Hello everybody, i am new to this forum, thank you for reading my post,
i am a council tenant from hemel hempstead, i moved into my house a few years ago as an exchange it has a loft conversion which is fifteen years old, not built to regs they condemned it about a year ago, after much fighting with the local mp behind me i have managed to get them to bring the loft up to regs, i have spent so much time and money making my house a home, now they want to put a partition wall right through the middle of my already tiny victorian cottage, i have read into it and understand why they need to do this but i would really love to hear some alternative suggestions, i am willing to pay if there are extra costs involved, i was thinking fire rated partition/door to top of grnd floor staircase, permanent escape ladder to exterior, sprinkler system?
thanks in advance,
Carla
