This is a public service announcement (without guitar):
When purchasing slightly used British bombers, one should always remember to insure you have sufficient storage space beforehand....

That's cool. How do you get planning permission for a bomber? Filling in those forms would be a pain in the arse.
Well if he gets permission I'm gonna go there! Imagining the bureucracy involved it may well never happen. Then again, one person did get planning permission to build - and has built - a replica Coal Mine in his back garden. I guess if you can do that...it might well happen!

Same way you get planning permission for everything else, bribe a civil servant.

The guy who built a replica coal mine was Fred Dibnah, he was a professional steeplejack amongst other things.
I'm not criticising him. I think what he's made is great and so-what if he's a bit of an eccentric: well played him. Sorry, my last post was meant with a hint of humour/sarcasm. I'm all up for such projects and hope this guy gets the bomber behind his pub; whether or not he will is another matter altogether..

If only it were that simple. Planning is an absolute bugger to get. The biggest problem is neighbours as they often seem to think they should have a say on the colour of the carpets in the new building and the local councilors listen to them.

I got bored, and it's a good job too! I never would have found out about the plane if I hadn't until one day when I'm going past the airport and there's a giant empty space there! it's so sad :(

It is that simple (depending on what you actually need planning permission for)
the amount of people you need to bribe varies(and will sometimes include your neighbours); in some cases the amount of money required to bribe your way to planning permission exceeds the amount of money you actually have.
You just need to understand what your local government officials//councilors are saying.
"We have to refer that to health &safety"= Please bribe me
"We can only give permission if (insert amendment with a very high cost of x)"=Please bribe me the sum of x divided by ten.
"Lovely weather we are having today"= Please bribe me.
and so on.
Of course if you are unwilling to pay the bribes then getting planning permission is difficult or impossible.
