in a coherent way. Probably some French influence there as well.

In that case, maybe you can answer this:

How come some qunt up the road can replace the roof of his 150 year old house with ugly bastard solar panels that make me want to *struggle cuddle* him with his Prius every time I see them, when I can't even replace my windows with double glazed ones to stop my pregnant wife from freezing?

I assume you live in a listed building? or are covered by an article 4 direction? There should (generally) be no other need to require planning permission to change windows...

There are two strands to planning permissions, works, development or changes of use which can be carried out (generally under certain limitations, generally size and materials etc) without the need for planning permission (called the GPDO, the general permitted development order). Anything outside of these parameters which is defined as development then generally required planning permission.

Solar (PV) panels generally dont need planning permission as long as they are sited in line with the limitations and do not project more than 20cm (i think) beyond the roof slope.

In order to look more green PV panels were given status in the GPDO so the planning system would not be a barrier to 'greener' energy.

Hope this explains it.

i didnt unfortunately, i think i missed a cracking cab ride!

in regards to your quarters question, Leeds did a pretty good job in providing a response. i would add that the advantage of quarters or areas (zoning) makes it easier to provide the adequate infrastructure to an area and to also put barriers/conditions in place to help these areas thrive. Take Liverpool, they have a booming cultural quarter, having the 'culture' in one area was due to a concerted effort by the council, through the planning system, to facilitate cultural events and enterprise in the area. This may be a relaxation, or tightening of planning laws, providing street signage, investing in the road and transport network, repairing old buildings. This is all generally hard to do when cultural activities are spread out everywhere.

You generally have employment quarters in many town, areas that are strictly for employment only where there will br a restriction on the type of development allowed through the planning system. Generally, it will only allow industry in that area and is encouraged through providing better transport facilities such as improved roads, access to motorways, improved communication systems such as superfast broadband.

Im not saying it works all the time, and somewhere like Chicester doesnt strike me as a place it would work particularly well, but the theory does work and there have been many successful examples. However, the use of quarters has become one of those buzz words and every town and city thinks it needs one and has the demand for one.

Liverpool is a fantastic example of a cultural quarter. Sheffield has also made a good attempt at 'zoning' too.

Interesting about the GPDO stuff, thanks.

I'm pretty sure all the houses on my street are listed, they're all mentioned on the order that my lawyer dragged up when we bought the place. I've never heard if a listed building with PV panels visible from the street, have you?

Ive you pm me your street i can have a look and ill also dig out the legislation for you tomorrow. Your local to me (Portchester) arnt you?
 
You cant really do any works to a listed building under permitted development, and definately not put up PV panels. Even if you could you still need Listed Building Consent as you are altering the fabric and character of the building.

If you look on your Councils website in the planning/conservation and design section there should be a public list of all listed buildings.
