So if you personally make an objection to a planning application, on a material consideration, you will be viewed as an objection. If the Parish Council make exactly the same objection, then it will trigger it being sent to the full planning committee, and mean that the trained, and qualified planning officer, will no longer be able to use his delegated powers, to decide the application. But instead will now have to write a report, and the application will now have to go before the full Planning Committee. So effectively, the Parish Council (Untrained Muppets) will have over-ridden the ability of the trained planning officer to make a decision.

No i ment Parish Councillors Jeremy, and the effect that they, as completly untrained people, can have on planning applications. The fault may indeed be with district councils, for having a policy that, Any planning application that receives an objection, then has to go before a full planning committee, and can no longer be decided by delegated powers.....Now i think the only person trying to twist things here is you..... You stated that an objection by a parish council, only carries as much weight as any neighbour objection, did you not ?

Perhaps they can have such a policy Ferd. What is annoying me is that Jeremy is stating that Parish councils have very little effect on planning applications, are are only considered in the same way as any other objection. regardless of who set up the policy.....If the result of a Parish Council objection is that a planning application has to then go before a full planning committee, then they are having a huge effect. Don't you think ?

Jeremy, i'm afraid you are up to your usual tricks.....Many district councils clearly state that a planning application received by them, that is objected to by the local Parish Council (Twats) can no longer be decided by Planning officer delegated powers, and that it has to go to District Council planning committee. Why can't you either acknowledge that you were wrong, or state why you are right. It's clearly stated on the Eden District Councils Web Site..... I took a photo of it for you fella.... Even great men make mistakes. Greater men admit to them.....

Eden district council is a local authority Jeremy.............They decide on planning apps for several areas

Jeremy, have you bothered to read what i posted ? Eden..... clearly says that a planning app will need to go to comittee if the P.C. object to it....What am i missing here ?

Harwell district council.... Another One for you Jeremy.......

Eden District Council.... On there website. Are they breaking the law then Jeremy?

You keep saying that Jeremy, and in the case of your local Parish Council that may be the case. However, in mine, and several other councils, an objection from the parish council, means that an application HAS to go to the planning committee. A total waste of time and money.....All because jumped up twats who sit on Parish Councils.....

Planning Officers, are all complete TOSSERS, as are local Twats who sit on Parish Councils, and think they are all powerful. If i could, i would make all Parish councils produce a neighbourhood plan if they want to have a say in planning. As far as voting on individual property matters, i would take the vote away from them. They have no training, and no idea.

Started a bit of plasterboarding in the posh shed

Could be worth talking to a couple of local smallish concrete firms. I have One near me, that will bring a few bods, pour and level.

Square in my opinion

Re the kitchen. I used to own and run a kitchen company. Design, supply, install etc. They were very high end. In frame, One off door designs. 30mm thick doors. Convex, concave doors. In all sorts of fab wood. The carcasses were always made from veneered ply, and basically they used to cost a fortune. Others will say different, but my tips would be.....Do not have oiled solid wood worktops. They are a pig to keep, and if not oiled regularly, will stain. If you have kids, think hard about having wood doors. The lacquer will be very thin, and sloppy, messy kids will ruin them after 7 or 8 years.

I want OnOff to come come on please, with a full, detailed drawings etc scheme. Together with costings, and if you ever sell, you will still be able to drive past and say. "See them, I built them."?

Trees Wagas. Trees, trees, and more trees.

I would always prefer a good screw Tony. ?

DevilDamo. B0ll1x. What a bummer. I wanted to just do a reinforced slab, and a nice simple timber framed garage. I would be quite near an oak, and a beech tree. What a bummer, BCO will want mega deep footings.......

So if i want to build a detatched building, say a garage. 6 x 6 meters, (which is a normal double garage size) do i have to have building regs ????? I understand that if i had any electrics connected i would have to have the installation certified. But building regs for the whole thing ???

Welcome. Have fun on your re-model.

Kin hell. i'm going for a lie down just looking at that.

I can't remember buddy, but I used 2 different one's and they both came out all but the same. 2cubic meters I'd defo bloody tiny for a whole house though mate.

I have always found bco's to be pretty clued up about soakaway. My new house needs 8cubic Mt. If its round the back, I hope you can get a digger round there after the house is built.... If you get sussed. 2cubic Mt is tiny for a whole house. Good luck.

The party wall act, will come into force if you are digging foundations deeper than his, within 3 meters of his. So dig as close as you like, and he he says anything tell him you are only going level with his.

Tony fella. Sorry, but in my humble opinion you have been given a lot of irrelevant, and subsequently, rubbish advice on this post. It all very well telling you what they would do, or have done to trees that are on there own land. I dare, any of them on here to risk taking out a large established tree that is not. You will have done some research, and you will know that you won't be ordered by the court to pay for the full cost of a sapling. You will be required to pay the full value of the tree ££££££. To take out the tree, without your neighbours permission, by accident or otherwise, would be a seriously big gamble, and could cost you so much more than an alternative foundation design. With regard screw piles, I did look into them, and there are a couple of companies that do the engineering calcs, installation, etc. You might find bco's a bit resistant, but it is more than possible to build a house on screw piles. Personally, I think they are a great eco product. Virtually no spoil. No concrete. I hope you don't think I singled you out for a bit of stick? You certainly don't come across as stupid, and I think that your post was more, searching for a devine Ray of light, than looking for some stupid comments like, take it out with a digger. Best of luck Tony. P. S. In the future, I believe that most new houses will be built using screw piles. Unfortunately, being a bit ahead of the curve means it may cost you a bit more than people in the future. Regards Jim
