Thanks. Much appreciated Will do!

I'm not looking to use permitted development rights. Would definitely go through planning. My council seem to ignore any correspondence unless through a formal application .. All I'm trying to establish is whether my house is a heritage asset but this seems impossible. :/

I'm allowed to build a roof extension as long as my house isn't classed as a heritage asset. I'm therefore trying to establish whether my house is a heritage asset. It's not a listed building nor is it on the local list of non-designated heritage buildings. It is however in a conservation area...

Thanks Nakajo. I've just checked the local list on my local council website and my house is not in it. It is also not a nationally listed building. Even if it sits within a conservation area, does that mean it is not considered a "heritage asset" ? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Hi all .. i need to identify what exactly a heritage asset is. Obviously this includes listed buildings but can someone confirm if this includes all buildings that sit within a designated conservation area? Thanks

I'll double check with council I think. Need permission to yes Thanks for your help

Woody, can you comment on the plans posted at 3.57 (with protected hallway and stairway)? Do these alterations need building regs sign off?.Tony1851 says not..If that's the case that's good news. Thanks both for your input.

Thanks for your help on this. By no structural alterations to walls, does this include internal walls? Because pretty much all the internal walls will be removed and replaced with new ones in different locations. They are not structural walls though.

I thought if I was moving the kitchen and bathroom to another location I'd have to .. No?

Yes. I could do this (see attached) but would still need building regs for change of layout. Unless you know different?

Hi all New to this and in need of some advice. I'm currently looking at converting my flat as per the attached plans. I've got provisional OK from my building control company providing I use a sprinkler system to mitigate fire risk of creating inner rooms. I now need to start looking...

Hi I'm currently changing the layout of my flat. The work would be a lot easier if I could install a saniflo macerator toilet as the main and only toilet in the flat. Sadly this isn't permissible in terms of building regs. Is there any way to overcome this ? Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me.. It's on the top floor of a 4 story block and it's a flat. Would that still work.? Otherwise there is room for one yes.

Hi I need to have work carried out to the drainage on the back of a tall four story mid terraced house (divide in to 4 flats). I've been told by my builder that I need to get scaffolding put up for the work to be done. The only problem is access for this. There is a road to the back of...

Hi Andrew Can I check one thing with you? If I alter the first plan we discussed (see attached) so the toilet pipe travels 3.5m to exit the building and then instead of continuing horizontal to the soil stack, it goes vertically down 3m an then another 3.5 horizontal to the soil stack, will...

I've got a bit of leeway with diagonals I think ;) cheers for the advice mate. Take it easy ;)

Thanks Andrew I had a feeling it wasn't going to work. I've adapted the plans so the waste pipe clears the stairwell and runs with the joist and keeps to 6m distance.. does it look ok to you now? thanks for your help [code:1][/code:1]
