Unfortunately spot lights and skimmed, cant tell the colour? any other way?

What i mean is, is there a way to check a ceiling has plasterboard that is fire rated? i understand usually before skimmed its seen as pink, but is there a way to check years later. If the board is standard or fire rated?

Good Afternoon i was wondering if there was a way to find out if a ceiling plasterboard is fire rated? (already plastered and painted)

Good Afternoon guys, We are looking to purchase a plot (west yorkshire area), around the halifax/hudds region. What would be the best way to figure the best price to pay for the plot? I have come across the 30% of value of property (once completed) Other ways I have attempted to calculate is using approx £2000sqm (is this even realistic?) for a mid-higher end detached house? Using all methods and if bearing in mind time for build and the headache Methods used Value of end build e.g £800,000 Cost of 250sqm detached = £2000 x 250 = £500,000 If factoring in a 20% profit margin = =800,000 * 0.2 = £160.000 Cost of land must then be? = 800-500-160 = £140,000 ? Is this correct? Am i missing something here? What are current sqm build costs in this region (if anyone knows) Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Good Afternoon all, is it true, i have heard it is best to remove / cut down trees before submitting planning permission? trees are not TPO Also besides the local council tpo website check, is there anywhere else I need to look to confirm the trees are not TPO? many thanks

Hi i was wondering if you knew anything about building in an urban greenspace (plot already has a listed building farmhouse and recent attached annexe) is there a way i can find out if planning for a detached building would be possible (all other issues ie tpo, land measure etc arent an issue) im concerned about the urban greenspace being a problem?

Hi guys anyone that can shed some light is it possible to build in an area that is urban greenspace? plot already has a listed building (ex farm) with an extension attached to it (passed) is it possible to build a detached property on grounds? Ie is urban greenspace an issue?

Thanks guys Much appreciated Where would i be able to find out about CIL?

Hi guys New to the forum, love the content and advice so far. New to self build. I was hoping somebody could help advise. I am in process of potentially buying a plot, however planning approval was given March 2019, with a 3 year expiry. There were some pre-commencement conditions, some of which were discharged March 2022 (within the 3 year period) I understand if a start was made ie excavation, foundations, demolition this would mean planning will not have expired. however, would the discharge of some pre-commencement conditions constitute an enactment of planning?
