Hi I've used started using a Wagner 250 Pro. I have my full house to paint and wondering if I can also spray my skirting boards and door frames etc as this would save me a massive amount of time. I wood be using satin wood. *What filter / tip do I need ? * When spraying a room what do people do first ? I was thinking walls, ceilings then skirting ? I have the 3m hand masker also

Can I actually just install gates without consent ? - The previous gate have been removed for a period of time and I'm guessing they may argue that it has been changed ? Yep it will be over 1m but the previous one was over 1m.. I'm leaning towards making putting some timber gates on and testing the water

@Ferdinand "The best route would have to have just done it before your planning app - you have now told them they aren't there" exactly my thoughts but neither me or the architect foresaw a problem, hindsight 🤷‍♂️ I can find no legal guidance on the matter. There was a gate but due it's poor state it was removed. A period of time as passed and I want to put a similar type of gate back in the same position. I'm thinking a combination of the aforementioned options. Maybe test the water with a cheap as chips gate which will remain open at all times if no one comes running with an enforcement notice install the electric gate

Hi all Highways have objected on these grounds; Access The application proposes to extend the dwelling and provide ne fencing and gates to the front of the dwelling. The fencing will follow the line of the existing boundary which will be acceptable, however, the application also proposes to provide a sliding vehicle gate which will not be acceptable. Drawing T1162 - PL04 Proposed Site Plan shows the gates located approximately 1m back from the rear of the footway requiring vehicles entering or leaving the site to wait on Barnsley Road while the gates are opened of closed affecting the free flow of traffic and causing an obstruction to the detriment of highway safety. Gates should be located 5m back from the adopted highway to allow vehicles to wait off the highway. Please note the following points below: My response to this was * photos of the hinges still on the stone pillars. * Most of the neighbours have existing gates level with the front boundary wall (none being electric) *The plans are for an electric gate, I would be adding a GSM module unit which will allow us to open the gate from anywhere. * There is no parking restriction on the road immediately outside the property and ample parking positions are available. - sent photos to support showing the width of the road and cars parked * The main road is a good width and is used frequently for parking. *I have attached photos illustrating the vehicles parked all the way up the road leaving ample room for vehicles travelling up and down the road and not causing an obstruction. If the gates were not open for a visitor, they would park on the opposite side of the adjacent to the gates and access the property via the pedestrian gate. Highways have then come back with; The applicant has provided photos of gate pillars bearing hinges, however, these are historic and will therefore not be acceptable as mitigation for the current proposal. I would therefore retain the requirement for gates to be located 5m back from the adopted highway to allow vehicles to wait off the highway. The applicant states that parking is available outside the site and that the gates will be opened and closed remotely, however, the future maintenance and operation of the gates and the availability of parking on Barnsley Road cannot be guaranteed and I would therefore retain a highway objection and recommendation for refusal. At the risk of holding the whole development up I have then removed the gates from the plans submitted and hopefully highways will lift there objection so I can start on the actual building work. Due to having small children and my driveway being open straight onto a road I require a gate. To have a gate 5m up my driveway would require me to more or less rebuild more whole front wall. Thoughts ? * Her main point is the gates are historic but I'm unable to find any official planning guidance on this point

Hi Nothing hangs on the fixings now but the fixings protrude from the stone ends. Goggle street view from a several years ago shows a gate in its place. There is clearly been a gate in this position previously

Hi I wonder if someone could give me any pointers before I start seeking further help I have applied for planning permission for an extension to our new home (Moved in around 6 months ago). The design scheme shows us adding a new gate were a old gate previously stood. Unsure when the previous gate was removed but the gate stone ends are still in situ along with the metal work into the stone. I would guess several years ago the gate as been removed Some of neighbours hav gates in similar proximity to the highway Planning as been refused on the grounds that the new gate is within 5 metres of the highway and they have asked that I build a new wall 5metres up my drive to house the new gate Any use in appealing as I'm replacing a historical gate or do I need to build the wall ? Thanks' in advance

Hi We are building four houses as a family and we intend to live in three and maybe sell the fourth. We are currently around 50% way through the build but have only now started to look at the VAT reclaim process for self builders. Each of the three family memebers have invoices in there there own name and have tried to spilt the costs 3 ways. How best should we proceed ?
