If that is the case why are there so many posts relating to PD? We can't all be idiots...I realise that my two Degrees and my engineering work in Formula 1 don't qualify me to interpret PD rules ....but hey it should be easy understand..... after all what we are talking about boils down to...

Hi I did not go ahead with the original purchase.......too much hassle and a complete load of nonsensical planning rules. I don't know what I expected and I don't think I will live long enough to find out. Buy a bigger house or become a banker or an MP, then life will become easier and...

In my case the side and rear extensions were not touching either...just a small gap. I have now decided that I can make the rear extension 1m narrower and leave a maintenance gap between them so this problem solved. I am aso considering add ing two huge conservatories on either side...

Hi Woody Thanks for the advice. Ideally I need to excavate around 2m deep to form a level base on sloping ground, the garage is under 30m2 But I was told by a friend that the excavation would need PP as it was engineering works even though the garage did not require PP. Just cannot find a...

Hi Can you quote for fitting just the zinc on an 80sqm roof in Cornwall Thanks ....... [email protected]

Hi Does anyone have a lead to a reference document stating what constitutes engineering works? I am trying to ascertain if excavating to level a base for a detached garage under PD requires PP Or conversely does building up ground to level a site constitute engineering works...

Hi Thanks for your reply perhaps we could keep in touch and compare notes Two heads are certainly better than mine. I don't give a stuff about tidy, looking at some of the 'approved' abominations in our area, anything I propose will be superior as I have to live here and look at it every...

My thoughts were to attach the side extensions at the shortest side of the dwellinge then miss the rear extension by building 2 parallel walls 50mm apart: one being the continuation of the side extension rearwards and the other the side wall of the rear extension thus providing a side extension...

Hi to all, Thanks for the replies.........very helpful. I had been using an out of date version of PD so my plan was flawed....however.....due to the internal layout being very flexible could I seperate the rear extension from the side extensions by say 50mm ....would that be unlinked (is that...

Hi My dwelling house is 8.1m wide x 3.0m deep detached and is single storey with a flat roof which is 2.8m at the highest point with lowest eaves at 2.5m The principal elevation is the longest elevation fronting the highway. There is at least 10m to the highway and 45m in all other...

Brilliant info folks thanks a lot I will sleep a little more easily tonight and wake up ready to interpret the PD rights that will apply to this site.....roads on 3 sides and bridleway on the other...although 3 are a 'substantial' distance away...however that will be interpreted...in relation to...

I am unwilling at the moment to ask the planners as the site has chequered history ...occupied lawfully since 1920, illegally refused LDC by planners originally....appealed succesfully by the then owner (who was chair of the Parish council) The plot is designated as an area of great...

Hi 'woody' Thanks for the reply. I cannot see any mention of a permenent order, is there any way to find out, other than the permission document. tp

Hi All, Help? I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I am going over an old topic...however this may be a new twist. I have just purchased a site which has an existing single storey 3 roomed dwellinghouse and an LDC for two thirds of the half acre site. The previous owner applied...
