I have a planning application in for a very straightforward conversion of a single story farm building into B&B accommodation. At the request of the planning officer, my BCO has visited and given the project his blessing. He wanted a structural engineer to comment on a retaining wall and the roof design. I have a SE doing these calcs at the moment. The architect has just written to say that he has arranged a meeting with the BCO at his (the architects) studio to discuss building regs requirements.
1. Is this normal?
2. Shouldn't the architect know what building regs are required?
3. BCO has told me what he wants. SE has told me what he will stipulate.
I haven't even got the permission yet. Isn't this wasting time?
