Yes thats correct.. the fence boarders the boundary of next doors land.. but the wall does not

The wall at a guess is around 1.5m so going on the info in the link i could knock it down assuming it would be mine to do so

Thanks everyone for all your replies Ive attached a picture taken from the title deeds showing properties either side and their boundaries The property in question is unregistered and part of it (marked with green) is being sold off All the properties here are commercial on ground floor and they all have flats above them - both the residents of these flats and the businesses below them get access through the public house (hotel) car park I would prefer to have access through the other side.. however this is an adopted road and not registered. the best way in through this is where ive marked in blue however there is a cobbled wall there and the property is in a conservation area so there would be little or no chance of it ever being removed I guess the only way to this property would be through the pub car park.. and with it sharing rights of access would they stand a chance of success in objecting to my proposed application to change it from B1 to residential? The B1 license was only issued in DEC 2018 and if Im correct it needs to have had this long before then for it to be considered for "Prior Approval Application" process Thanks again legepe

Hi all Couple of questions, Im looking to make a planning application to change a commercial B1 property to residential (property build around 1820) The building has had historically (I think an original door) and still physically has in place the doorway but which leads out to a neighbors driveway - can the neighbor legally object for this access point not to be used? The only other access to the property is through a pub car park, but where other properties have the access.. can this be objected against? Appreciate any advice Thanks legepe

Bummer... Do you know the cost associated with such application?

Ok thanks for that.. its probably flats.. but other option is to split it vertically and create two three story cottages... i guess its no difference when it come to costs of application though

Ok I understand.. does this mean it carries less weight towards being approved?

Thanks i understand that an application would be required.. but i was just concerned the regarding the dates stated in what I had found... (above)

It was a bakery initially I think it was built around 1820.. but before it was approved B1 in December 2018 it was used as an amateur radio club.. the building is not registered with authorities and has no formal title

Thanks a lot Ferdinand... I didnt know this.. The property in question here was only given the b1 license in december 2018.. Do you think because its only just been given the license it would effect the permitted development rights?

Hi all... I've found the following info below with regards to change of use from B1 to C3 n if I'm understanding correctly it is straight forward to get permission. However I don't understand the dates specified. Anyone know if it is usually easy process to get this change of use n why the dates? Many thanks B1 premises have the following permitted development rights: change of use of a property used on 30 May 2013 for B1(a) purposes (or if vacant on that day last used for that purpose) to a C3 dwelling. The change of use must be carried out by 30 May 2019 and prior approval must be sought in relation to transport and highway impacts, contamination risks and flooding risks. change of use to B8 (storage or distribution) for up to 500 sq metres change of use to a state-funded school or registered nursery up to 150 sq metres to change of use to A1 (shops), A2 (financial and professional services) or A3 (food and drink) for a temporary two-year period. Your Planning Department or a planning consultant should be able to advise you on the procedures to be followed to take advantage of this provision. extensions of up to 200 sq metres (50 sq metres for offices), but as the extension must be at least 5 metres from boundaries, these rights can only be used on larger premises. Your Planning Department or a planning consultant should be able to advise further on this provision. the installation of additional or replacement plant or machinery, the provision, rearrangement or replacement of sewers, mains, pipes, cables or other apparatus and the provision, rearrangement or replacement of private ways, private railways, sidings or conveyors, provided it would not materially affect the external appearance of the premises and provided any plant or machinery is not higher than 15 metres or the height of anything replaced, whichever is the higher. the provision of hard surface or the replacement of hard surface. Your Planning Department or a planning consultant should be able to advise on this provision.

Ok thanks for that.. Just trying to understand as much as possible

So long as they don't fully open it wouldn't be a cause to refuse the change of use application to residential

I feel the trouble with it is that it would need to be safe for a child.. n a banister would not do enough to prevent. I need to find out if regs would accept any other solution n they don't give much help without application being filed n I don't have time to do that. If someone could direct me to where the regulations are written I would appreciate

Thanks Dave but not totally sure what you mean with 900mm/1100mm.. at a guess bottom of window to floor is around 450mm

Hi all.. Does anyone know if I would be granted change of use from office b1 to residential for a building with windows as in pic attached Don't have measurements but you can see they're pretty low off the floor It's on the second floor of building Any advice welcome Thanks legepe

Hi all, I am trying to understand what is required in the structural aspects of building dormer extensions - what materials, easiest and most cost effective way... if poss..! I have made a building control application but still havent had first visit from them. I have attached here 2 photos and a PDF plan showing the current layout and my proposed layout. The red lines on the plans are the current supporting beams but the ones nearest to exterior walls will obviously need to be removed. How can i support the roof/floor.? what will the building control require? Can anyone please advise Thanks a lot legepe cawood milica.pdf

Hi all, Been a while.. Ive just come accross the pics i posted on here quite a while back.. I just wanted to thank everyone for all the input regarding sorting out this house.. Heres a couple of pics.. been finished now a while.. and its been lived in again. :)

I double checked with bso this morning and he confirmed to me that it would be ok to leave a channel around the parameter of the floor for pipes/wires if need be.. I was unsure if I did this would i have to increase the 100mm of concrete but he said it would be fine. I am aware regarding the additional costs involved in finishing the floors, but Ive already made my mind up that it is the best thing to do... Hopefully.. about other post.. the bso also said it would be fine to extend the joists, and all the builders that ive had to look at the works required at the property have said that the bow in the wall is nothing to be worried about.. Thanks Russell for your post though..

it does have the original slate dpc and there are no signs of rising damp however, I understand that if you block off all the air flow with hardcore and a plastic membrane covering then the moisture in the ground will either stay there, or if allowed, create more chances of it working its way into then up the brickwork... I know you have already said that you dont believe injection works... but I have used this several times now with success.. so i will inject into two mortar lines.. and I would think that any rising damp will not get through (i know the best way is to cut out the mortar and insert a new dpc.. but I ant gonna do that..!)

i will have a look when Im authorized to sign in... Im waiting on approval... The house I live in is around 20 years old and has a concrete floor with insulation and under that is rubble. Its built on clay In my mind I'll be applying the same principle to a house that is older... just because im blocking up air flow through the sub floor I cannot see how this can effect the footings of the house that are already sitting in wet clay underground...???

wouldnt the bso have said something if by me concreting it could cause problems... It was my general reasoning for getting in a bso... and then it can be signed off

House is roughly 100 years old.. built on clay... whats the solution if dpm injection cream doesnt work...?

The only thing I didnt ask the bso because Im replacing a wooden floor with laying concrete, whether its a requirement to inject the walls with a dpc cream?

yeah, me too...! at least it can never rot... price wise there is very little difference either.. and that would have been me doing all the work with footings, sleeper walls, joists and T&G, It would have taken me much longer too.. with the concrete method, Ill do everything apart from laying the concrete..
