If you don't have any drawings of the existing building, then you need to create them. You can only use drawings that you own the rights to. If you don't own any then you need to carry out a measured survey and draw them up - or employ someone like me who has the necessary expertise and can do it for you.

@ That’s great Do they need to be to scale? The estate agent has suggested I can use their floorplan but it’s not to scale Thanks

The quick and simple answer is that PD requires the same materials to be used in the extension as the original building. But there is more to it of course, because it's planning legislation!! I'll be happy to go into it in more depth with you in a consultation call and help you out with more specific project advice. You can book one here: hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/5c3747e093578b4bd89dbbdf

I don't understand your question. please clarify.

I don't understand your question. Please clarify.

Some new build homes are given permission to be built but with PD rights restricted. This is something you need to check with your local authority for your home.

Not always. This can be a bit variable. It's best to check with your local council to be sure.

@@iarchitect thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

Great to hear!

Glad it helped

Yes potentially. Are you more interested in PD as it relates to conversion from commercial to residential? At the moment I'm working mainly on videos that explain PD as it relates to alterations to residential property.

Yes interested it PD that relates to residential property owners. Particularly interested in land forward of the front elevation. Also interested in outbuildings in the rear garden

If you'd like to book a consultation call I can take you through it and answer any specific questions you have: hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/5c3747e093578b4bd89dbbdf

Check what the indemnity covers you for - you need to know the specifics of that. Check if asking building control about it would invalidate it - it might not and then you could find out more. Getting sign off / regularisation might be easy if its built in accordance with approved plans - though finishes may need to be removed and reinstated, and possibly rectifying works, which could be costly - this work should be covered by the insurance but you need to check. It may have been signed off but no completion certificate issued - which will remove the problem.

It depends what result you want to achieve. If you'd like to discuss your options I'll be happy to chat through them with you. I offer a consultation call for £97. You can book that here: hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/5c3747e093578b4bd89dbbdf

Yes potentially I could help. I submit planning applications when I've also designed the project. In that case you can book a 15 min call with me here to start the process: hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60533ef90797bb65a5027955 If you already have the design and you just want help with the application then I would suggest you contact a planning consultant - someone who only deals with planning matters and doesn't design. Hope this helps.

That's great. Are there any topics of video in particular that you're most interested in?

@@iarchitect Yes, maybe small home office ideas.

I love it! Sticking your flag in the sand! 😂

I'm not a legal expert, but as far as i understand it, the owner of the property is ultimately responsible for building regulations to be met, however, it may be possible that your contract with your contractor may make them at least partially responsible. It is a criminal offence not to comply with building regulations, however the regulations documents are guidance only so you can take alternative approaches as long as you can prove that they create an equivalent result.

Glad it helped. Yes it is quite a lot of effort to go through just to build a pergola!! Best of luck with your project.

Yes you're right - I've been considering an updated video. A few things have now changed, though it's mainly the OS map which is now easier.

@@iarchitect and the whole thing on Biodiversity Net Gain now. Thank you for giving me the confidence to submit my own planning application- you were the only place that gave me the confidence I could do it! I’m quite proud of myself!

Only if its not within permitted development (PD). If it meets permitted development rules then you don't need planning permission for a porch. This depends on the location which affects PD - for example conservation areas usually have restricted PD, and it depends on the design of the porch - so the size and materiality of it may or may not comply with PD requirements. The best thing to do is call your planning department to check, or if you can't get through to speak to a planning officer then you could book an advice session with a local planning consultant or architect who could potentially advise you.

Come on lad, don't expect to get everything you want for free! ;) This video is made for homeowners who have to complete a CIL form even for planning applications for minor house extensions. If you have a larger housing development and you want help from an architect then feel free to get in touch.

Thanks. I appreciate your advice.

@@iarchitect If you want I shall help you with proper SEO, Thank you

Thanks Remi! I'm not surprised that you share the same great taste in brilliant cars!!

you are very welcome :)

Thanks! Appreciate the compliment

Hi! Sorry to hear your planning permission was refused. It is much more likely to be accepted when you get a professional to help you as they will make sure all the correct information is submitted. There are two different types of site plans that you need for a planning application - a site plan and a site location plan. Sometimes you can use the same plan for both - I often do this. You can buy site location plans from various places to use for planning applications - search for OS map for planning permission and lots of options will come up. You can also get a surveyor to survey and draw up a site plan specifically for you. The OS site location plans that you can buy don't tend to be as accurate as a surveyed site plan that you commission yourself, so you may need both depending on the situation.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes some similarities perhaps between prefab and machine like efficiency. Though perhaps more in the construction process than the customised space that is easier to live in - that machine-like efficiency for functional and pleasurable that is meant by the phrase.

You're welcome. What did you find more useful?

Please clarify your question.

I have shown how to complete this form for homeowners only, in a standard situation for a typical house extension. If you have a different situation then this video has not been created for that in mind.

It can be tricky to extend forward, but it is sometimes possible. It's one of those case by case basis things. There are some things that make it more likely that you'll get permission, and some things that are PD unless PD doesn't apply. I'll pick this question up and answer it for you in another dedicated video at some point... Yes I am UK based - and I work remotely so cover the whole of the UK not just my local area.

Hi! I've addressed your question in this weeks Q&A section of the podcast. You can view or listen to that here: th-cam.com/play/PLyL1JqFVTPDqXCF_zOEPsOuPjXpDSmMm1.html Hope this helps.

I'm glad you found it useful to question 4 at least!

I don't understand your question. Please can you clarify?

you're welcome, glad you found it useful

You can choose approved inspector (private) or council building control department. In some areas private is quicker. I would recommend quality over speed as your safety is more important.

Thanks for your comment. Hope it helped you.

you're welcome - hope it helps

It's so nice to hear from a young man who takes notice of what his grandparents say and do. Feel free to share any more energy saving tips and tricks you've picked up from them in the comments here.

thank you

Yes that's a great idea!

It's a great idea to reuse something that would otherwise be thrown away, or composted. Wool is a great material and has several really good properties. There is just one thing that I'd be wary of and that is that moths are very partial to wool! So it's a good idea to seal it in to stop moths and critters getting into it! Watch the upcoming shorts on sealant and tape to help with that.

@@iarchitect duly noted! Thanks 😊
