that would be a no from me there is plenty of land in the uk --the reason land prices are expensive is everyone wants to be in the same place -thats not a reason to support land prices for some you can surcharge holiday homes --not sure how you do that -which would help in some areas just spread the population out we have seen how so many people can work from home - ear marking --could only work if there was a clause which says all owners in future must work and live with in the area --not enforcable there is a very radical idea --build council houses ???-which can never be sold to tennants -- Subsidies for in fill and brownfield self-builders.--why just self builders ?----do they have to be BAME and or LGBT as well .LOL thats how mad equality is getting now

sounds force majeure to me

you just have to pass it on its not as though you can stock pile plaster -cos it goes off

just speak to them -- he didn,t get anybody to do it --he did it himself --so maybe his idea of expensive was tainted

most ICF makers tell you to get an "s" bend at the end of the pump line and at 100mm dia --to restrict the angry elephant effect the S"" bend is to slow down the muck coming down that very long boom and therefore cut down on hydraulic effect on the wall

uk agent is in glasgow and they also build-- so thats pretty local

yep talk to isotex man --you can pour to first floor in one go |I am guessing you looking at italian video norebar needed for UK --no earth quakes our blocks are different than thiers -speak to insul hub UK

and lots of expense to them to find sonmething the council will accept you make it sound like they haven,t invested large amounts of money over long periods to get the result they want the will have and probably done something for the community .like a new play park or something to make it happen when you find a new way to change how the world works we would love to know

ok so what you you consider the right price for a 3 bedroom home should be , if building from scratch to all modern building codes £ 50k -100k-200K -then price of land most people will have to spend a good portion of thier life to pay that off whats your solution

izodom2000 also supply curved sections ot your spec

especially where that is not as though barratt homes isvgoing to want to build an estate

I understand that only too well which is why we have planning telling you what you can and cannnot build . @RichC was wanting no planning control -so anyone can build anything anywhere --which is where the tinker comparsion came from ,cos thats what you would get if you did away with planning and building control

I definatley think we ought to use brownfiield sites first --but that croft would not fall into the catagory for brownfield , but yes i would let anyone rebuild any ruin to modern spec but i,m not planning dept that would definatly be in the abandoned section i think and has "returned to nature "

so i buy house next to green belt and half the price isdue to its view of land that cannot be developed and you as some sort of hippy tinker want to build next to me I,m an individual --so what about my rights and devaluing of my house . the system has its flaws but you basic idea of being able to build anything where ever you want is just not viable or fair to the rest of the community but I do agree the PP put tooo many constraints on the style of a building an indivual wants to build on his own land and seem ot refuse designs ,just because they are not in keeping with others aorund same area. here they have a prevalence for limitng new builds to one and a half stories - even if there is no one that can over look the house .individuality should be encouraged . only way you get 2 storys is fi you are replacing one that was that way before 2 storeys should be encouraged even if only on the grounds of evironmental damage -and energy usage bungalows are not an efficent usage of roof and foundations same as earth shelterd should be -but I have seen 2 of these refused here smae goes for insisting on wooden sash and case windows in old"b" listed buldings-wood will never last like modern materials especially when you can get wood grained pvc at a fraction of the price and if the old wooden ones were painted --why should you use wood ,cos you can,t tell the difference when its painted

because they are trying to build on green belt which is for agriculture -so it must be viable to comply I don,t make the rules or even agree with them sometimes,

thats the point ,you need to make them good fit -time consuming, or they will loose insualtion value as well as being leaky which is why alot go for bats as they more tolerant of fit any holes in membrane need to be sealed as would electrical boxs etc --any penetration of membrane

Is there not something you can get like car body underseal,but not bitumastic ,as that would melt foam maybe builders foam would do ,but would be very messy i think that you could just spray all the gaps and joints with a shutz gun .seems like a gap inthe market if no one makes something very quick to to do I would worry that foil tape over time might come away from the studs you stick it to-

looked no link to PP-so it does not have FULL PP --just you can reapply --good luck with that

got a link? --to see what they allowed , out of interest certainly no chance down here of getting PP on that

If you paying men to do it - maybe spray in foam insulation might be a good alternative I was quoted £30sq m for closed cell foam sprayed in for equivalent of 140mm PIR -open cell is cheaper -that would be after first fix -job done in a day usually and it will make house totally air tight -which is not certain with other types get a quote would be my suggestion ,unless you already bought all the insulation might be an option

I was considering the quarry as a fish farm + holiday chalets --that would cut it and then build another house at top of quarry as "managers house". with same views as my one lots of ideas --just not enough time and money

planning use 30 acres as minimum land required to be economically viable as a general rule now in my area in scotland no doubt if you going to have battery chickens that might cut it down a bit, but the"good life" with 5 acresof crap ground will not get you PP round here you need to prove it will be commercially viable if you PP on those terms and you need to show a NEED to have people on site --so a big "tattie field " won,t cut it

you could buy as sips panels ? thinner layer of PIR between existing OSB and sips panels -mechanically fix no problem you can buy 200mm sips panels ,so maybe one layer of them is enough? and you know my view on edpm after seeing the holes crows pecked in it on a flat roof where they brought up bits of food to eat it GRP all the way for a flat roof

this is the usual gobal type statement that has no meaning in reality to the most of the uk we don,t have the prairies or the stepps of russia or the very small agricultural systems of so many under delveoped 3rd world countries
