It depends what the PP is for.
If it's for an extension a mile away then no, you won't have a say.
If it's next door and going to put your house in the shade then you have a legitimate complaint.

Used for parking cars
As opposed to a car park
If it's a patch of land no one has bothered with for decades and got used for parking cars doesn't mean those using it have any rights to park there.
Unlikely to be successful in challenging it but no harm in trying.
Just don't build your hopes up because I can't see anything but disappointment on the horizon

Land does not belong to the residents and this sort of thing crops up all the time. You buy a house with a drive to have parking. How would you feel if you owned a drive and someone parked a car in it (peed off)
Then there will be covenants in place if its being funded by the council but a good solicitor who is a specialist may have given advise. The applicant will have already spoken to the planning dept and may have been the green light to apply if its for housing

Mmmm interesting, the council say the other residents can make a bid for the use of the land if they so wish (cheeky barstools)
The land used to have garages on and was built as parking space. It's a farce and the guy in planning is taking a back hander here imvho, corruption at the council now that's something new.............not!
I have been a builder/property developer over 30 years and it goes on but proving it is another matter

Yes it deffo goes on, back handers are rife in all walks of life. Where money is involved there is always skullduggery.

eh who does that? let me know and I will report them to the authorities ASAP, the utter scoundrelsskullduggery i think we aim for it on here with regards to cheap tv
You can go on to the Land Registry and find out who owns the land : Search for property information from HM Land Registry :: think it costs £3
Make sure you and your neighbours object to the planning, but if the council owns the land and decides to sell it to whoever, thats probably all you can do...?

The local council own the land and more than 50% of the residents in the area are opposed to the leasing of the land.
Hi. I can't see where you have mentioned what the planing permission is for, but you mention leasing here? Do you know what the lease is for?

Leasing it for a brothel or gentleman's club so a friend says
is the objection to stop someone leasing it, and therefor stopping residents from parking on it? or is there actually planning application for change of use of the site that is being objected to?
If there are a number of residents that use it, then could there not be a community fund raising or something to do what the council have said and put a community bid in to lease it?
I started that rumour on facebook
