tbh, wish I'd never even bothered the planning department, non of my neighbors seem to bother, and so I've spent thousands and had to jump though countless hoops while they all get on and improve their buildings. but yeah thanks for your advice, Geoff.

well if anything that makes me feel better! I hate how complex the whole planning area is.

hi, I entered my planning application for development work a couple of years ago, at the time we were up against a large CIL payment for changing from commercial to residential. This is because the site was vacant. To fix this we removed change of use from that plan, and used the site in its...

Thanks it's a good article. Battery is only a year old, but looks like it runs down due to infrequent use.Will have to start keeping an eye on it and manually charging when I can.

Hi, been having some problems with my battery recently so took it to local battery store where they tested it. They were able to tell me it needed a full charge, the battery is rated around 600 and it showed 450, think this is an amp related figure. Anyhow my question is there a way to do this...

yeah I quite like both of these ideas. woulld be nice to run the bottom plinth all around and equally would be nice to have a draw so usable but not smeggy and dirty.

hi all, so I'm fitting a rather small & cheap kitchen so I don't really want to fit kitchen doors to the appliances. The option is to go with freestanding Dishwasher, Washing Machine and Fridge. From doing freestanding units in the past you are usually left with a 8cmish gap above the...

cool I'll go with 4mm for the hob they have it at TLC. I'll use 2.5mm for the oven. cheers all.

nothing from what I can tell. its just a bullet point next to a not very helpful diagram for those interested page 21 on the lmanual

I hear you and agree that most of these reports they require are never read. I really loath dealing with the council job worths. If I could get a baring on those numbers I will be cobbling it together from what I've read today and I think all will be well. well until the next pointless request...

yeah it does seem overboard. but I have read through a bunch of applications and I reckon I can put together a document, there is one area that I have no idea how to proceed though and that is the table consisting of the following info: Building Regulations Part L compliance (“Baseline”...

So really the only confusing bit for me here is the 3x6mm2 cable? Can't see any heat resistant 6mm cable on screwfix? other then that I'm thinking this should cover the job: http://www.screwfix.com/p/time-heat-resistant-flexible-cable-3093y-3-core-2-5mm-x-5m-white/80786

ok I have looked up the manuals and I feel foolish now for posting here. The oven (LOGIK - LBMFMX15) states: For this connection a power with a minimum specification of H05VV-F (PVC insulated and sheathed) 3 x 1.5mm 2 should be used. the hob (LOGIK - LINDHOB15) a little more complex as it...

Im apply for change of purpose on a commercial building to residential. And not using any renewable energy sources, apart from the supplier which is 100% renewable sourced electric, but I can't imagine that would need to be known as you can just change your energy supplier at anytime.

thats a good idea. I'll go search for one

so I've been asked to add "A detailed Sustainability Statement is required and this must include a completed 'Energy Strategies' table. This should show how a 20% saving in carbon emissions can be achieved with the use of renewable energy sources." to my planning application. looks like a bit...

an appropriate cable.... hence I thought I'd ask here..

hey all, what size cable do I need to go from the actual cooker and hob to the wall socket. The wall socket is already fitted with 10mm from the CU to Switch to socket. but I'm thinking I probably need a more flexible cable (and heat proof?) for the last bit? cheers

so yeah I got around to putting a switch on and it was fine. So I then put a new PIR switch in and that was ok. then like a couple of days later buzzing again. I think I might get some new (better) switches.

That's great info thanks. You said it works can you give me some info on the improvements? I know it's hard to quantify but I'm interested in how effective it can be before I embark. As others have said may be better to save up for new ones. But new are around a grand each and diy method around...
