- Damp line along middle of interior wall
  
  By Temp · Posted 50 minutes ago
  
  Is that the electrical supply for the outside light running along in conduit? If I zoom in on the outside photo there appears to be vertical lines where the light is? As if the internal wall is there rather than where your red line is?
- Builder asking me to pay for materials cash to 'save VAT'?
  
  By Temp · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Is this work being done on a house that is and has been empty for 2 or 10 years? Eg so that it qualifies for reduced VAT? If not then I agree you will have to pay the VAT You can't buy the materials without VAT yourself. They can't buy the materials and sell them to you without VAT (if VAT registered). Being VAT registered allows all companies to reclaim VAT. Next time you buy a dishwasher ask the shop if they will knock the VAT off and see how it goes 🙂
- Cavity barriers behind box profile sheeting
  
  By Iceverge · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Can you pull them out until you have enough ventilation space? Maybe when the BC is gone shove something in there like this to stop the bugs.
- Lawful Development Certificate withdrawal
  
  By Temp · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  All I can suggest is that in any new application you address the errors that you think might come up again. I mean without actually referring to the previous report if that's possible. Just work then into the Design and Access Statement or similar. I suppose it depends what the errors were. If it's something like the history of the site then write your own history.
- Planning permission refusal due to creation of 'formalised space'
  
  By Temp · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  I hate to suggest l it but I think I would get a planning consultant involved. It's possible you only needed the planning application to cover the retaining wall and those areas raised more than 150/300mm. I'm not certain but they might argue planning isn't required to lower the top area as it's permitted development.
