By that last photo the bead is for the wooden floor. If you want one, the neatest fix I can see is to replace the bead with a larger bead say 7-8mm bigger to cover both the edge of the carpet and any damage you do carefully taking the old one off. Attach the new one with a bead of silicone, having painted it first if required, and it will then be removable with a knife next time. You will need something to hold it in place briefly whilst the silicone sets.

You need to plan carefully. Your demise could be sudden. If Vlad or Emmanuel (Pint-Size Putin) would lend me one of those hypersponic missiles...

Was there a gap under that beading, which (I assume) was there first? If not, how is he supposed to get it underneath? (Not criticizing, enquiring.) F

I was being a little lazy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Surely it would be BCO that would check?

You were too open. Should have perhaps left it as one big room (either bed/office or loung/office), and added in a stud wall later after the build had been signed off.

I need several keyed-alike Eurolock barrels in several different front/back dimensions. Can anyone recommened a supplier? Thanks Ferdinand

I think Posh is more expensive than that. Ask David B.

I believe planning is expected to be "Cost Recovery", not 'generate excess". The potential beneficeries will be the recipients for S106 and CIL monies, perhaps. Though they may get extra staff, if the HoP wins the budget war.

Checked the performance. PIR more insulating, better fire performance. PUR more moisture tolerant. I love "polyol". Shall use it as a nickname for the next time I meet 2 Olivers together.

What's the difference between PUR and PIR, please? Link is fine. Thanks.

Former field hedges are protected, but that only really works in fairly rural areas, or on green sites. The housing estate on our former family land has a condition to preserve ancient hedges, which has happened.

Build a fence down the middle, either unilaterally or jointly.

Unless they have sufficient flexibility built into their process which, given they often offer options, seems logical to me. To op: careful planning may have some value here, or can you use an option such as turning a doubles into quadruples later (depending on rules for extension wiring)?

The procedural approach may be a report to Overview & Scrutiny at the Council. But I am an even bigger cynic than you are about Council complaints' procedures. Not sure if that will help. But I'm still not really sure what you are asking, other than a general complaint expressed elliptically in (nearly) blank verse. IF you are after a reform, then it is join a campaign group and wait 10 years. Is your garden big enough to sell a bit to a developer? It may at least get rid of your permanent temporary neighbour if a Housing Estate gets built on it, and he moves to blingoland. (Shouldn't your area be one of those being levelled-up?)

Developers benefit from land price / house price changes over the 10 years or so it takes from buying the land to selling the house. In that period the average house price might have risen by 15-50%.

There'll be a price drop, but it is not a brand new technology so it won't be revolutionary imo. The Europe wide ASHP market is a 1.6 million in 2019, compared to 30k or so in the UK, which will double to 65k in 2021. We might tend to the French price level, whatever that is, with their 300k per year market. https://www.ehpa.org/market-data/market-report-2021/

And people...

It varies by nation, I think. But usually 3 in England though there have been moves to make it 2. You get 3 for Outline, plus 2 for Detailed if you do it in 2 stages in England. Or you start development and lock it in. Which can screw benefits (eg CIL exemption) you are supposed to have in place before you start if you are not careful.

How did you get that rainwater into the main drains passed them?

I merely make useful suggestions. You could leave your pipes empty of water and plumb in a politician for an air to hot air heat pumping system.

See Hypocaust ?.

Why not leave it in the room and use less heating?

On Green Hydrogen, JCB have signed a big long term contract to take Green Hydrogen. Looks to me that that will be tanker-based or private pipe, and will bypass the current distribution network, or improve just a segment of it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59107805

My view (and let's get back to Heat Pumps) is that greenery is now mainstream, that the main political parties have now eaten about 90% of the Green Party's lunch in the UK, and that the GP and similar groups now need to either a) Become realos more like the German GP, b) Make better arguments for types of a Green future that the mainstream does not do, or c) Shade into irrelevance. There's an argument to be made on the other side, around currently somewhat elevated Voting Intention in the polls, but it's a tricky argument to make claiming it is a prominence of Green values. The evidence free, context free arguments made in the Sewage Overflow debate this week don't bode well. Jenny Jones' speech in the Lords said nothing about water bills perhaps having to double for a generation to pay for it. When they start doing that, imo they can be taken more seriously.
