    Planning Objections

    All trivial but adds up. The pitch change takes off about 0.4m. we have also set the building lower by 0.15m and reduced the height to the eaves by 0.15m by reducing the upstairs wall height. That, in conjunction with moving the building by 1m should add up to enough to tip the balance (we hope).

    Lower the footings, lower the upstairs ceiling, reduced the roof pitch and move the building by 1m. The ceilings are vaulted so should have no impact really. Crossing our fingers that this is enough.

    Planning officer has now come back and asked us to modify the design as their manager disagrees with their approval assessment. Slightly frustrating :(

    When are you going fully electric?

    Just swapped my Mustang Mach e AWD Premium Tech for an Ionic 5 AWD Namsan. First impressions are very favourable. I do like the Mustang but some of the build and design choices are baffling. Cheapest cargo cover I have ever seen (it's a 60k car!) is just one thing, but it wound me up every time...

    For the majority that seems to be the case. We have made two modifications to appease feedback, notably on the eaves height and a window position, which were easy for us to accommodate. I understand direct neighbours raising questions and concerns, I would likely do the same, albeit with more...

    Case office has now recommended approval. It still needs to go in the circular due to the number of objections, but crossing our fingers it doesn't get called to committee! Definitely good news.

    Heat Pumps: anyone have one/thought about it?

    In the process of having an install in my renovation project. Floor (suspended timber), has been lifted and insulated. We have gone for radiators on a manifold system and a 5kw heat pump with unvented cylinder. Will drop some more details shortly.

    Planning Objections

    Not turned down, still wit the planning officer, decision due in about 3 weeks. I just find it a bit odd. I can't understand how someone on a committee can make a personal objection, given the objection could be seen to undermine the committee decision.

    What do you make of this? Parish Council Planning Committee has no objections, however the Chair of the same committee has separately commented on the application and personally objected.

    Yes, already in hand and I have provided this to the architect. Virtually all complaints are already addressed in our design statement and the architect was diligent at evidencing all building guidelines on size, scale, positioning, privacy retention etc... The good news is that Highways have...

    Time for comments is now closed. 8 objections :rolleyes: This is one: 1. The application values the country feel and appeal of (the road) in keeping with the heritage of the area. Significant amount of vegetation has already been removed from the site and squeezing in a second property...

    We will contract in a builder for the primary structure and I will manage the finishing. Another objection. Snipit: Because of the height and shape, it would dominate the road and corner area and spoil the open view aesthetic to that whole area. The plot is currently surrounded by 60m of...
