    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...

    Planning Objections

    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...

    Planning Objections

    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.

    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.

    One was a direct neighbour, which she declared and abstained.

    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.

    Planning Objections

    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...

    Planning Objections

    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...

    Planning Objections

    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...

    Here is one where they clearly have sought advice but can't use spellcheck :D Site notices have now been removed twice (not by us), but are not mandatory. We object to this application in its currant form. we feel that it is not inkeeping with the existing dwellings and surrounding context in...

    Planning Objections

    Anyone else face the pain of objections to planning applications based on opinion rather than fact? We are building a new house and have had some lovely comments. One neighbour has described the proposed property as overbearing and an overdevelopment of our site. Their house has exactly the same...

    Are you a top revenue earner?

    Haha, no worries. Take me as an example. I'll modify a saying: "the best time to start investing in yourself was ten years ago, the next best time is today."
