I'm no expert, but I seen this a lot in Grand Designs, I doubt there was any sympathy for the stone and the internal walls were a standard plastering

Hi all, I have inherited my 2500sqft plus family home, it's an old stone farm house, recently renovated in 2000 with new roof, electrics and plumbing, but unfortunately still a very cold house/ with damp issue. Any way is there any experience making this kind of building more renewable and warmer. I was thinking of underflow heating etc but maybe this is too costly and better making it more 'air tight'. The windows are double glazing but poor quality.

Hi I have had Full planning permission confirmed in Northern Ireland. The house is 2400 sq ft and the size was based on pre covid prices. Unfortunately in todays economy I couldn't build this. The sq ft size of house will need to be reduced massively. Will this mean a completely new submission of plans.

Planner had requested an ecology report and then road service were concerned about new access to an existing agricultural field.

Thanks Kelvin for your input, greatly appreciated

Hi Kelvin did the new amendments have much more financial implications for you ie planning fees

Yes that's it, he sent me plans to approve and I noticed they weren't how I visualised them and needed changed. He said OK he'd amend it to meet my wishes and send on (wrongly it seems)

The submission was in January, it's stil being considered

@Duddayou seem to know your stuff. I see my architect has submitted a proposed site plan to planning (stage 1 I believe of the process). The site location is OK, but the positioning of the house is not what I agreed, it facing the wrong direction slightly, it basically need rotated slightly to face the landscape views. Can this be changed or is it too late. Many thanks

Hi I see my architect has submitted site plans to planning. I have noticed that the proposed house is facing the wrong direction. We discussed this in detail so I'm a bit confused as why it's not implemented as agreed. It's only a slight difference, but important to me, it really needs rotated maybe 30 degrees on the same location. Is this not reversible at this point?
