Yes but i have something to shine a light towards

thanks MRRusty, interesting link, it sort of shows that there is a bit of mileage in my proposals.

A ladder for access, (a loft door where hay was loaded in) For egress if emergency. (leads onto low pitched metal clad roof). When risk assessing do you factor in stupidity, criminality, i mean is a deliberatly started fire factored as a risk also is a deliberatly overuse of alcohol factored as...

leave it out Harry, bit hard on me there, I am opening this up for discussion not blind panic from the conformers. As said I dont ask Planning office or BC for advice opinion as they are so stuck in there thinking, What I propose would have smoke detection and escape (nobody even asked this)...

so does the insure sign off the risk assessment or does this become a bun fight if things go wrong....? My example of this is that to enter the little hayloft (bedroom) is by way of an old oak vertical through a trap ladder...Safe as houses, risk free, ladder access..would I need to get this...

Not sure but will make a comment anyway. The new fencline does not automatically define the ownership your side of it....If for example your neighbour sold up next week the new owners could make a claim on the original size of there garden....although I am not certain of this...but suggest a...

Thanks for your input Johnny, yes I will be taking out PLI, as well as the bunkhouse/Bothy I have other things on my smallholding that will have a public interface.

FMT you are being supportive to me Thanks!!, Not sure how I proceed with this....one rule that seems to hold good is to Never EVER ask the council about regulations.

Apologise I seem to be upsetting viewers. But thanks FMT, yes it is a bit of a funny one, as suggested go rogue, this will what i think I will do.

Not wishing to be antagonistic but on what basis are we saying the building regs would absolutely apply when there is an absolute no chance of building regs applying for bothies, they have many similarities.

My accomodation is for travelers on bycycles who seek basic shelter, which is what I aim to provide a similar but with a few tweaks accomodation model to https://www.mountainbothies.org.uk/ suely no building regs here.

The hayloft is already a place people stay, is this not personal choice and not really againgst any regulation, travellers just hunker down on there carry mat and sleeping bag. I offer shelter for free, But as said are planning to modernise a bit. Anybody able to direct me towards legaslation on...

I have some nice little outbuildings on my smallholding, I am currently doing them up and want to have the hayloft be a bedroom with a ladder access the room below will have basic shower, toilet and cooking, resting facilities, externally nothing changes. My wish for this is that i want to...

You mentioned combined sewer but not looking for a debate however if the house as an historic combined sewer then you can legitemately connect sky water into this, sounds like you do not have porosity for soakaways anyway. and if you do start making connections to sewer pay attention to Back...

Lee youre over thinking it!!

what demarks this boundary?? if you are saying the base would encroach 500mm over then i am assuming your elevation is over the boundary line if the wall thickness is centred on the foundation. what is the superstructure , how many stories high...what about access/scaffold.

Break out the foam, it looks like jablite and acted as perimete insulation at time of orogin, tru and make a clean cut to both screed and conceret edges, line with a visqueen and fill with concrete and trowel off, a tip to troweling concrete is to do it early, but then to keep visiting it...

Sound like this is being over egged!! Regarding the foundation being low in places this is a standard problem with simple solutions... for 10mm I would run the mortar bed (thick) and leave it sit there for an hour before bedding the blocks, equally if you have any access to roofslates (...

Just a reminder from a health and safety point of view, here in mid wales we tend to move our heads and look at the hammer as we strike the chisel, in North wales (anywere above dolgellau) they will look at the strike end of the chisel that your aiming the hammer at. and south of Becon they will...

Mate, If your selling the house, dig deep and get the job done to highest order..Yes a decent brickie, matching bricks and pointing, and toothed out either side of the jams....potential buyers mindset (mine included) is that a persons standard is generally written right through them, A good Job...
