    Stop cock or not for holiday (boiler + thermal storage)

    I have a Boilermate 0V thermal storage and a boiler. Don't know more than this but could investigate. Going away for 6 weeks. I was planning to leave heating on 15 min morning/evening with thermostat at 15C, water on hot all the time. Do I turn off the main stop cock? Would like to minimise...

    Link-detached single-story extension permitted development

    I've done my best to wrap my head around permitted development but still struggling a bit. Is any of this allowed? See image: https://ibb.co/rFkXMSB I don't see why Green box wouldn't be allowed (potentially subject to party wall agreement) but no-one on the street has done it. Yellow may not...
