Gosh, Jeremy I have been away and didn’t see this. So glad to hear that. your about but not about your problem. I have quoted you so many times.

I was told to keep mixing the stuff during application which makes sense.

+1 that’s rot, Just a natural defect in the tree and I wouldn’t worry about it, timbers are always over sized.

I agree and still don’t see their objections as valid in planning terms, and why not have a gate? Yes the hedge can be reduced, removed or die 🤷‍♂️ models are always good, not everyone can visualise from drawings (mind planners should be able to).

I would guess your builder is right, even with a velux window but it might be worth changing your permission (others here will know more about that) and include a dormer on that roof to give more room.

So what is your planning permission for? And why isn’t your box room part of that application?

As long as you can drain downhill then I can’t see why it won’t work.however the 45’ rule would apply surely.

As @Russell griffiths says.

What’s the question? I guess a full rewire so connect up a temporary power network and lighting network I guess.

It’s easy to piss money away on new stuff for anything. I am a firm believer in re cycling so good on you, if it’s being clad then who is to know anyway??? But is it “fit for purpose” I.e. will it do its job? If so the I would argue it’s still 100% 👍

Just asking as if you’re not allowed to extend with PD then why should they? Have a look at the planning portal.

Yes the above (IMO) is concise and addresses the points adequately. Others may disagree but in my eyes you are compromising. Does primrose cottage have permitted development rights?

Requires money up front to buy the kit to harvest the “fuel” and if she is struggling with fuel poverty how would she afford the kit?

All these options have up sides and down sides, most people would not entertain any of them but I find it all very interesting, from straw bale construction which I was interested in 30 years ago through self generated lekky to home made diesel. And, the start of this thread (which I am sorry to have miss directed) home made stoves and a rocket stove which I might make for my workshop just because I can. Yes biogas is yet another alternative but you need either the animals, compost or other “fuel” to run it so that would depend on your lifestyle.

Oh I agree in reality, No cows and ,”the other stuff” Most definitely
