Right basically I was looking for someone to draw up some plans for me and help with the planning application. My old fella got recommended an engineer/architect so I went with him, all went reasonably ok up to the planning,everything was handed in etc. Then the trouble began, he never stated on the appication that I was building on my parents home farm so the council sent me out a raft of questions about where I was working etc. They also asked for a few more trees to be put on the site layout and a cross section of the proposed sewer connection. I sent the engineer back the answers to all the questions and he said he would sort out the other 2 issues. That was at the start of november and since then the man has become almost incontactable, I managed to get in touch with him at the end of november and he said the details were sent in but low and behold when I contacted the council to find out the progress before xmas they hadn't received them. I am looking for peoples opinions on what I should do, I have gone down the softly softly route cos I dont want to get on the wrong side of him before it is finished but to be honest I am sick of his lies. I havent paid him for anything yet so should I try and get someone else to finish it out??
