We're mid-renovation and now have to choose a boiler. After searching and acquiring knowledge in forums, I was hoping you experts here might be good enough to share your advice too. We have a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom terraced house, which will be around 130sq. m with 66sq. m. - the entire ground...

Notch7, thanks, it would seem that I might have. The concrete would be used to fill the space under the current floor and a floor built on top.

I'd like to start by saying thanks to all of you who've responded to my couple of other posts relating to the renovation of our house. Your advice has been hugely helpful and we are now well under way. The title should also have read 'floor' not 'foundation'. Apologies, rookie error. I...

Ah, thanks Tony. Are you able to point me in the direction of these 2 cases please? It sounds like we take the risk and see what happens. If it were you, how would you interpret the PD directions?

tony1851, thanks again. Do you have a view as to what the 'highest part of the roof' mentioned to in Permitted Development refers to? If it's the height of the roof of the main, 3 storey, house and not the height of the single storey extension then we have nothing to concern ourselves with...

Thanks Tony1851, it will of course be built to confirm to Building Regs. If we retrospectively applied for planning permission should Planning say it's not Permitted Development, then could Planning not simply refuse to grant planning permission and insist we take the flue down via enforcement?

Thanks Wessex101, that’s what I wasn’t clear about either. Thanks though.

Thanks Nakajo. Are you referring to the Building Regulations as it’s actually the permitted development regulations I’m not clear about. Thanks again.

Hi All, After scouring the internet, I’m still non the wiser. We have a single storey flat roofed extension overlooking our garden and we would like to install a DEFRA approved multi-fuel burner. The height of the extension is 3m and permitted development states: Flues on the rear or side...

Great, thanks! Hopefully we can agree this with our neighbour ourselves!

Thanks Nakajo. Any idea if we would be allowed to strip back the part of our neighbour's extension which is on the parapet party wall in order to allow us to do this?

Hi Folks, We're in a bit of a pickle and I would really appreciate the opinion of those more knowledgeable on party wall matters than myself! We're planning to build a rear dormer loft extension to our mid-terraced house. Our neighbour on 1 side already has a loft extension, which is shown in...

Thanks Tony1851, very much appreciated.

Thanks, I have!

Tony1851 and Nakajo, you certainly sound from your discourse like you know what you're talking about, however I'm no clearer as to our position. I wish I could attribute that solely to being blonde, but I can't! Can either of you help me, as I still don't know whether we can do this under PD, as...

Thanks Nakajo. The side return and rear extensions were already there. We're simply seeking prior approval to extend from the original rear wall of the house, back 6m, including the old rear extension, as allowed under PD.
