They used the "heritage" line, that it would be out of character with what is existing. And that it would set a precedent for future development. Although similar extensions exist two roads away...o_O Some neighbours complained about amenity with regards to the rear extension but it is set back...

Its a bit longwinded but: 1) Got permission for the ground floor side and rear which is now substanstially built but roof not finished yet. 2) Put in for a 1st floor side extension set back from the front, several neighbours objected, the council said it was still ok, and then last minute...

Sorry if Im being thick, does this agree with @DevilDamo 's point, which does make sense....

Yes we went through formal planning, its just that the council and neighbours are being very difficult (one neighbour organised 12 representations!) so want to find the easiest way to resolve this. The council are saying one thing and then going back on it, so feel like I cant rely on them...

Hi we have put the roof on without any guttering and are waiting to get roof lights installed. So would this count as completed or do you mean we have to get a cert to say so, before we can look at permitted development rights? @^woody^ In terms of details I have seen the NHBC guidance, but...

Any advice on the design of the parapet wall? Also the box gutter? Do I need to notify the council about the parapet wall under the planning permission, or do I do it as permitted development and apply for cert of lawful development? Thanks v much

Hi Hope someone can clarify this for me. We have substantially built our approved wrap around ground floor single storey side and rear extension on our semi detatched house. We live in a conservation area, with no Article 4 direction removing PD rights. If we construct a parapet wall on this...

Yep heard this, but we are doing it, happy wife happy life.... Any key things to keep in mind, eg good alternative to doing box gutter in lead (so a bit cheaper)

Hi doing this on our flat roof extension. My dad is the builder lots of experience, dead against it. Could anyone give me the key details Needed to try to reduce the chances of leaks ! thanks very much for any help, much appreciated

looking for a lot of money to produce this, was wondering if I could get it produced in another material that also wouldn’t need to be maintained, might be more cost effective. But we are also going for timber windows so might not look very good next to them....?

Anyone....? Or if you have any ideas about replicating it please send them my way!

Was trying to think of a way of doing it without getting a shedload of ply, one opening is 4.5m by 2.4....

got mice in the house too don’t want them munching on the wiring either

Also anyone get any idea on this moulding above the bay window....does it look timber? Been quoted an extortionate price to replicate this (pic from neighbour) wondered if it could be done as a polyurethane cornice? Anyone with any experience of this? Thanks!

Hi Refurbishing our new house, we have now built the shell of new extension but the new windows and sliding doors wont be here for weeks. Would like to get on with the wiring of the old house and new extension but was thinking what are the chances of foxes etc chewing through this wiring as the...

@Notch7 Thanks for your guidance. I've been in touch with one supplier, they do the windows in engineered softwood pine (redwood?) with a hardwood cill. Their warranty is only 8 years for paint covering as opposed to 10 with the meranti, the windows themselves have a 20 year warranty, as...
