The inverter and other losses might reduce that by 50%? Call it 100 WH ? Draws 10 to 40W. Depends on disc activity. Top end of that range if recording video? How are the cameras powered? Also off the UPS via POE hub? So I would predict somewhere between 2 and 10 hours at most.
  2. +1 Would help to know more about why you want to build a "caravan"?
  3. Ah I think the hole for the door knob will be wrong height if you turn it upside down.
  4. Can you turn it upside down? Does that work or do I need another coffee? Failing that most good glass merchants can make shower doors to fit any opening you have at a price. Measure carefully though.

    Don't laugh!!

    I used switches to detect the doors being opened and turn on lights. Helps remind people to shut then.
  6. Seems that's because the mhra are doing a rolling review.
  7. Last I heard Moderna one of the other vaccine makers had applied to US and EU regulators for approval but NOT the UK.
  8. If you can afford the time then I think I would also go for a knock down and rebuild. Your situation is somewhat unique in that they are already allowing the external appearance to be significantly changed by removing the cladding. I think the key to a new application would be to argue the end result would be identical to the conversion already permitted. So avoid any temptation to change the design at the same time. Perhaps even use the same drawings. Ideally find an appeal that allowed a similar case and submit it with the application. I'd like to think the planners could turn this around in 8 weeks but depends how pedantic they are.
  9. And..
  10. More emails disclosed in The Times today..
  11. Ok so things are a bit clearer. If you decide to press on with the frame then... The SE clearly believes the steel frame needs some sort of under pinning. Thats kinda a separate decision to the floor make up. You could go back to the SE and ask if more conventional strip foundations can be used to underpin the frame together with a beam and block floor. Some sort of decision needs to be made about the ground level outside. Either leave it high with tanking (how?) or excavating down and perhaps putting a French drain around the outside. I'd suggest both issues should be discussed at a meeting/zoom call with you, the SE, Architect and builder. It might be they have good reasons for suggesting the existing design, if not then the outcome should be a decision that either the Architect or SE should produce a revised foundation design drawing that takes into account both issues.
  12. If you decide to apply to knock down and replace I think it would be important NOT to claim this is "necessary" as that could undermine your Permitted Development. Class Q buildings have to be "capable of being converted". Better reason would be that it allows a greater level of insulation.
  13. Beam and block is really just a floor system. The castle raft them sounds more like underpinning for the frame or have I got that wrong.

  15. Just for info this is what I was referring to. https://www.kingston.gov.uk/news/article/1033/cambridge_road_estate_residents_back_neighbourhood_regeneration_plans "On a turnout of 86%, 73% of eligible residents have backed plans to regenerate the estate"
  16. Huh? This isn't about people coming to the UK from outside the EU. Its about British people being unfairly treated compared to EU nationals. . If you are worried about immigration to the UK from outside the EU you probably shouldn't have voted fot Brexit. As I understand Brexit is and will make it easier to come to the UK from outside the EU. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52752656 "UK migration: Net migration from outside EU hits 'highest level' https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/work-visas-and-migrant-workers-in-the-uk/ "For the first time since 2006, the majority of people moving to the UK for work are from non-EU countries, accounting for 56% of all work migration in 2019."
  17. More Brexit madness... If you are an EU national and live and work in the UK your spouse and any children you have will still be allowed to join you in the UK after Brexit. No need to meet any particular immigration rules. I've no problem with that. However if you are British and married to an EU national you won't be allowed to return to the UK after Brexit. Well you can return but you spouse and children will have to meet the strict immigration rules including those relating to jobs and salary. So we are discriminating against British nationals.
  18. Unfortunately Google says they consulted residents earlier in the year and they voted for the regeneration.
  19. Regarding the valuation. Surveys say (and my own experience) is that buyers don't value PV even at the original 44p rate. However there are companies that will buy your FIT. They won't if they know about the impending compulsory purchase but they might make an offer you can use to argue the value should be higher.
  20. Larger fans are quieter than small ones if the airflow is the same. I mean if the flow rate in m^3/hrs is the same. Its because the larger blades can turn slower and still achieve same airflow.
  21. The middle of the hedge or one side of it? According to the Guide to the Party Wall Act.. In general they are entitled to cut back a hedge to the boundary so it matters where the boundary is in relation to the hedge. Is it one side, the middle or the other side. If they cut it back further than the boundary they are potentially in the wrong. I don't believe they need planning permission for the fence as long as it is <2m above unaltered ground. It looks like your side is the unaltered side and they dug down on their side to build the house.
  22. The biggest problem is running out of energy... just paint it all magnolia and we'll worry about it later.
  23. If not too late.. http://www.screwpilebasesystems.co.uk/2-uncategorised?start=12 "As the screwpile does not require any earth removed during installation the need of a party wall act can be eliminated, as you are not undermining your neighbour’s foundation."
  24. If he has already sold the downstairs flat go knock on the door and ask if they had a survey done and was a lintel mentioned?
  25. Is it worth asking Building control if they have a record of work being done on the ground floor flat. It doesnt look as if there has been any movement.
