Hi All.
I have planning permission for my extension and sorted out everything for the ground work to begin but my builder asked the water board if building 700 mm away from the mains (which run through my back garden) would be ok and they have insisted that no it would not! 3m is minimum distance this puts the whole project in jeapordy as they want me to pay thousands to move their pipe I'm devastated as we cannot have any more mortgage and the planning runs out early next year is there anything i can do?
There is no option of moving the extension as space is tight and I cannot make it smaller or it would be pointless.
all advice would be brilliant as I now have 6 people in a 2 bed house!
