Hi, I am looking to build an extension to my bungalow and I'm putting plans together now. I'm looking at a 10m x 7.6m extension to house a living room and kitchen, and have a draft floorplan. Kitchen/Diner 5.5m x 7.3m Living 4m x 7.3m The existing 1960s building has regular 8ft ceilings...

or is it ok to buy the block plan, print it and use a pen and ruler to - outline proposed extension - annotate boundary details , eg wall / fence heights - show dimensions , and distances of extension to boundaries etc.

Hi, I'm preparing a planning application for an extension to my bungalow. I've used Sweet Home 3d to create floor plans and elevations which I'm hoping will be acceptable. I've also looked at the map provider sites and getting a location map and marking the boundary in RED seems...

I'm thinking of a 10m side extension , I wouldn't have thought PD would be an option. The bungalow is rectangular in plan view, with gable walls at each end and a simple pitched roof, which has eaves height 3m and ridge height 5m. Ideally, I'd like the walls of extension to be flush with the...

Hi, I have a detached bungalow on a huge plot. It has a rectangular footprint approx 14.7m x 7.35m. Ideally I'd like to extend to a footprint of 24.7m x 7.35m. This would still leave the extension 3.3m short of the boundary to the nearest property, which is perpendicular to mine on a return...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look. In the meantime I came across 'Sweet Home 3D' , easy to install and I've knocked up a quick sketch of my bungalow and first draft of a possible extension in an hour or so.

I'm at the early stage of considering an extension and would like to download a basic tool to test some initial room layout ideas. Any suggestions ? Thanks

There's a BT cabinet about 60m away. There is only a small one on the street view from a few years back , and a larger one like the one in your pic next to it now, following fibre upgrade to the area.

Thanks. No, nothing like that. It is outside a recently built house I'm considering buying. I've looked on google street view which shows the road before the small group of houses were built, and it was there outside an old commercial premises before they were demolished. I was wondering if...

Hi, Could anyone let me know what this is. Is it an issue having one directly outside a house ? Thanks

Hi, I am buying a 3 bedroom terraced house which fronts onto a busy road with a pub outside. The living room and 2 bedrooms are to the rear of the property, with the upstairs bathroom, downstairs cloakroom, kitchen and one bedroom to the front overlooking the busy road. The noise should be no...

Thanks again. Do the integral blinds cost a fortune ?

Thanks. I would like to avoid obscure glass , as I'd like to see/enjoy garden during the day. Probably wanting my cake and to eat it here, but would like to see out during day but not be on show at night. I take your point about the mirror film not working at night. How about the tinting...

Hi, I have a corridor with large area of glass ( 5800 x 1900 ) which is currently an old aluminium frame with blown double glazed units. I am looking to replace it , and the obvious choice is upvc . The corridor looks onto the garden , which is fine during the day, but I'm not keen on the...

Please see image , rather than ascii artwork

Just to revive this thread ........ Has anyone any idea what cost I might be looking at to have a lamppost moved about 4 metres , the pavement is concrete slabs. Would I be allowed to remove the wall behind the lamppost , so that the lamppost was within my open access of about 7.5 metres ...

Hi, I have a bungalow at the end of a cul de sac. The kerb is dropped across the width of house front and there is an existing drive to the right hand side with a wall to left hand side with a lamppost in front of wall. Ideally i'd like a turning space given the location at end of the cul de...

Thanks for that. Just to be clear, it isn't my home. I bought the existing property at auction to do up and sell on, with an eye on the garden as a potential plot. The property is on a council estate where 90%+ of properties are 1950s semi detached houses. Nice solid houses but of modest...

I was thinking of outline PP as I reckon I could do those drawings myself but would probably need some paid help to do full plans for a house. I have submitted my own plans for an extension on another property recently and eventually got through validation but the planning officer kept...
