Thank you for that. Yes there is and yes it would all be new. Are you saying we could do without rodding access?

After doing a bit of research, this is the way that I was thinking to do it but that bit under the house would be unroddable wouldn't it? And putting in a rodding point where I've drawn it wouldn't work because there'd be a bit of a bend where it joins the lateral drain - it's not just like a...

It's an L-shaped terraced house. We're have a single storey extension built, filling in the side return and going out by a couple of meters, full-width. The extension goes over the drain. It's a private drain - serves just our house - and then connects in to the neighbour on the right. They...

Thank you Wessex

I've tried that too *Wessex*. The main thing I'm stuck on (please don't laugh) is this: http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/how-do-you-build-right-against-another-wall-side-return-extension.474647/ which I've posted on the Building board and haven't had any replies.

Tony - Thank you. Yours is the approach I've taken so far but I haven't had much luck. I am looking at the Approved Documents too but they are a harder read than other BC drawings. Garyo - Thank you for your kind offer and reminder that BC will tell me if I get it wrong! I will PM you my...

I am just about to get planning permission to build a side return extension right up against our neighbour's kitchen wall like this (boundary on the right hand side): I'm trying to draw the building regs drawings myself, not from scratch, but using a set that I had drawn a few years ago for a...

Is there anywhere that you can look at building regulations drawings for different types of buildings e.g. are they published online anywhere like planning drawings are or are there books of them or websites that publish examples? I'm trying to draw my own building regs drawings, not from...

So my neighbour is just in breach of planning regulations rather than being a clever... err... person! I really don't want to lower the ceiling at a cost of £4k to get 10cm :(

Oops... what I was trying to say is that I thought a finial is the pointy bit on the end of a ridge line, like in this photo: I really expected answers telling me that I was a plonker for thinking it is anything other than the top-most bit of the ridge tile (i.e. the top of the decorative bit)...

Oh thank you but that's not my roof! Ridge tiles are the same though. I thought a finial is

I'm planning a full width L-shaped dormer loft conversion (to an Edwardian terraced house) under permitted development rights and I'm trying to find every possible cm for head room in the main part of the roof as we're right on the 2m threshold that is, for us, the difference between enough and...
