So as promised, the officer assigned to our application called on Friday.
I was surprised to find out it was a woman and she explained that she has scheduled her site visit to the property the following week. She explained that as far as the plans, there were no issues with the design other than the fact that the height of the house was like 0.2 metres or something taller than the maximum. She also explained that Town and Country only overseas boundary requirements, therefore, she will be verifying the dimensions, lot size, position of house on the property and ownership. The approval of the actual structure is done by the regional corporation for the area.
Samurai called the next week as the officer advised we do and she explained that there were no problems with the site visit and it was passed to her supervisor for final approval. After about two weeks of no updates, Samurai called her once again and she said the last update she had was that it was with the typist. We got no updates for the whole of August and into September, we just didn't bother to keep calling again.
On September 30th, Samurai called to say his mother called him stating a letter from Town and Country came to his attention so he called me to find out if we should have her open it to see what it said. I don't know why he would even call to ask that!!! I was so excited for him to call me back. When he did, it was what we have been waiting so long for... our approval, YAY!
I couldn't wait to get home and look at our plans. This was going to be our house in the next year and I just couldn't wait, however, the letter also said the plans had to go to the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation for approval but we were confident it will all be approved in no time.
