I'd be looking to find out what the open-ended pipe is in the top right of the last picture and where the other end goes to.

My dad fitted a second hinged hatch to the loft opening when we were kids. so when we went up there we could drop down the flap and it would cover the hole. Stopped the heat coming up and us going down too quickly if we got careless ;)

That sounds right to me. If you increase the roof volume in the course of a part A extension it counts towards your part B allocation. I believe the description of Part B (which I don't have to hand at present for the exact wording) says that any increase to the roof volume over and above the...

I have a 1950s bungalow and my survey said that too (almost word for word). I took it at face value, and as it was only in one room where the fill was deepest, I went ahead and bought the place. The floors have now dropped another inch and a half in the middle all over the house and all the...

I suspect your problem is the same as I have in my bungalow. The concrete floor slab has sunk and the result is cracks in all the internal walls as they try to adjust to the lower, dished floor on which they are now standing. I had the insurance people out and they said that as the main...

The side and rear extensions are not actually touching and there is a small gap to seperate them. I, and the planning officer I spoke to, believe this would be permitted as the side and rear portions are physically seperate. I would not actually build this as there would no doubt be problems...

If it helps, I had a meeting with my local planning officers last week after they refused my planning application for a wraparound extension. As part of the discussion I took along some drawings of what I believed I could do under PD and this is an outline of one of the schemes. (The existing...
