Hi all, I am doing the same detail but with insulation between the slab and screed. How would that detail look? Thanks

A detached garage is to be extended and converted into living accommodation. It is with the curtilage of the existing house. I am pretty sure it would need to be submitted under a Householder Application, but I wanted to check with you. The Council isn't returning calls. Many Thanks

I assumed because it changes to the accommodation rather than an outbuilding.??

Thanks woody. Any ideas about Second part of the question. What happens is if we have lived in the house for less than 21 days?? (certificate a??

Good question. I assumed it would because was a change of use??

Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly harder to contact Councils for advice, and many services have stopped until further notice. I have a house with a detached garage. The proposal is to extend the garage (it will still be separate from the main house) into living accommodation for...

The most I have experienced is 8 weeks above the normal 8 weeks. That was submission to decision. This is something else, validated 12 weeks ago then stopped with nothing in sight.

Thanks for that. The point is that there hasn't been a Public Consultation, or anything, because it hasn't been assigned to an Officer. It has literally been validated (12 weeks ago) and stopped. If they are so far behind, surely they shouldn't be accepting more applications after mine?

I applied for planning in October (Householder). It came back as invalid because the roof lights werent shown as a dotted ling on the ground floor plan(?), but that's not the issue. It was validated in November and I have contacted then (12 weeks later) for a decision but they say .... "Your...

Thanks for the reply jeds. I don't suppose there is any documentation anywhere that says as much?

Hi All I'm trying to make sense of the Permitted Development Technical Guidance. I want to extend my detached house with a 3.6 m single storey rear extension. The garden is 10m to the rear boundary, so 6.4m would be the new boundary distance. The Technical Guidance states 7 for an extension of...

The difference between my house floor and extension floor is 18mm. What is the the most cost effective way to level them up myself? I was going to go for moisture resistant T and G boards as they come in 18mm and are well within my DIY skills. However, its 38m2 and will cost almost £400. Any...

Hi All, I have spent 20 years designing and visualising for architects. Privately, I have done many domestic planning applications for people over that but I want to progress it. I have a really good understanding of Building Regulations and work closely with a Structural Engineer. Over Covid, I...

Thanks for the replies. So an I still right in thinking that under PD, it's a national policy and the 45 deg doesn't apply?

As I understand it, the 45 degree rule does not apply under permitted development, but what about a single storey extension outside of PD? Thanks

No device on mine, you can clearly see from the picture that on it's a keypad, you put a 6 digit code in, therefore nothing to steal. The OP isn't asking if keyless entry is a good decision or not, that can be debated forever. If you like keys, use keys, if you like keyless, use keyless. The OP...

I've only been broken into once, by thieves who managed to take my keys and let themselves in.

You are one of the lucky ones. Most people have been locked out of somewhere at least once in their lives, or have had a panic when they thought they had lost their door key. Keyless entry is very convenient for a lot of people.

Hi All, A potential future project, but I already know I have questions for you guys. Please see attached file which is purely a sketch.... 1. Blue lines - Probably the most obvious when you look at the sketch, what is the best way to address the drains to satisfy BC and the Local Water...
