Planning are insistent on a dormer
Dave Jones replied to Fallowfields's topic in New House & Self Build Design
you want a planning consultant not an architect. You already have the first hurdle jumped, planning in principle so its down to plans. Find a good consultant to look over the plans, they will know the local planning inside and out (probably worked there as well). May be the case of put in what you want and appeal it. You are in the position of having 2 bites of the cake so refusal isnt a show stopper. If the appeal is unsuccessful you havent lost anything apart from some time. -

Dave Jones replied to CalvinHobbes's topic in Heat Insulation
no you dont have to use marmox but not aware of any other products that achieve the same results at same cost. Stricter Regs new this year so expect more materials to come to market as eveyone has the same issue to overcome. -
if they can be routed outside of the thermal envelope of the building but you dont want them breaching it and acting as a giant cold radiator leeching the expensive heat out of the building.

Planning Condition - does this remove PD rights?
Dave Jones replied to Hilldes's topic in Planning Permission
out of curiosity is there a time window for PD rights to kick in after completion of a build ? -
whichever you choose make sure the twin socket below is the made the same.

Planning Condition - does this remove PD rights?
Dave Jones replied to Hilldes's topic in Planning Permission
unless there is a very specific reason unique to your build requiring removal of PD I would appeal it. It's free and you have very good chance to win. The National Planning Policy Framework (the NPPF), the granddaddy of planning policies, states that (paragraph 52): “…planning conditions should not be used to restrict national permitted development rights unless there is clear justification to do so.” The government’s national Planning Practice Guidance (the PPG) goes further, says that: “Conditions restricting the future use of permitted development rights or changes of use may not pass the test of reasonableness or necessity.” -

joes buildup fails the new SAP due to cold bridging, you need this buildup using marmox blocks ideally. This shows the external door junction -
presumably an excellent education in that case. so why a socialist ?

mains every time. you can reach a fair distance away with a cheap pumped chamber.

Claim against architectural designer
Dave Jones replied to Lofty718's topic in Surveyors & Architects
does make you wonder if the architect missed something as fundamental and basic as fire regs what else did they screw up. no wonder a lot of banks wont accept architect certs anymore, the standard of work from them these days is appalling. -
be very difficult to pass SAP with oil burner on a new build. Do it properly and ASHP.

Part O guarding Vs Part K Escape Vs Part B Fire Safety
Dave Jones replied to Dave Jones's topic in Building Regulations
in a nutshell a window of 1000 fails part O guarding, 900 fails part O and K per original post. There is no combination that doesn't fail either O, K or B. It's a right dogs dinner. -
