That’s me, I think I’ll ask my architect / advisor to help with this one. The timber frame company provide a specification, that’s not my issue. I’ll speak to the Builder as well.

Hi - I think I am going to be on here a lot over the next year. So I need to get some quotes for scaffolding. We are having a timberframe, the timberframe company will let us know what they want / need but the scaffolding company need to know all the lift heights we need (for all trades)...

My planning permission has a condition against it that I am not allowed to burn rubbish on site. If they needed planning check their conditions, if they are in breach then call the planning department.

I want to build the house I have permission for... I just don’t want to be restricted I. The future, I certainly don’t want to have to apply for permission to put a shed in my garden, which I will at present!

Sorry but I am now more confused. I realise there is more context but the link above sayd if I appeal the conditions on the planning then an inspector will re assess the whole application and could refuse it - from what you have said they could refuse it but this is highly unlikely as the...

That’s my point, I need to apply to have the condition removed by the council first, should they say no then I need to appeal that decision, because if I base the appeal on the approval with conditions then the inspector could decide to overturn the whole decision by the council (probably...

Hi Woody From the following link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/use-of-planning-conditions#discharging-and-modifying-conditions Appeal to the Secretary of State against the decision of the local planning authority to grant planning permission subject to conditions. An appeal must be received...

Hi all, thanks in advance for any responses. We have had planning approved to build a new house. They have removed PD rights for extensions, roof enlargement and outbuildings. It is our belief that these conditions are not reasonable or necessary. At the same time we have just won an appeal on...

In further news yesterday we won our appeal on a previous application. The inspector was damming of the council in their report. So we can now build this as well: IMG_0130 by eddieed posted 5 Oct 2017 at 8:10 AM Part of the decision will be based on whether the mortgage company allow us to...

Thanks Dan, I think I have read what you are saying as follows. Wet UFH downstairs and in the bathrooms upstairs. Radiators in the bedrooms, and plumb the towel rails back to the boiler on a second circuit so they can be on all year round if wanted. An alternative option for bathrooms...

Hi all, thanks in advance for any responses. We are about to build a new build two storey timber framed house. We had always thought we would be using wet underfloor heating on the ground floor with Radiators upstairs and wet underfloor heating in the bathrooms (3) upstairs as well, with towel...

Well after 2 years, and over 18 months of dealing with planning we finally received approval today for this: IMG_0127 by eddieed posted 19 Sep 2017 at 7:42 PM The appeal inspector also visited today for an earlier application, so we still have that decision to come. It isn't quite as modern...

As Woody says he is a fool....everyone knows that a letter starting dear Sir/Madam should be ended with Yours faithfully and not yours sincerely!! Joking aside, as Woody said I would be making a complaint as he is wrong and you need evidence of it. Also should tenants be performing this type of...

I know which other forum you are on...I think he determines the problem as being exasperated locally because of the rolling nature of the area. There has to be a national definition, because he is on lower ground he fall foul of it.

It may be that it was built as a carport to stop the resonating sound of a garage door being closed impacting on your neighbours amenity! It may be that the builders are cheap skates and didn't want to buy a door. See if you can find the original plans for the estate and see what it was...

Have you got an expansion gap around that floor, there should be 10mm at least all the way round. I ask as I can't see any spacers. If you haven't the floor may buckle, especially with underfloor heating which will cost a fortune to run! Otherwise I think you are doing a cracking job for your...

Sort of, but it's not very well built...but as Woody says it doesn't matter. My wall won't face the boundary it will be 1cm inside it. They wont see it anyway as they have a fence on their side.

Hi, I have been looking at something similar recently and there is a guidance booklet: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/523010/Party_Wall_etc__Act_1996_-_Explanatory_Booklet.pdf Page 17 is the start of the section you need. It talks about laying...
