There probably is, but all the local authorities I worked for held onto them, I even managed to find the plans for my local pub from 1860. Glasgow do make a point of stating they have most of them, though not on line, so its a trip down to the archives. There are actually people all over the...

As it happens I've been researching Glasgow recently and available construction details, building plans etc. Its to do with debunking some utter nonsense from someone in Glasgow claiming the whole area (and the entire globe) was covered in some sort of Victorian era mudflood that filled up all...

B Regs only requires that means of escape are made no worse than previous, there is no legal obligation to improve the means of escape.

Sect 18 if the building act makes it a statutory duty to consult with the water authority if a proposal is over a sewer, however not only are some sewers plotted in the wrong position but it wasn't unusual for them not to plotted at all in one district I worked.

Happens fairly regularly.

Last time someone tried this I told him to stop being F***ing stupid and your not bulls***ing some old lady who's never been under the bonnet of a car, it was a £180 car with a years MOT. He then tried offering me less than scrap value told him to either buy it at the price of F*** off, he...

If you submit a full plans app them make sure you tick the box (if there is one) or attach a letter requesting one when you submit, they will then be legally required to issue it.

My old boss (now retired) used to charge for all comp cert, this was dropped the following Monday after he retired. As far as I was aware he was the only one insisting on a fee. As far as domestic properties are concerned there is a legal requirement to issue these but only if certain criteria...

I always remember the tv advert in the 80's where Ted Moult was at Tan Hill pub, highest pub in Britain praising the virtues of the recently fitted Everest windows. The head of planning for the authority where Tan Hill was then located nearly choked on his dinner the first time he saw it as it...

Its mainly to upgrade the windows for Part L (thermal insulation).

Still got a couple of motors with unassisted drum brakes, although I've rebuilt a front axle, converted it to discs of a later model ready to go in.

Reciprocating saw. Brilliant bit of kit, I bought one recently more for classic car work though, Cut up a knackered body tub into small pieces to fit in the back of the Astra in no time, would have took hours longer with angle grinders, axes etc. Should have got one 30 years ago.

Should probably have made it a little clearer, private inspectors cannot carry out any enforcement work, this also includes work that they would be dealing with under an initial notice.

My cars all use an audible type warning system, when I can hear a grating type noise this tells me its time to replace them.

I'm assuming you mean private inspectors, however its not the local authority that authorises them. Private inspectors cannot carry out any enforcement of the B regs, this can only be carried out by local authorities. this is the reason that only the local authority can carry out Regularisation...

Thats how I've got mine set up, runs the full length of the garage, you can lift the front of a TR7 of the deck with it and a full Morris Minor shell. But I've seen some laid the other way, but they just put a chain around the steel and hooked the block and tackle on it.

No, only came across this once before and in spite of the calculations and very extensive engineers detail the owner/diyer couldn't be convinced it made any difference as it was still the same size steel beam, I changed jobs two days later and after much abuse I passed it over to one of my...

I meant it as a good fun thing, hate front wheel drives. I could drive an escort in a straight line with the car at 30 degrees in the snow, used to fit Colway forest tyres it with tubes so I could drop the tyre pressures down to 10lb for the snow and not worry about them pushing off the rims...

OP On an unrelated subject, back in the 80's when Autotrader was a weekly paper there was a Granada from the Sweeney for sale locally, not sure if it's the same one in pic, but I nearly went to have a look until I priced the insurance, they didn't appreciate the V6 motor!!! Ended up with...

OP just to clarify a previous comments, this work will be subject to certain aspects of the B Regs ie structural work, thermal insulation, however as it is not a change of use Part E (sound insulation) cannot be required by B Regs.
