My understanding is that the LDC would confirm that the proposed extension is "allowed" and covered by permitted development, meaning planning permission is not required? My intention was to get the LDC, get some building control plans done, go through building control as needed and not worry...

So just had an LDC refused as development not allowed under Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015: (j)the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and...

Cut one of these down recently, not too hard depending on the tools you have at hand... Cut vertically down the panel to the width you require (obvious!). Wreck the rest of the panel to obtain a usable upright and fit that to the TOP of the narrower panel you intend to re-use - all your...

It's the first real brick wall I've built so don't worry it will have plenty of shape to it :eek: As Ian said, will go with 18" high returns and try to tie in somehow to every other fencepost even if it's only with a long screw into the mortar line. Must remember they're there though and not...

Still going on about my intended 2ft high wall to create raised flower beds! As per the attached: intending to build a 2ft high single skin brick wall to create a raised bed against a fence that has 2ft high concrete gravel boards at the base. One wall about 3m long to a corner, other wall...

Thanks for the advice, 12" concrete foundation going in deep to hit the clay - too much messing around at that depth to get gravel boards level enough to be usable. Now for a new post with next stupid questions...

Going to take a stab at some bricklaying and after a bit of advice please... Will be building a 2ft high single skin wall to create a raised flower bed in the garden, research points to a pretty standard concrete foundation anything up to 600mm deep. Thing is I have a load of 6" concrete...

Common sense (or rather his wife bending his ear) won the day and used the existing fence posts :) Before and after if anyone cares lol

Agreed Woody, once you pointed out the PWA was irrelevant, I realised it was irrelevant :) Spent 10 minutes altering the template letter and printing it, time well spent if my unintentional bluff smooths the way so to speak.

Thanks for the replies, Woody may well be right here as Section 3 of the leaflet I linked does actually say "This does not include such things as wooden fences". Just tried reading the actual act and got to the second page before giving up! I guess I do need some sort of 'cover my ass'...

Hello, So I've got a semi (lol) with a panel fence in the back garden along the boundary with my adjoining neighbour. I thought a previous owner (family member) had installed the concrete posts and fence panels around 30 years ago, neighbours says they installed. Neighbour has definitely...

Not really a DIY disaster but a bit of an interesting find whilst digging a trench out in the garden: Been like this for at least 20 years, upstream of the plastic is the guttering coming off the roof, downstream of the clay is sewerage...understandable now why the faint whiff of sh*t every...
