ETC

It’s all a load of balls. The only solution to damp in an old stone wall is for the wall to be able to breath, removing sources of water from the walls and the use of prosper breathable construction materials.

Looks like a bit of firewood for the stove!

Looks strange.

What does the manufacturer, your architect and the BCO say? I would be interested in seeing how the BCO approaches this. My only suggestion is to step it up past the rebar to the first joint in the wall panel but I am not sure if this would affect the structural integrity of the wall panel junction. This must have come up before - and I’m sure the manufacturer must have details for this?

Take it out and put in a proper tile vent - if it’s a new build get the developer to do it. Forget about a bucket!

It’s listed but you’re knocking internal walls down and there’s a shed load of asbestos. Sorry can’t square that circle from a historic building viewpoint.

Bulldozer!

Speak to the Lead Sheet Association.

Heat?

Context drawings should and are purely illustrative and as I said before are not enforceable unless used as a means to indicate a critical relationship between buildings. The OP didn’t state that this was the case - hence not critical. Where an application is approved the presumption is that the approving authority have completed due diligence on the submitted application documents and that any misinterpretation of submitted documents is a risk the approving authority and not the applicant takes. The thing to remember is that an application will be assessed in relation to relevant policy and on its own individual merits. While showing context can be important - in a terrace or to illustrate impact a proposal will have on the environment - unless the relationships between buildings is critical contextual drawings should be taken by the assessing authority as illustrative only and assessed as such. Just to illustrate my point of view that the assessing authority should carry due diligence before issuing an approval I offer the following. An assessing and enforcing authority had a case recently where an applicant was asked to submit an additional set of documents to be approved. The documents were submitted but had been amended to include an additional element of the proposed development. While the assessing officer had completed a complete review of the proposal and had carried out due diligence the documents that were issued were approved with the additional element of the proposed development. The assessing authority have since discovered this and have reluctantly decided that there is very little that it can do.

I think you need to read the post (properly) and all the replies - if the OP has a drawing where the next door elevation is drawn slightly smaller than in reality AND has fully dimensioned his proposal AND there is no condition attached to the approval referring to having to tie in with the height of the neighbouring property then the OP shouldn’t be concerned - it has been built in accordance with the approval. Context drawings are there for one reason - context and unless they are required to establish critical dimensions are for illustrative purposes only. And I have no idea what checking an architects PII will accomplish.

Unless the elevation is dimensioned it won’t be enforceable and a separate condition stating a height requirement will be required.

Scaremongering.

Rubbish. If the height of a neighbouring house was critical to obtaining planning permission it would have been set out as a condition not merely relying on an elevation which may or may not be correct. Lol @ PII - what good will checking the PII do?

How much have you got? Because it will take it all and then some!

lol at barely!

I think that’s the least of his problems.

Apologies - I didn’t read everything and was presuming the leak was coming in through the cill. Having looked at the photographs can I presume that your window is not set back as far as the back of the brick? And if this is the case where are the DPCs at the head and jambs? A sketch through the window would help.

Irrespective of who carries out the work you - as the home owner - will need to determine if you need an application. I would suggest that you contact BC and discuss the potential works with them.

Have you made a BC application? Wall panels need restraint and openings look too big for the wall panels.

have you made a BC application?

Should have a plastisol coated aluminium cill under the window extending out and down the wall with a drip.

Might want to put spaces between the boards - lets the wind through without making your gates two big sails. I always liked vertical boards set edge on - gives the gate a bit more of a contemporary look.

Don’t do it - asking for trouble - water will pour in if it’s not done properly.
