Check your property planning permission conditions, see what rights have been removed - all or just specific, or if subsequent PD rights are included. There are no size criteria, or what you plan to do with it. For your purpose, its just a hard standing that's all you need to state, and the...

A situational sketch would help. I'm a little confused with the terminology of "spanning on to the face" (is that face fix or bearing on top? Wall plate (top of wall) or ledger plate (on face of wall)? If the plate is bolted, isn't that doing the restraining? Or are these lateral restraints...

What do you mean by braces? Do you mean collars, ties? You would not use Revit for this, it's no help

Firstly, it looks like you have some wood-boring insect attack to at least the wall plates and joists, and some damp timber to the horizontal gutter - are those being addressed? It looks feasible to create a raised collar roof by lifting those ceiling joists or even removing them and relying on...

Yellow staining is normally water penetration. However, some smaller splattered or grease-like stains can be condensation related. Small less frequent drips can lead to small stains that do not get past a certain size. Black mould is invariably condensation related, however the blown paint on...

You only need to stop the purlin from deflecting more, not try and jack it up - which you are unlikely to be able to do and would potentially cause more problems than it solves. 2x 600mm 12mm Ply strips over the split area, glued and screwed will do.

Those look like vinyl floor tiles. If so, and if they are more than 9" square, they are non asbestos.

A damp wall behind panelling is going to warp or split the panels, but probably not before fungus starts to eat away at them.

Competency schemes such as FENSA do not cover the structural opening alterations, and those will require a building regulation application for the openings and the frames fitted into it.

Many of those old council system-built houses tend to have a very low or flat area at the eaves, which can have some water ponding. That membrane should be resisting penetration regardless, so it is either creeping sideways under the lap or it's via a nail hole. Sometimes a worn or badly...

Fit a thinner strip of ply across the beam. Gripfill or pack to ensure it sits flush with the floorboards either side.

Reminds me of the local dance at the local county jail.

The problem with furniture is that it is typically coated, and so surface application is not possible unless it's sanded. Google for specialist furniture restoration.

What does your surveyor say about these? You need to know if there is cracking internally in the same locations, if there is that's concerning. If not, the cracking is less likely to be a significant issue. Another check is to see if cracks at low level extend down past the DPC and those...

It's a solid wall, so any suitable wet product properly adhered will not move or break and the movementof those old joists will be minimal. But yes some mesh could be used over the joist to deal with any risk. There should not be a significant amount of movement of the floor to affect the...

Pervious heater unit or access to ducts for warm air heater?

Because of the difference in levels/ heights/ angles I'd steer away from messing about with timber blocking and board. Rather, go with a poured leveling solution. Bear in mind the need to secure any loose bricks, fill joints, pack any perimeter gaps, dampen the surfaces and use a bonding...

Biggest worry would be that you have had a survey and this has not been diagnosed. The fact that cracks have reappeared following repointing would be a worry, and you should worry more if there is corresponding internal cracking.

They should do, but refer to the specific manufacturer's guidance for the board.

It's a common suspended slab.
