I presume Planning Approval is being sought after here, so it would have to be shown on the drawings? Nowadays a side extension to a semi would normally have to be 'stepped back' to break the elevation, thereby eliminating that concern of a 'terraced' feel. I'd say you need enough working...

OP If you're going to apply for Building Regulations approval, why don't you just use the plans & elevations element of them to apply for a Cert. of Lawful Development? This will give you a formal approval of the PD works you're wanting. The Council fee will be £75. £75 for the avoidance...

Thanks for that Andy, but am I correct in assuming that Howdens kitchens are of a good quality generally? May be you have other suggestions if not?

Afternoon all, the wife is on at me to replace the Kitchen we've got......and she wants a good quality product. I'm of a mind to get a Howdens Kitchen, altho they don't see to do granite worktops. Was thinking of maybe a Stoves range cooker + a standard US style fridge freezer. Any...

Give your local Building Control dept. a call + ask them to be 100%. But if the soil pipe is still there + has been capped off.......make sure it's still working etc + just get on with it tbh.

I presume by technical drawings, I take it you need them for Planning & Building Control approval firstly? You can use the final building Control drawings for the Builders works also. If so, get a 3-4 quotes from Architectural Technicians. It sounds fairly standard, but you do live in...

:shock:

Morning I did a job for somebody recently, I drew up a dormer to ensure we met PD guidelines. Through the combination of the client + builder they decided to build it bigger, but in this case they built the cheeks of the dormer off the party walls + not stepped in as per my drawings...

Afternoon mate Check out the following, it answers your questions + more: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/house What you will be doing, if you stay within the 3msq allowance is allowable under Pernitted Development. Say for example you have a 1.5m x 1.5m porch you won't need...

I think we can safely assume you do very much care what the OP thinks........hence the pathetic tirade.

Now that's got to be no. 2 in the list of quote's of the week...... I seem to recall you pulling me up on expecting a bit of common courtesy :wink:

Quote of the week award ........c'mon people, it's a classic :lol:

Easy now tiger, I would've never taken you for somebody so needy :wink:

Oh boy here we go again.............. :roll:

With all due respect mate, you maybe need to gain a little perspective here. What gives you the right to have your environment 'untouchable'? Most of the population have to accept some from of development in + around there locality. There is a huge shortage in housing generally...

Thanks for that guys Is it literally a case of taking the tap apart + then simply replacing the o-rings on the spindle itself? The tap type is a basic mixer: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8320892/Trail/searchtext%3EBATH+MIXER+TAP.htm I'm assuming it has 2no. O-rings...

Afternoon all :wink: I've got a bath mixer tap, maybe 5-6 years old now. Everytime I turn on the hot water, water comes out of the tap housing at a good steady rate. Am I correct in assuming that the washer needs changing? I guess the housing is ok tho?

I've had a job recently where we have a tree maybe 7-10 meters away from a proposed extension. I think the critical issue is if it's within felling distance from your works. Has it got a Tree Portection Order also? When applying for Planning Approval, if the works are close to a tree you'll...

Thanks for replies. It is gonna be classed as a HMO standard property. It's a 3 bed 2 floor terraced house. I have thumb turn locks on the external UPVC doors, so you may be correct in the assumption that I'll need thumb turn locks on the individual bedroom doors. Altho if I blank it off...

Afternoon all I'm having Fire Doors fitted at a house I let out to students. Sometimes I get in students who don't know each other & would therefore want there individual bedroom doors to be lockable. Is it possible to fit a standard 3 lever latch lock on a Fire Door? I'd finish it either...
