Just been round and seen the neighbour, it was the 600mm that the Officer wouldn't let go of, and forced the Full Plans App, which only gave 3.5mt, with the flank also required to beindented at an angle, so it was narrower at the end. 2x doors up though we have the 5mt's granted under PN PD's...

cdbe ... matching materials, matching roof pitch and finish, windows in proportion, I think it looks good, nice job ... in comparison some of the c**p round here, built by people who don't care how it looks, its just the rental they are after, so lurking behind the 'street scene' nastyness...

Where any projection exists rearward, are even 3mt full width extensions unavailable to be claimed under PD, and would be refused as: - the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and would – - have a width greater...

Thanks, so one could not make the wall straight ?? by demolishing the 600mm projection and making good before making a PN app.. Does this nonsense with the back wall and any projections excluding full widths, also apply to 3mt extensions ? or is it just Prior Notification Larger Home Extns (ie...

WTF ... is it only properties with a straight rear wall that are eligable to apply for full width extensions, even where the existing projection is small, say 300mm to 600mm ?????????? Is this just daft, or am I missing something. Could one make the wall straight to claim the PD ? ie demolish...

but it isn't visible (for the condensate) nor serviceable Thanks, all good points, and agree, see a need for the visible air gap.. I'm not working in an abbatoir, fortunately. I can't find the clear version though, only this...

20w LED, though it does seem much brighter, BigCliveDotcom did a YouTube on the inverse of this very issue, ie advertised vs actual lumen output, its in one of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/@bigclivedotcom/search?query=floodlight: But I think it might be this one: Another cheap eBay LED...

But how do you propose to clean the now non-removable U-bend when it inevitably gets clogged up? I refer you to the abattoir comment previously ;) It provides a visible air gap for fault identification but also incorporates a non return valve to avoid smells Thats a good suggestion, but would...

I still think its worth adding a small length of pipe to the tee where the drain hose goes in Is that to make the overall pipe length longer, the flexi pipe reaches down inside to below where the T joins ...

the issue you may have now is that formed trap may gunge up and you have no way of cleaning it now without cutting it out, Yep I agree, but unless anyone using the washing machine is going to be a butcher or abatoir employee (ie grease) I can't see that getting blocked, I have 20 year old pipe...

Thanks for your replies, all helpful. Have I done anything wrong. I didn't actually fit this - but hey ho ... Agree the clipping should have been better to stop any strain on the joints, not sure why I didn't see that. I did find a small leak at the top of the trap where the pipe is indented...

I have a separate waste outlet for a washing machine (sink outlet goes to a Grease Trap, hence its separate), the trap has had recurrence of leaks several times over the last 18 months, i have had it all apart several times, last time replacing all the rubber seals. The leak is not a huge amount...

In the great majority of fields, 'repair' of broken items doesn't happen at all So progress brings us another box to pile up at the 'recycling' centre, along with all the TV's, media players, and fridges ... grim. one expects half of a number of LEDs to fail before they reach their quoted 'life...

I have a Union F97 lock in an Everest Front Door, which itself has a mutli point locking mechanism. This is also known as the 'Everest Lock'. The Original Yale Euro lock cylinder has been replaced with a 'Lathams Hardware' cylinder. For the past 12 months the lock has suffered a number of...

I guess whether i have been unlucky or not is not my main gripe, I feel a sense of indignation at having to dispose of such a large chuck of metal, glass, wire, when really its only the smaller element/circuits that have failed. It seems such a waste of rescources, how many million of these...

What's the problem? The LED's usually outlast the whole fitting anyway I agree - if that were the case, but these failed after only 18 months, for my sins the large lamp was a LAP product - but still, it shouldn't fail after such a short time. What brand do you install, and that has a replacable...

Wondering if anyone has had the joyfull experience of having to apply Part E 'Resistance to the Passage of Sound 'of the Building Regs to an existing HMO. Being in an Article 4 area gives our council (and I suspect others) the opportunity to apply a planning condition of Part E compliance in...

WTF. We go from interchangable Incandescent/Halogen disposable bulbs - to modern super energy efficient LED fittings, however in the great plan someone forgot to add the ability to just swap out the LED element in the event of failure, so now when the unit fails someone has to get up a ladder...

BT Engineers kindly aerosoled grey spray paint over newly cleaned and pointed brick work and block paved drive. I was advised it was 'special, designed for the job' and would be able to be cleaned off when they had installed the extra line they were instructed to do. I have - without any...

Hi, I have had to have one of these silly Vessel sinks installed in a toilet - which has overflowed and caused a flood resulting in damage to equipment. I think the flat grid drain type installed is at fault, anyone have similar experience ? I can replace the drain for an umbrella type that...
