Hi looking to start up racing pigeons ready for 2017 season. At the moment im looking to get permisson for a 18×6ft loft from my local council in staffordshire. ive been told by the council to make myself a member of a association which im in the process of doing and then council will come out to measure up and look at membership forms. Just wondering if anyone else has been through the same thing in staffordshire with the council and how did it turn out ? Cheers J

When we applied,a guy came out to our place,he said the two things were,your next door neighbours.and all sheds or lofts must be at least 18inches from their fence.no problems.

Had to make myself a member of the RPRA then apply to council they just sent me a letter saying my application has been approved aslong as i send them details of my RPRA membership and i get a proffesionl loft building company to erect the loft. Im thinking ecco lofts at the moment ? so should hopefully be up and running for next young bird season.
