There's some sense in this. When I've been pushed for stupid nonsensical items before I've always pushed it back. Within the last 4 years I've sold 4 identical house from a small development of 4 and each person dealing with the conveyancing has come up with their own separate and independent...

Regardless of your circumstances you need to get legal advice. Simple. Stop messing around and go and talk to a professional. You should get a free consultation with a solicitor to at least give you what potential options you have. In the mean time, read this...

Ouch! I think burying your head in the sand might not have been the preferred strategy but I do think £8k is pretty stiff.

You can't buy indemnity insurance direct, you have to go through a solicitor. I tried before! Dont you just love solicitors and conveyancers? One person wants to sell, another wants to buy, solicitors try and make it as difficult as possible. Some of the daft things I've had to deal with in my...

How can we be sure the OP isn't that farmer?........

I'm quite amazed that not only are you at this stage and so unprepared but also you're asking for free advice on a forum in the hope that someone will give you the golden ticket. Search 'planning enforcement solicitors' and speak to a professional, right away. I will point you into another...

What type of workshop? If you're planning on putting a load of big machines in there and then you really need to think about a solid concrete base.

Well done you!

.....and..... In most cases, the principal elevation will be that part of the house which fronts (directly or at an angle) the main highway serving the house (the main highway will be the one that sets the postcode for the house concerned). It will usually contain the main architectural...

If you read this planning appeal from the planning inspectorate, point 8 on page 2 states that there is no statutory definition of the principle elevation other than 'in most cases, the principal elevation will be that which fronts the main highway and contains the main architectural features'...

I'm sure you've already read this (start at p31) http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/100806_PDforhouseholders_TechnicalGuidance.pdf Who are your council? They might have their own technical guidance hiding on their website somewhere which might help.

Why, have they had a loft conversion as well?

The image is from a 3rd Edition of the Architect's Pocket Book (2008). The latest 4th Edition (2011) seems to be exactly the same, from what I can see. Have a look at this website. Down the left hand size there's a load of different garage sizes in context with vehicles. They suggest that the...

Assuming you mean the footprint and not height then you used to be able to get away with an internal measurement of 2400 x 4300 - which gives a 600mm space to open just the drivers side door. Some council design guides say that 3000 x 7000 is their minimum standards for new builds so that the...

It's not going to be visible and I can paint it up easy enough. I have a metal worker in the village and I think it'd be easier and cheaper to get a few off cuts from him.

I've just mocked it out and I should be able to get away with a 1/3rd overhang, so within tolerances. I will stick a bit of 5mm mild steel in the corners though for piece of mind.

The bricks the bricks I'm using are old handmade solids. How would I get round the corner then?

I'm building a open brick gazebo and some of the floor detail has got me thinking. The floor is raised 200mm and the brick detail has a 50mm overhang. The trouble I'm having is the corner brick (110mm x 110mm) as I cat imagine it lasting long as is. Do you think that pinning the bricks with a...

Absolutely what Woody says - these restrictions in your deeds are not a matter for planning regulations, the local council or your neighbour for that matter. Restrictive covenants usually rely on one party holding the burdened land - in this case you - and another party holding the benefited...
