Hi Woody, The body of the text regarding our shed roof shape is as follows: "I would therefore request that you make arrangements for the roof element of this development to be altered so that it fully complies with the requirements of class E.1(d)(i) in that the development has a dual-pitched roof." The document that it refers to is the general permitted development order 1995 as amended in October last year. I hope that this explains our problem further. They do not have an issue with it being a Gambrel roof only that it is not dual pitched. Please look up Gambrel Roof on google as this is the shape of our roof and also if you look up dual pitched roof on google it states a Gambrel roof as an example.
hope you don't mind me contacting you. I read a post that you left about Rated Tradesmen and other internet based venutes and I couldn't agree more with the views you expressed! I'm not a tradesmen but I know a few tradesmen who express the same opinion. So I've got together with a friend and we've decided to see if we can't build a better Web service.
We carried out research and found various websites in operation. However, the general feeling amongst tradesmen in forums is that these websites can provide benefits but more often than not they tend to give tradesmen a poor service, though this is not always the case.
Our mission is to create something of real benefit for both customers and tradesmen. We don’t want to be like the rest. We want to be better and we want to be inclusive. So we’ve designed a survey so that you can have your say and input into the building of this service.
Below is a link to access our survey. We would really appreciate it if you could give us your feedback. The survey will only take a few minutes and we created it using a company called SurveyMonkey.com.
