Yes sorry I do agree, my letter in reply to the council mentioned no personal things at all as I know it means nothing. Just some of these objection letters were personal and it has narked us as we have done absolutely nothing wrong. But I agree it is best to say nothing to anyone. After...

Some funny replies :lol: I have decided to go ahead with the existing plans anyway.

Thanks for the advice Richard. I have actually been in touch with planning and viewed the objection letters. They are embarassingly bad to say the least. One of them actually says from a sad neighbour across the road that Mr & Mrs X use their drive as a patio as it is a great suntrap and has...

Maybe have a little grumble, but certainly not involve other people that it does not involve, we just do not have the face or cheek for that. I am a little younger and more open minded, if people want a view they should pay for it and not live on a housing estate. Also the view is of houses...

I cannot see the right to light bothering this, as the proposed extension is the width of their garage and 2 access paths from the window in question. Also it is not coming forward that much, this woman thinks it is but believe me it isn't. If the right to light is a problem that is fair...

Yes I have heard that they are a lot more lenient these days. Building set back from the building line is not an option as it would make it far to small and not worth doing. I should add that going out backwards is also not an option as I would have to extend the retaining wall from this old...

I recently got some plans drawn up for a 2 storey extension to my existing 2 bedroomed semi detached house. I am wanting to do away with the garage and extend the house the width of the existing house and come foward 1.5 metres on both stories for the extension only. I am also wanting to take...

Ok thanks for you help mate, great advice very much appreciated :wink:

I have recently split with my partner which was quite a nasty affair :roll: Anyway I really want to change the lock in the front door, as she did eventually return the key to me, although she may of got one cut. The thing is I was wondering if replacing the lock or the barrell or whatever can...

Ok cheers mate I will try a battery and monitor it, it does have a Yuasa NP2.1-12 12V 2.1 Ah battery, I was just going to get the same.

My house alarm has started playing up. It is about 10 years old, has 3 zones etc, and a back-up battery. Last night it went off for nothing even though it was not set and the "Tamper" light was illuminated. I could not get the stupid external siren to stop until I killed the power to the alarm...

I have just had a kitchen installed and I have forgotten to put in a point for the gas hob ignitor. I have an electric oven by the way. I was wondering would it be possible to take a spur off the cooker connection and run some 2.5 mm twin and earthed into a fused switch with a 3 amp fitted...

I am getting a new kitchen fitted a week on Friday. My kitchen is not that big. Anyway I removed the tiles and it has damaged the very thin layer of finishing plaster. I do not want to tile again as I really dislike them, and was just going to get a trim put around the same material as the...

Thanks for the help guys, very much appreciated and very very helpfull :wink:

Bit of a stupid question really but I am having trouble wih a curtain pole I just put up, one of the wooden ones with the hoops around it to hook the curtains on to it. It is not very long maybe about 4 feet and is fixed at either end. The problem is that the plaster is really soft and pretty...
