House with revoked PD rights - is it worth it?
gravelrash replied to Luis Pal's topic in Planning Permission
Im not sure the council planning have written that condition correctly. Removal of PD rights is usually very specific as to which part of the Town and country planning GPDO to which it is referring. A appeal inspector would soon remove a condition that is in appropriate. Regarding the reduction of house value...it is what it is. If you want it then buy it but do not expect the seller to reduce it because of PD issue. -
https://orlitech.co.uk Christopher.Hirst@orlimex.co.uk No BBA cert...That's why they cost so much from TEPLO. My structural engineer jus checked spec and signed them off.

I used 6mm sand coated basalt from Orlimex UK Limited. they supplied in 2.5m lengths then just cut them to length and install an o ring in the middle as a drip. They costed out at 22p each.

Not that article.... similar but obviously bastardized after reading the noaa. -
So finally had as built epc done on Flat roofed 125M2 masonry bungalow. U-values roof .10, floor .10, walls .13, windows and doors average at .9. Airtightness 0.8ach. Gas Combi but its used 170Kw during 23days of november for heating at 18c with no one living in house. I thought I had done pretty well on a tight budget. EPC is B -85 what the !!! no suggested possible improvement apart from 2.5Kw solar. So EPC not really worth the paper when you consider my current 20year old barn conversion got b -81

All this talk of CO2 but very little has been said about the ozone hole over the antarctic which is much bigger today than it was 40 years ago...and that is why the ice cap has suddenly increased it melt -

Finally got my exterior render and cladding finished and need Coping installing along roof parapet. Does anyone know of supplier/installer in North of England (Leeds)

Fairly standard to add lime to portland...gives a strong mix with flex and better ability to breathe. same mix with sharp sand goes as hard as concrete after many years

I would be more worried at diesel engines running 2000bar in injector rail..but there has been no issues over the last 15-20years.

Wife's uncle has a thousand year old barn which is nearly derelict..he managed to get permission to dismantle and rebuild as a residential with better foundations and the necessary internals for modern living, even though listed as historical...each stone had to be mapped by an expert and rebuilt in same position. It never took place due to cost and planning has lapsed.

What are my PD rights after planning has been granted
gravelrash replied to RichyC's topic in Planning Permission
PD rights are generally removed where the site is contentious i.e. Greenbelt, conservation area and or where the councils are a**e holes. If they are not removed by condition on planning decision then they are still alive...Take it as a win, the PD rights are a great benefit to you. -
Can this be wired into a 13a plug?
gravelrash replied to CotswoldDoItUpper's topic in Electrics - Kitchen & Bathroom
its designed for 3 phase but can be used on single with split live and identical to De Dietrich - as per diagrams, but they must be hardwired with 40amp min and 6mm cable. Do not share connection. -
the supply would be from the tank temp differential controller when it asks for heat, this would need to run through the salus boiler control and then to boiler...would the salus switchung allow the 240v?
-
I have installed a salus kl08nsb controller but need to run a buffer temp differential controller to switch the boiler on via the salus boiler switch, can I use 240v through the salus boiler switching terminals? the salus instructions just show 0volt switching.
