Nice idea. Unfortunately there is a massive concrete slab from the old garage, which to remove would be a tidy sum just in skips

I've removed it from the plans. The neighbours don't mind. Do they generally come and have a look on completion? Thanks

Sounds like someone has complained. Planning generally don't drive around looking into people's gardens unless notified. Did you inform them when you finished? If not, that may be another reason they've been sniffing around. Has it affected your neighbours? I applied to do a 3m permitted...

I am planning a log cabin build in the garden. Because I am within 2m of the boundary and I want to go 1/2m over 2.5m permitted development I have applied for planning permission. They asked me to remove an additional lean-to I had at the rear, as well as decking at the front and a 1m canopy. I...

Great, thanks

Thank you very much for your help. The idea is to use a timber frame, celotex and render to extend further - length ways only - into the garden, putting it level with my neighbours. My neighbours extension is right next to it (14cm distance), but his foundations are to the deeper 1m depth...

Just to update you all. He came back and replaced a few tiles. I gave him the list of faults, and he said scaffolding would come. After 3 weeks it didn't, so I sent him a letter telling him to make good or I would pursue legal action after the 26/11/10. He came round today and told me...

I want to stain a new exterior timber front & back door. Just wondered if I should do a name brand like Sadolin, or just go for Wickes? Many thanks

I've given him a list and he is coming next week 1) He is re-doing valley with wider lead flashing 2) Adding sufficient flashing to the chimney area 3) Relaying the ridge that adjoins my neighbours property that doesn't look like it has a sufficient bed of mortar 4) replacing all tiles...

He believes it's broken channels on the tiles
