In fact, the caseworker demanded that for us spouses living together, a representative be named in the application.
Your architect submitted the building application and you received (in writing or orally?) the response that the application cannot be processed because no representative is listed in the building application form? You have to explain to me exactly how that happened. Who demanded what from whom and in what form?
He revoked the preliminary building permit!
What is that supposed to mean? He sent you a decision stating:
Dear Mr. Oakland,
herewith I revoke the preliminary permit AZ 12/34567-2017 dated 01.01.2017 because your house now looks different.
Sorry Oakland, you need to sort something out and formulate it here in an organized way with a concrete problem statement. The preliminary building permit has certainly not been revoked; that would require various legal steps.
Well, it looks like you have the chief pee-pee of the bureaucratic system on your neck.
Please no bashing of authorities without clear facts.
