They are trying to apply for "prior approval" planning which is cheaper. Just say a 3m extension would be more suitable for a property of that size and garden (which is the limit of permitted development). -
We are terraced houses in Hertsmere (only about 5m wide houses). and I got a notification from council stating they want a 6m single story extension - basically taking up their entire garden. I responded immediately stating I'd like more information because i'm otherwise concerned, but would also be happy if all was within requirements and guidelines. I next found out their planning was rejected. My neighbour made contact to help with another issue in my house caused by their work and in my response I said thank you and i heard their permission was rejected which was a shame and "if theres anything i can do to support let me know" I was then contacted by his architect... During this phone call I felt uneasy that his architect kept insisting the plan was fine and I shouldn't have a problem with it. At this stage I did resist a little and say "why don't you apply in a way the council approves it". I called council to learn that they did a neighbour consulatation scheme and although my email was a bit woolly (I didn't feel I was really objecting), it was enough for council to reject it. I also found out that text msg I sent offering support was sent on to the council after rejection. I felt a bit betrayed. They have applied again in the same way... and been contacted by the architect to "support" because its "within permitted development". Questions - 1. Can they not apply "normally", where councils make decisions and I'm not under pressure. I have no expertise in the impact of this. 2. Are they pressuring me or coming to me because they know the council wouldn't otherwise approve their plan because its too extreme? The house depth currently is probably not even 6m. 3. Is the way they are treating me unfair? I feel like responding to council in same way I did last time. -
This is snagging and should be undertaken by the seller under warranty. It can be caused by uneven or incorrectly fitted joists, shrinkage, lack of support for the boards (such as additional noggins required) or insufficient plasterboard screws.
-
I have a couple on my build which I sorted myself but snagging is usually the builders responsibility (well I would have done if I was the builder). -
The issue might be uneven joists? If the PB is not flat to the joist when screwed, the screw will bend the PB towards the joist. It will sit there like a wound up spring, and movement as someone walks above may pop the screw through the board. It may not be the plasterers fault.
