Hi that should have read 12 M long and 12M wide !!!!!! Sorry for the confusion

I have a detached house measuring 10m deep by 10 m wide. The garden is 12 m long and 2 metres wide I ve received permission to do a 8M single storey extension which would make the house very large but also leave me with a small garden. Does anyone have any thoughts on when a house becomes too...

Thats my point - I am not building forward - The roof terrace / balcony is already there I am simply building it higher !

Big chunks of pebbledash and render have come off the bricks I ll get some pics but it is really bad

Imagine the business opportunity if someone was to create something like this ...

I m actually looking at the PD as follows - My point would be that the roof terrace is part of the house and would not be forward of the wall forming part of the wall 2. Any enlargement of a house involving a ground floor extension consisting of more than one storey (including any alteration...

And to be clear there is no way to paint on render - I cam across a product which allows you to paint on plaster! http://www.wickes.co.uk/Knauf-Proroll-Max-Plaster-13-5kg/p/166799 nothing similar for render?! I just dont fancy hiring scaffolding etc and making this a big job especially when...

I have a balcony at the front of the house. This is on the first floor and I would like to increase the height of the brick wall and add a glass roof. I do not see anything on the planning portal regarding bricking up a balcony and whether planning permission is needed What should my...

Hi Yes I can see the council is shifting the blame to applicant but I wonder whether this is proceduraly correct and what the consequences are if they were provied wrong I submitted an accurate OS map but they disagreed that it was representative of how the house looked like in 1948 What...

I want to prove it is there so that I can do a full width across the side extension piece as well as the main house At the moment the council are saying I can only go the width of the house

Its a 8 metre deep extension which the council do not like - The only way of getting permission is via the prior approval mechanism ! But my question about whether the householder has to prove the side wall or the council is required to disprove still stands !

Hi I applied for a prior notification for a full width extension and the application was refused for the following reason. The council reckon that the side piece which I have marked in red is not the original house which is why they claim I am extending beyond a side wall If I was able to...
