Don’t they now say or BR applications that the fee you pay is on the assumption that the work is completed within 2 years? Or something to that effect

AFAIK .. linked detection didn’t appear in the building regs until 1991.. building control will know this as flats which don’t meet this standard can be classed as HMOs under the S.257 Housing act (and therefore can be dealt with by private sector housing)

(y) You’re the expert

I suppose the other question would be is the ownership of the garage and flat above different or the same person?

Can’t see them being lenient in a post Grenfell world. You’re better off installing a sprinkler system and keeping the original doors as an acceptable workaround

I think you need to get yourself a designer, yes there are rules but a designer can help you alleviate any issues

Planning application needed if you go past the side of the house see technical guidance link page 26

1. Planning Portal has a service providing low cost site plans and local area plans. Are these all that will be needed to successfully apply for PP? i'd leave that to your designer 2. If not, what other detail will be required, apart from the form filling? Elevations and plans, possibly showing...

You can still protect the communal hall, The flat entrance door will be at least an fd30 The staircase will be lined to ensure fire proofing, the alarm systems can be linked to alert upper flats, whether linking them to hallway or just communal area but overall, I reiterate that it isn’t the...

Put in a detection system inter linked to all rooms including hallway, ensure bed 1 and bed 2 both have escape windows and also put in a FD in the hallway separating the sleeping spaces to the living spaces on the other side of the wall of the kitchen sink other than that tough sugar! Should...

Folks just after some pointers here. I have an existing 6x3 garage which is leaking under the creasing tile and also along the abutting wall (cement fillet) The roof otherwise is in good condition and is stable my plan is to remove squirty foam Replace with cement fillet Renew cement fillet...

Thanks for that, incidentally i came up with the exact proposal, however i was just wondering whether there would be a non flat roof solution, but looking at it, i dont think so without creating inaccessible valleys.

Hi All Can someone give me the a couple of options on this roof plan, whereby the black lines are the existing house and the red is the proposed. ive tried a few but im trying to work out someting a little simpler. IF it wasnt clear there is a hipped main roof with a gable to the front elevation

So I noted that the shower screen leaks St the bottom between the metal swivel arm and the clear plastic seal is it just that the plumber cut this poorly? Or even if I buy another seal would this problem still occur red line shows direction

I think you need a well thought out design access statement to accompany your plans, what area are you in? Those technician rate seems ok to me, I would know I do the same! Happy to quote too! I currently have a planning app in Ealing registered to conver a traditional 3bed semi in to 2 flats...

So, after my other thread was locked this is the latest: Initial problem was hot water fluctuating SO BG came out and did the following -New PCB -1x new water pump replacement of sensors the problem was now not fluctuating but the water not warming at times in the day perhaps when the...

yes i presume that BG will come back until its fixed, i have paid a small excess to get it fixed so surely unless its fixed i dont pay, simples!? i will wait a day or so to see what happens whether its a common problem or whether its as and when The BG engineer to be fair to him was on the...
