Good evening, Hoping that someone can offer some advice. We have just been granted planning permission (after 17 months) to convert a grade 2 listed barn which has collapsed into a 4 bedroom home. We have had numerous redesigns before getting the permission granted - our architect is lovely but it has cost so much so far. Today we have been advised it will now cost £11,000 to obtain building regs, along with structural engineer costs and archeological studies. Is there a cheaper way to obtain building regs? I know we will need the structural engineer as no-one has accessed the internal barn due to the collapse and level 2 archeology report a condition so happy to proceed with them. Would appreciate any help, Bernadette
