    Permitted development question

    If the workshop is original (or built before 1948) then this would not be PD because you cannot extend beyond a front wall under PD.

    Permitted development question

    It sounds like your fine provided your PD rights are intact but a picture always helps.

    Support for lights

    Because we're a practical lot usually and when someone just drops a 'computer says no' response we like to delve deeper.

    Amp speaker connection problem

    As an aside, despite old Technics amps largely sounding pretty naff (no offense @ellal ), there's quite a secondhand market for such things.

    Using 9" retaining wall to build garden room

    Something like this would be more suitable, in principle, except add another block width to the bottom so the wall is stepped in width as you go down to your 1.5m depth.

    Using 9" retaining wall to build garden room

    Rule of thumb for mass retaining walls is the width at the base of the wall should be about 1/3 of the height.

    Using 9" retaining wall to build garden room

    Waterproofing structures like this is perfectly possible but meticulous planning, detailing and attention during the build is essential to avoid mistakes. Suggest you do a section detail through the wall/floor to show us how you plan on building/waterproofing it and post it on here for comments...

    Loft trussed roof ideas

    So the truss manufacturer couldn't pop it into his software and let you chop chunks out of their trusses then? OMG that's a surprise.

    A really very silly question - if I may please ?

    I'd be inclined to try a food safe silicone. Seems like the OP may like to continue using it for sentimental reasons, for which its hard to criticize. Some grumpy feckers in this thread.

    Architect drawings / costs

    Drawing packages have their uses, no need if the builder is highly competent and reliable but otherwise they can form the basis of a contract. The forum is rife with people coming unstuck because their contract with their builder is full of holes.

    I would get on the specialist Ford forums or Facebook groups and ask there, rather than here.
