Thank you for your reply. The architects are renowned locally, ARB/RIBA registered and have plenty of applications to their credit on the local authority website. So we thought we are in safe hands. Too late to change now as we have already paid a hefty fee for their services. My questions are...

Some weeks ago my architect told me that the planner said there are no objections so he will send it for approval. A week after that the architect said it is very frustrating but there is something contradictory and the planning officer has made up his mind to refuse despite the alternatives put...

Lovely people on this forum you have been very helpful so far. A few questions more: 1. Usable loft space: First floor dimensions, 4m width x 7.2m length. Loft height 2.4m at highest point. Is 150cm lost from each side of the length for eaves storage? Roughly, what size room can I get? 2...

thanks noseall. 1) Electrics : what will BC need to see? There no sockets, anything else? 2) Waste runs: plumbers says he will connect it to current soil pipe using a boxed pipe under floor or from outside the house. Old location is 3.6m away from new location but there is a 25mm fall as the...

I am in a 2 up 2 down house with a kitchen extension at the back and big bathroom on top of kitchen. We are planning to move our staircase on one of the part walls for a future loft conversion. Loft stairs will make the middle bedroom smaller than bathroom. Currently they are same size. I want...

Construction wise option2 may be easier than option1 as the bathrooms and kitchen will be located on the same side as the current drains. However, for ground floor traffic flow option 1 is much better than option 2. Which option will be a better choice. Please a Advice.

Sorry, ground floor and first floor scales have varied slightly in the drawings. I don't know how to fix it though. Option2: Ground floor: First floor:

Please note: internal walls(front reception) are removed so it is one big room downstairs. Option 1. a) Move stairs to side wall to start climbing up from the rear end. b) Create two bathrooms upstairs. Ground floor: First floor:

Ahh.. didn't upload my image. Trying again ...

Sorry it took me a while to know how to do a floor plan. Also, we are unlikely to get PP for second floor side extension. So a little change. This is the current floor plan.

It seems sub contractor brought(reluctantly?) SE in to show the work. Was moaning it cost him extra £400, blaming us for supplying form after work. We told him before he started work and again when he started work that we couldn't submit the form as we didn't have the work description ( beam...

Thanks tony1851. Yes neighbour's could have a light issue. Is there any work around? Say, lower roof height, use of glass - clerestory Windows ?

we are in a 2 up 2 down house with a 4m rear extension(kitchen ground floor and first floor bathroom on top of kitchen). We want to fill in the 4m x 1.2m side space on ground and first floor to create a wider(full width) kitchen on ground floor and a similar size room on first floor which is...

I can't paste the image. It pasted URL instead.

May be this image is close to current floor plan http://content.metropix.com/px/7472135

Sorry, I forgot to mention we currently have only two bedrooms. Bathroom is upstairs. The rear bedroom is bathroom currently.

Something like this(ground floor). First floor: before after are swapped in this image. Will see if i can find another image. Also, we are unlikely to get permission for second floor side extension.

We have a typical 2 up 2 down house with a rear kitchen extension on ground floor and bathroom in top of kitchen. Will see if i can upload drawings later. We want to remodel it. Changes include: 1. Upstairs: convert middle bedroom into bathroom and reduce it's size to leave a corridor wide...

How do I know if joist need strengthening? I just bought the house and there was just a shower no bath. The openable window pane is much smaller(30cm in height and 80cm width) than fixed window pane.

On a second thought .... should i just pester builder and let him deal with LABC.
