• I've not been updating this thread because:

    1. Things have moved at a glacial pace due to the world's most ineffective local government official (big call I know) handling or planning application. At one point even my architect suggested he may be old school and be looking for a brown paper envelope to progress the application. Even after my post 7 months ago it took forever to get the decision but it was finally passed!

    2. I've not been on the forum much.

    So as mentioned above the planning decision finally came and it was in our favour. As my wife and myself have been busy with family/work etc. We decided to wait a while before started building regs approval.

    We started this last week and selected a stuc eng. that our architect knows and recommends and this afternoon I started to dig test pits.

  • Ah excellent! Congrats. We were in a similar position, took us nigh on a year to get permission, getting rid of our architect in the process. We had to get 2x bat 🦇 surveys as well so one of the conditions was installing a bat box. Looking forward to future updates 👍🏼

  • Don't mention the b word!

    It terrifies me as we are near woodland and it's not unusual to see the winged rodents flying around at dusk.
