Hi all,
We are trying to decide whether to extend or not. Obviously the decision will be mostly down to cost (even a rough estimate for now will do), but also on what will be possible in terms of layout (drains & sewers to consider) and what will most likely be allowed by planning.
The extension won't come under 'permitted development'. I have phoned planning but they weren't helpful at all and just talked over me the whole time.
The dilemma is how do we go about finding out the answers to our questions without getting proper plans drawn up?
Surely no builder or architect would give their time or help for free at this stage?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks.
