Hi would you have a contact number for them. I rang up https://ikogroup.co.uk/contact-iko/ who informed me that their primer is solvent based and don't have no product for icf

Hi do after a lot of going back and forth with the po I made the bay windows to rear ground floor only. The po doesn't seem to like the back design of the middle gable. I checked the size and oversight. It doesn't effect light. Neighbours can not see it from the back of their house. Only if they go deep at the back of their garden. PO stats In terms of what is not proposed – I still think the gable protrusion in the middle is too wide and bulky. As noted I’m happy with a single storey flat roof extension (with balcony above if desired) instead with a similar footprint. Before he made me change the design because he didn't want me having a balcony and made me put a flat roof with a big window in the middle. I think the new design looks a lot better and it's a modern design with the large middle gable. I think he just wants me to stick to a simple design. I'm thinking if I should just submit as I made it and try fighting for it or should I just get plans submitted as his saying in the preassesment stage and see how I feel about it. Maybe fighting for the redesign later? I would like to start build mid June.

I've not learned how to do the bay window roofs yet. New to this self build so all is a learning curve. It's hard to tell in the render but wanted a taller section of bay windows. Top and bottom. To give the house better design and apperence. Maybe something like the attached pic. The trees are not protected. So if I put in obscure side windows on the bay windows. Got the trees there. That would mean I could potentially convince the PO I think?

Thanks appreciate the info. I didn't think about doing a section 73 for it later. I was considering obscure windows. Just looks abit odd from outside when looking at the house. But comprises needs to be made I guess.

Hi my first post on here. My planning officer wants me to remove the first floor 45degree bay windows out. As he says it may over look the neighbours garden. Is there some guidelines about what is considered as overlooking. There are some trees in the way to obscure the view. I've attached proposed site plan. Pics of current trees, also a overview from the window from a 3d renderings when the plans are drawn. Also a render of the back house design. I do like the way bay windows look and fit in with the design. Not really seen better window designs.
