Examples of Dormer extensions in local streets

cheers Woody. If I were to apply for a box dormer on the front aswell and they knocked it back. Could I amend and resubmit the Hip dormer under the same application or would it be a new application?

Hi, I plan on adding a front and rear dormer to my semi detached 1 storey house. It's very common in the area. On the Councils planning website I found an identical house a couple of streets down who got approval for a back box dormer (50% width roughly) and 2 Hip front dormers. If I...

Anyone? I'm probably going to opt for 10mm Marmox tile backer due to the cost. Still unsure if I should bother with any insulation in the cavity?

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice on insulating behind aquapanel and moisture resistant plasterboard in a bathroom. I plan on fitting a bath with over bath shower. 1 of the walls the bath goes against is an internal lathe and plaster stud wall, on the other side is a bedroom. The other wall...

Hey, Sorry I overloooked your comment at the end of my thread on planning a loft. The non-constructive bit was aimed at the freddymercury guy who was just being sarcastic. Sorry, no offence meant. Thanks for replying

Sorry Jeds. Your advice was very helpful. There had been that many negative comments between yours and Woodys I worded that badly. Cheers! (Just checked I also hit the thanks button on the 31st)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply Woody. Even although I may be able to do the design, it might end up costing more going back and forth with tweaks. I'll see what I can put on paper and decide from there. If there are too many things I'm unsure of I may well get somebody in to do...

The Permitted development rights of Feb this year. If I'm wrong I'll be happy. If anybody has anything constructive on this I'd still like advise.

Start munching. PD rights stipulate les sthan 50% of the roofspace. I may want to use more.

I'd have used 'rocket science' but hey-ho Freddy, you're obviously in this trade and I'm by no means trying to make out you chaps are unneccesary. Care to advise me rather than have digs? I've had a look on my local councils planning website of every loft conversion done on simlar...

I'd hoped it could be avoided as it's a very small simple design thats required. At this stage I'm only asking questions. None taken. Woody has given the only constructive advice so far and it's appreciated. Nobody subsequentlly has answered my question other than - just pay people...

Cheers Woody. I'm hoping to avoid employing the services of an Architect. Reason being, the design is quite simple (bar the position of the stairs - more on that later). I also have the benefit of being able to review all the architectural designs and drawings for similar loft conversions...

A pull down loft ladder. Ramsay is the manufacturers name, sorry. I thought it was a 'hoover' type thing. The guy who wrote the home report thought so too 8)

Cheers for the reply. Could a SE do all of the above? I should have added. The Attic has had a bizarre "storage conversion" done by the last owner. Space has been sectioned into 2 large rooms (floored & carpeted) with Velux windows and a ramsay ladder.

Hi, I've recently bought a semi detached bungalow that I plan on doing a loft conversion on to add 2 more bedrooms (1 en-suite). Many in the area seem to have had similar done and I've looked at planning applications online to look at whats been allowed. I'm a Mech. Design Engineer by...

Nice Job! I'll be starting a similar thing in May. How did you join the plasterboard and aquapanel? Tape and fill with tile adhesive? I notice aquapanel in Wickes is half the size of plasterboard meaning more joints round that shower area. Then you just tile straight onto the boards...
