How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

Thanks this is really helpful. It turns out most of where I live has a section 4 (however our house is one street outside of it) and a conservation area, we are just outside of that too. So that's a good start.

No-one has had anything similar that I can find in planning if anything, most have the classic ugly square flat roof box straight off the back, and have left the side return, that I can see.

I've found the equivalent residential design guide and for single storey rear extensions close to boundary we can go 3m it looks like.

It's a bit elementary at the moment, but being able to open up the back of the house, fill the side and widen the kitchen would change it from a house we might stay in, into a house we would stay in for good.

Well @dbr made the bed and the boxes with it :) but they had lids, we took them off. Not sure how stuff would fall into them from the bed? and it doesn't get dusty (slide them out and hoover ).
I keep underwear in one, jeans in another and tshirts in another. That's enough to get me started most of the time and I used them every day. I would never not have under bed storage! I also have a two full height wardrobes, a chest of drawers and a big cupboard (+winter/summer clothes storage in top of wardrobe).

I dont have a cat

Best decision ever.

Clearly wrong 😽

I used the Auer boxes in the same way - no lid but dust isn’t an issue as I’d be taking things in and out of them every day. The classic closed boxes just get dusty cause they’re only pulled out twice a year.

Auer euro boxes are good as they have smooth bases so slide on carpet well. Wheels would work too obvs.

Reassuringly getting close to similar volume of storage as me. I probably have more flouncy dresses though. I just wondered whether Auer boxes = euro crates or something particular since they make a lot of different stuff. And I don't know where the dust comes from. It's everywhere. (Yes I do hoover.)

Maybe your cats just not a prick?
Mine is a total prick, even compared to normal cats which are usually pricks.

I have a lot of clothes and shoes.
My wife has even more!

The hardest clothing storage solution is shoes. I have never found an ideal solution. (I have size 12 feet which doesn't help!)

What was the plan of the one de-draft designed a few doors down ? It’s on the planning portal I think.

Fair - was just wondering if it was an option - haven’t looked at section

They didn’t have a bathroom upstairs! They cut the 1st floor bathroom into two rooms like we have but both were bathrooms, one just being a toilet and sink.
Think I’m cool with a macerator now, especially as it means it’ll be easier to run pipes internally (I don’t what shit flumes running round the outrigger).
Looking into nice glazing options, Velfac look a good choice but all ears if anyone has any other suggestions.
Would love a fixed window for the clean lines but not sure how ventilation would work.

Tilt and turn ?

Whatevs really... Velfac ones are just normal side opening numbers. Slim profiles is the important part, alu or wood even.
Think my builder is cool with my eco tile choice now so thats a bonus, slightly panicking something will go wrong but hey hoe.

Misunderstood- you meant fixed as in frameless ? I meant tilt and turn can give you a big single window that tilts/ turns - depends on size tho etc .

I recently had a Cortizo sliding door and fixed pane fitted i my kitchen by these guys

Happy with both. As you mention, slim profile was important to me too.

only way - boring otherwise .
Velfac / Neon LLL / eco tile / birch ply / houseplant explosion / black taps / CORK FLOOR / marmoleum topped desk …. Whaddimiss ?

Ventilation is kind of important, in a loft space, in London. Overheating is going to be an increasing problem.

Nah nah, we are talking the same language. I dont think I can get a tilt and turn in the sizes I want, both about 1mx2m, or am I wrong?

Prob going to be brass taps again, but apart from that bang on.
The misses doesnt like tile floor but until she actually chimes in on this (which she won't until the last min) thats what she is getting.

Zactly. Otherwise I'd go fixed for super clean.

we were struggling with shoe storage in the new extension and ended up buying a metal storage locker.
looks ok in the kitchen but i guess it might be a bit industrial for a bedroom.

Are you standing in my new kitchen/diner????

dunno but - nah thas hooge - vertically that's a large door . I'll stop interfering - you got this babe
