I hope someone can give me some advice here. We have done our house extension and used independent company to do our drawings etc. For one reason or another our house extension took a lot longer to complete. We just had building control come to look at the house to do final sign-off and she...

we have a plumber who has been doing our house, however he doesn't commit to a finish date and doesn't answer his phone. He turns up once in a a while probably does half days work then leaves. We have paid him for work done but we have also paid him to buy our water cylinder. Which he says he...

he has also only emailed us to ask for a site visit, not via a letter or anything.

as predicted, the neighbours have complained that we have exceeded our time limit. we have done all the structural work as per the plans apart from putting up a privacy fence panel which will be done this week. The enforcement guy wants a visit now. thoughts?

yes it is a bit sad, however if someone is going to go out of their way to make my life a misery then we need to ensure we know where we legally stand with their changes to their property. thanks for the comments.

they will preview the new application before we submit. the senior planner has suggested what we put in, so hopefully it will not be rejected. its a building site- no heating, water, boiler.

i dont see we have any other choice really. we have not been living in our house already for year due to this issue. At least this way we know where we stand even though i still believe we are in the right.

we have to put a new planning application for a flat roof and show how we want our patio. this is the easier option as opposed to keep the pitch roof but then reduce the height apparently. i don't think this has actually address the actual problem that they have passed an application that in...

previous application was with a dormer on the loft, but we then made that PD. we are going to go back to them and ask them how they think we should have measure the 3 metres and from what point, because if the rear extension was under PD it would have been fine, its only because we have side...

no update as yet. they asked for plans as built which we have just submitted so waiting on feedback from them. i will keep you all posted to what the outcome is. our new architect has spoken to some friends at the council and they do think they are being quite harsh on us. Anyway...
