Thanks, Yes, access should be ok, and the water company visited and gave me a letter saying they had no objections regarding sewers. I may have prattled on too much in my original question. What I was really interested to hear was views on the privet hedge, is that likely to require a tree...

Hi, I am thinking of applying for outline PP for a detached house in the garden of a property I own. It is on a local authority estate up north and I guess the final 3 bed house maybe worth around 140k tops on completion , so only worth doing if the PP is reasonably straigtforward. 3 bed 1950s...

Thanks for that. It is a lot less than 50% Can you point me in the direction of where that rule/reg is ?

Hi, I'm doing a property refurb and the building inspector seems happy enough with the work I have done so far, adding en-suites etc. It is an Edwardian terrace, and I had intended to replace the existing wooden front door with a composite door. However, the door opening is quite narrow and...

I am looking to buy a semi with a good size garden which to the untrained eye looks like a potential building plot. The existing property has manholes on the path to the righthand side, within a metre of the property, with the pipe running parallel to the outside wall. To the right of the...

There is a small town garden to front of the house. Will I need a permit ? Is a permit the same as a licence ? a rose by any other name :-) According to council website ......... Apply for a scaffolding licence If you wish to position a scaffold on a highway, which includes any public...

Spoke to a local guy this morning, he said £500 + vat , I never asked about permits.

Thanks, I will call a scaffolder tomorrow, but you know how it is in this internet age , nobody wants to wait for anything :-)

Not looking for best price and recommendations at the moment, just a typical price if anyone could advise. Thanks

Thanks, I'm just after ballpark costs for now, not an actual quote , any ideas ?

Yes, it is a dwelling. So, as the Ltd Co. owns the property, and I own 100% of the company. Do I simply sign Ownership certificate A. and when it asks for applicant name and address, can I leave the Compny (optional) box empty ?

As a director of Ltd company which buys properties, renovates and sells. I am looking to apply for PP to add an extension to a property. Do I apply a for Householder planning permission or is this just for owner/occupiers ? or do I need to do 'Full planning' which appears to be more for...

If planners thought a planned extension was too big would they simply deny or do they sometimes ask you to reduce size ?

oh , and preview allows a much better interface for annotating the drawings.

Success !!! There is a utility which comes with MacOS called Preview When I select print in Sketchup there is a PDF pull down menu in bottom left corner which allows me to 'Save as PDF' when I do that and print to A3 and preview the PDF file I get an A3 page with the correct...

Ah, I see what you mean. I'm on a mac and foxit seems to be a windows only download. However, I'll look for something similar and let you know how I get on. Thanks again

"not work" means i follow the instructions and I get a 2d plan print out which looks great but is not to scale. I am not alone , many others report same issue on various fora. printing to A3 PDF may be the answer, as I can upload files to system without needing to an A3 printer.

yes, I am in top view

Thanks again, I'm really happy to have downloaded it, it does exactly what I am after and is easier to use than others I stumbled across. Yes, I had followed those instructions , but found them not to work. Googling the issue confirms that this is a bug found by many others too. :-)...
