Let the council do the legwork and get them to quote chapter and verse if they think there is an issue. 🤷‍♂️

With my build/plot the red line was the residential curtalige and a blue line an agricultural field belonging to us, the ecological survey however included the field although we could not/want to build on it. Is this not your case with the blue line?

In the end the benches are not “fit for purpose” (unless max weight limit signs are visible 🤷‍♂️) so the suppliers are liable IMO.

However I cut mine with a hand saw so no “melting” should have occurred..

Without cutting the old ones you won’t know if the aeration is the same or not. I bought similar stuff for the soul plate of my new wooden garage (to act as a DPC) and cutting that virtiualy no “bubbles” seen.

+1, I was told years ago that things bought should be ”fit for purpose” which these are obviously not.

NIMBYism, as others have said my worry is your stress levels, not the actual complaint, give your answers, wait for a reply then deal (slowly) with them.

Good morning and sorry to hear your getting grief, there are lots of houses that are untidy and I cannot imagine there’s rules on this, However dangerous might be an issue, that’s why heras fencing is used on building sites. I think your only issue is upsetting neighbours you have to live near in the future and whether you can live with that. Personally I would not worry. Have the council asked you to reply to their letter? If not don’t bother.

Garage floors tend to not be flat with a slope to the door to aid any leaking fluids to escape. So you need to work out how to lay a flat floor. Personally I don’t like floating floors but if you used 22mm caberdeck (t@g chipboard flooring) which is quite heavy on top of the insulation it should work well.

You don’t say why you are doing this, is it safe to assume you are converting the garage into living space?

My bad, your right it was green stuff (years since I had a touring caravan) and with one of my projects i emptied the chemical loo in a deep pit on site and the neighbour kindly let me use water from his outside tap on his greenhouse.

If you use pink toilet fluid rather than blue that’s ok to put down drains or put into septic tanks etc.

Did they? I think not!

+1, only building control. Planning will tell you that you do to get paid for an application they don’t need .

True but that firmly puts the fault on the builder who has to then correct it at his cost.

I have always used local authority and although we have disagreed a couple of times (but sorted it out) found them good.

+1 if this was not specified at the outset.

95% of you’re wall will be perfectly flat as it’s the board as made, I have done a few walls like this (one was a very long wall in. Showroom) and with a pole sanding block found it easy to get flat, even if you have to go back a couple of times it’s still easy IMO.

So is that the builder in this case as no architect or plans agreed and the customer is not qualified in these matters?

I would ask them to show you where the legislation says this. (I have never heard of this!).

Which is why I always did full plans and not building notice, everything agreed before starting.

Yes, sorry but I am used to fitting tiles rather than slates, tiles need lifting more (to represent the thickness of tile below it) but slates are much thinner and have a first row of short slates so don’t need lifting. Yes that diagram is better. 👍😝

Yes, fitting last makes sure it’s tight to the slates BUT I prefer to leave a small gap facia to slates/eaves tray so any condensation running down the membrane can escape .
