That said now I think about it, an ordinary step ladder can be placed diagonally, kind of straddling the toilet, that's normally allowed me to get close enough to the wall etc. I am considerably more than 68kg unfortunately. :( :p

I too would not stand on a toilet, something like this that fits would do. Or you could knock one up out of some spare timber. Google 'hop up work platform'.

I'm not sure it sets any precedent, AFAIK there are various appeals which have gone either way. So like it seems to depend on which side of the bed the planners get out of it also depends which side of the bed the planning inspector gets out.

Personally I'd just look for another.

You need to do a bit of investigative exposure and find out what the beam is and what is supporting it. We'll await an update .....

For sure but presumably you need similar with AC installation?

Probably a new roof from the middle back, leaving all of the existing rafters in place, so a pitched roof all round as you have now but with a flat roof in the middle.

You need to check what the guidance was that was in place when that application was approved. In anycase precedent doesn't really exist nowadays in planning (especially for domestic extensions) just because something was approved previously does not mean the council are bound to approve the same...

So once you've bought your £1500 EV you have to spend another couple of grand or whatever on a replacement battery?

Perhaps an old Nissan Leaf with maybe a 50 mile range. Sounds great.

Draw a joist/post plan and work it out, it's what we'd have to do to work it out.

For Prior Approval yes provided they don't object. For planning Permission yes provided the Local Plan guidance hasn't changed to the detriment in the meantime.

So ignore my last comment about joining the garage, if you read it, going by your drawing you're obviously keeping a gap between the extension and the garage. Presumably your new extension is joining an existing one? If you can live with 6m deep overall (and the heights are limited as per the...

I have a Latham steel door on my garage, it's absolutely excellent but sounds like it'd be over your budget.
