No it has not been expanded. Yes you could swim in it; weather dependent. Like anything that has a cover - it becomes available regardless of time/weather. To reiterate planning. 1974 - build a pool with no restrictions or conditions. 2018 - put a roof on it. Decision made clear it was for a...

Really interesting reading all this. As I have said and to be clear, I agree that under the LDC, it's likely to be approved. Just because the pool is used by a third party now that is has a roof, doesn't mean they could not have used it before. They just chose not to. Rather like the pub...

As I say, nuisance will likely be our route.

Hi - yes it all started with that but it made no difference hence the council are now involved. It does look like the LDC will be approved if my research is correct but nuisance is powerful enough.

Thanks. Yes, the EHO has been around and says the noise is unacceptable. However he is waiting for the outcome of the LDC application which of course would render nuisance irrelevant if the LDC is refused.

So I'm down a rabbit hole here :) You are probably right...A school is F1a and a community swimming pool is F2d. If the council class the swimming pool as a separate class then we would be fine as I have found that F1 to F2 is not allowed under permitted development. However I agree - I think...

I think I may have researched the correct answer. Found this description on the planning portal. "Generally, planning permission is not needed when the existing and the proposed uses fall within the same Use Class. For example, an office could be changed to a nursery, as both are within Use...

Their planning permission was for the roof only. In fact the decision even stated it did not cover third party use and that that was a separate issue. I will add to that - the decision also referred to the original decision to build the pool in 1973 which we managed to get hold of. The...

Really helpful feedback and thoughts. Apparently they can go for 'immunity' (the 4/10 year rule) or proposed under permitted development rules which is the 'usual' permitted development rules that apply - can you change use to allow third parties under permitted development. As for immunity as...

This is a long shot but if someone can project the outcome, I'd be delighted to read it! In 2018, a school got planning permission to put a glass roof over their outdoor pool. That was it - nothing else permitted. After lockdown to generate more income they rented it out to a swim club as the...

We are buying a house that has a natural lower ground floor so has a large window at the front. However the front door to the house is up steps to the upper ground floor. As this floor has bedrooms, we wanted to put a new entrance in at lower ground floor. This wouldn't mean excavation but would...

Can I just say thank you very much. All works now. As for open therm - you just need to set the thermostat to on/off in the settings.

ok :) so as I understand it. From left to right on my BDR91 N = terminate L = C (on Heat link) L = now empty A = now empty B = NO (on Heat link)

oh right. But others seem to have wired it fine...

I dont have a brown to go to C unless you mean link it from L to C (I had a link from L to A on the BDR91)
