Yup, a tea20, known as a grey furgy, I have another one for sale if anyone is interested? I picked up the tractor and topper for £1500. You can still get every spare part fir these old tractors so very maintainable.

You need one of these, 68 years old (not the topper on the back or the driver) and still going strong, a real classic.

Can’t you check on rightmove or something it usually shows if houses are fir sale, sold or offer accepted???.

I find that if I put the pasty in my mouth not my bottom I gain more calories hence generating more calories to raise my body temp but I have no pear reviewed data to prove this (and I don’t need cream!).

Ha, thermal undies use NO energy (but the occasional pasty helps).

I have unplugged my stereo as reading this I noticed the standby light permanently lit but rarely used! I too have fridge/freezer, MVHR, and treatment plant, my PVR is always on to record those programmes I forget to watch at the time.

And me please, I await this info on testing.

IMO the joist is next to the wall so won’t carry a great load, would have been worse for either of the other joists we can see in that pic but that does not make it right. A “get around” might be bolts through the joist either side of the new hole into the brickwork behind it, either rawlbolts or threaded bar into resin. Still a shit thing to do tho .

Curtilage of the dwellinghouse is the garden in real speak ??????.

Right @zoothorn we need a more accurate drawing with measurements to give us an idea of the actual ground slope etc, it’s dark now so off you go after breakfast in the morning with a tape measure and pencil and paper .

Thats the maximum allowed per side, front one obviously less, depends on cabin dimensions and slope dimensions.

Just read this too, if the stream is the boundary you need to move it 2 mtrs away from your boundary.

But, taking that “measured adjacent to that part,”. 1, the eaves no more than 2.5m high both front and back. 2, ridge no more than 4m high. Will this be ok for you?

@zoothorn just post up what your planner replies with, also can you do a rough section sketch with rough dimensions of the stream, bank, Slope and where you want your Cabin, we can go from there.

Just found this from government permitted development document. Height’ - references to height (for example, the heights of the eaves on a house extension) is the height measured from ground level.3 Ground level is the surface of the ground immediately adjacent to the building in question. Where ground level is not uniform (e.g. if the ground is sloping), then the ground level is the highest part of the surface of the ground next to the building. yes this is referring to extensions but the document also includes sheds etc so the term of ref above is applicable. Let’s see what @zoothorn,s planners reply with, if ambiguous it might be worth a diagram and quote the above and get him to agree with us and keep that as evidence when the neighbours kick off. i hate planners generally and once when in Bristol I proved the planners wrong on a point and got a reversal of a planning decision ?

Was the pun intended @Onoff ???. I think between us we can establish if it’s needed or not, with @zoothorn,s neighbours we have to make sure it’s done properly ?

I am fortunate that I could afford to build (but not till the age of 62) our cottage but the funds came from years of living in and doing up houses along the way, with a mortgage. Being able to do this at your age will be very challenging but we all like a challenge so good for you. In our locality the planners are investigating several un permitted developments and it look likely they will loose their case and face demolition. I think this is a risk too far!!!! . We all love what Ben Law did but his business existed in the woodlands and originally (not sure it still stands) that he could not sell what he built.

Yes it was from the second link (stack exchange etc), see what you get from your planners and post it here, we will go from there ?. I will do you a little diagram of what I would do and I would like input from others here on their thoughts.

quick glance found this https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings and this https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/32793/where-do-i-measure-a-buildings-height-on-uneven-ground-for-uk-planning-restrict so..... ‘Height’ - references to height (for example, the heights of the eaves on a house extension) is the height measured from ground level. Ground level is the surface of the ground immediately adjacent to the building in question. Where ground level is not uniform (e.g. if the ground is sloping), then the ground level is the highest part of the surface of the ground next to the building

I would have thought you would need to excavate to below the level of stream bed to reach firm ground but you will only find this out by digging I suppose. But I still think ground screws are an option that is a lot easier, just found this. https://www.groundscrewcentre.co.uk/

Or you want to install a two/four post lift to service your classic car. Like I wish I had done but I was building mine under permitted development due to someone trying to sabotage our planning application!!! So was limited on height.?

Why?, they can go in a slope if that’s where you want the edge of the cabin to be, or am I missing something?

No I cut a piece of timber the height of the window, screwed to the side of the window but with an angled edge to screw the plasterboard to, hang on I feel a diagram coming........

Dont understand the question really, why not put the 6 piles where you want the cabin?, 3 along the front and 3 along the back, make sure the 4 corner ones are where the corners of the build will be to support the join from front or rear to side members, do your self a diagram of what you want and post it here fir comments.

I was advised to call my workshop a garage as a workshop is not VAT claimable but a garage is. Just call it a garage, Any materials obviously not for a garage don’t include In the claim. I am sure they will not work out how much timber etc it takes to build a large garage.
