I couldn’t agree more woody. I had all the patter from the e agent about how we should let builders apply (keeping me in limbo). I just thought it would be better for us to try- and at least then it’s only a single plot which is less appealing to a builder. I just was interested in the...

Hi all, So the house hasn’t sold, and we got a new agent in. He admired our reasonable sized plot and mentioned about selling onto developers. Sounds like a long process with them, with them submitting plans etc and can take a long while (years) but they give a retainer of 5 k...not really...

I’ll just register my objection and see where it goes from there. I’m not planting as it’s a parking space there.

Just got your reply. Why should I plant a leylandii....we are south facing!!!!!!!

All very funny and I like a good old fashioned war, but I’d like some serious replies too

I’ve just noted in the photo positions of windows and my front door. W - window. D - door. You can see my house faces his. Effectively as we are, we are up a private drive and not overlooked. This introduction overlooks our front garden, front door, dining room and conservatory

Woody, the property with the red line is applying for 1st floor windows. We are in front, as per the plan, and our dining room and separate conservatory will be in plain sight.... If I were back in the old country (london) I’d have kinda expected it, but we came out and bought a detached...

ok, a provocative title to get all you property and planning aficionados on edge. Long and short. Neighbours house fronts the road. We live down an access road. He wants to put an extension on with a first floor window that overlooks our garden, and looks into our conservatory and dining...

Sorry Ian, I'm very new to this. You suggest mastic as opposed to recreating mortise and tenon?

Would anybody be able to claim a smaller shower room than the one above? And would it pass building regs????

Thanks Ian. Your point about mastic joints, is that the case for when sorting out the old framework??

Hi Ian, Many thanks for your reply. A couple of points I'd like to clarify. Do you not recommend woe hardener and filler? And where there has previously been a mortise and tenon, you'd suggest mastic wood together? Thanks, Mark

Hi there, I'm new to the site and am enthusiatic amateur who bows to the experience of those of you who actually know what your doing. We recently moved into a property with an old railway carriage on the land. This was lived in and has stood in the same spot for 90 years!!! It's...

I'm just starting planning for a kitchen and toilet in an outbuilding we are restoring. It's going to be used for friends, family and holiday lets. Is there a minimum m2 size for a toilet/shower/sink? The dimensions are all very tight and we wish to minimise the space taken up with...

UPDATE I missed speaking to a duty officer, but another planner said that I should apply for retrospective planning..... Does anybody have any knowledge of this??

Thank you for this. As I've explained before, I'm wet behind the ears on this.....what is an enforcement notice??

Mattylad, Thanks for your positive reply... No it doesn't need whole sections replacing. As I stated the wood is teak and is extremely sound. What do I hope to get out of it??? Absolutely nothing but the pleasure of saving a bit of history. I'm not looking for it to be like it would...

Evening all, Here is my project that I've just started, a 135 year old railway carriage! She's looks like age, and I intend (so far as I can) to take her back to gleaming like she would have been in the days of our great Queen Empress Victoria! Needless to say, it'll take a while....new...
