I have recently changed a couple of radiators and have read that I may need to top up the system plus replace corrosion inhibitor. I was all ready to go using the filling loop as read on various forums until I looked at my boiler and it doesn't look the same. I have a very old combi...

On a separate note, just received refusal in writing. They make reference to the extension having a width greater than half the width of the 'original dwellinghouse'. How they calculate this...would it be half the width of my house and garage combined i.e this measures 6.4m and therefore I could...

So in terms of 'loss of immediate outlook...high fencing wouldn't solve this?

I'm not denying its a side wall and yes I've seen the picture. For me, I had assumed a side extension would be needed when increasing the overall width of a property footprint not when just utilising 'internal space'.

I can't see how it's a side extension either. Apparently if I leave a gap big enough between garage wall and extension wall to have guttering, then it would just be a rear extension but I'd never be able to maintain the guttering or the brick work due to size of gap.

Yes, it's a semi detached property. The extension would be 0.5m off the boundary line

Because although no objections from my neighbour, officer said they would turn down planning application due to 'loss of immediate outlook'...I don't suppose putting a 6ft fence down the boundary first would help?

How annoying....if I too decided on the 'conservatory' route, would this become a problem if I decided to sell etc or with building control?

Thanks for that. How have people used the wall for conservatories then? Have they just 'got away with it' as only having 3m from rear and not needing to notify planning?

have recently had a prior notification approval refused for my rear extension. My garage is attached to the house and offset, thus providing a side wall to the proposed extension. Officer says that this is classed as a rear and side extension and therefore refused based on the build being more...

Will I need to make changes to the pipe work?

The radiator only.

It's a radiator on the landing. Currently a single rad with thermostatic valve! That's as far as my knowledge goes! Lol

I'm hoping to change a radiator which has been in the house since it was built. The old radiator measures 571mm width x 609mm height. What size new radiator should I be looking at? :shock: Many thanks Jodie
