I have full planning application approved with all conditions discharged if that's what you mean. I wouldn't expect any guidance on building from my bco and I am a builder so know quite a lot of regs already. I just wondered if it's mandatory to have regs on the drawings when building a self build , in this case a complete detached dwelling?

Hi MAB , Are you saying that you did building regs drawing for bco and is this mandatory? I've got an architect asking for £3750 just to add regs to my already approved by council drawings. Am I right in saying I can crack on without the architect and as long as I build to regs then bco will be happy without me using regs drawings? Also the link you added is a godsend, Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I'm at the point of getting all planning fully approved with conditions discharged and ready to go. I am in Salford Manchester area and have permission to build a small detached dwelling on a large corner plot. A couple of questions to get going :- I Have contacted electricity northwest and they have quoted me £2300 to connect me from middle of road to my house once it is built. Can I use an independent contractor in the hope of getting a better price and am I ok going electric only without gas or is it mandatory to have both? Also I am having a lot of trouble getting a gigabit offer for my new internet connection in order to satisfy my bco application. I'm using approved inspectors based in Manchester as my previous inspector (Pwc) have gone bump! I guess what I'm asking is what is the cheapest way of getting a gigabit connection via an overhead telegraph pole which my existing house uses and who with? I've had no response from open reach and the logging on to their system is proving difficult as I'm getting errors with Microsoft account. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if there is a service offered to amend the drawings as stated in order for me to get the condition over the line before the 4th September please? I can't think of on easier or quicker way as I've tried amending the drawings to suit and it it's proving more difficult than I thought. Thanks in advance

I need to satisfy 1 condition on my plans with small tweaks. Bicycle store back to fence....move to small trees away from neighbours fence line and front of house fence arrangement.Can anyone recommend a good bit of free CAD software please? I could do by hand but would maybe be easier to make amendments with software? Thanks in advance Site plan - inc details of landscape, cycle parking, drainage and biodiversity enhancements.pdf
