No problems for me

Welcome! I'm sure you'll do just fine ,we've all got the ability to learn, there's so much more help with this internet and tools for specific jobs are so much cheaper 👍 all the best!

Hi, yes, I'm at my lowest ebb, but still determined. Thanks for the encouragement 👍 I've had a reply from a planning consultant who seems quite positive 🤞 Cheers Budd

Just wanted to say hello (should have done it ages ago) We are hoping to build our retirement home, nothing to elaborate, probably a Bungalow or Dorma. Can't seem to get started, been looking for years for a suitable plot. Would love a Turnkey ,maybe a Dan-Wood ? but it's just theoretical atm . Budget is £250,000-£300,000 full build, and £50,000 to £80,000 for land/Plot. Had some recent advice to engage a Planning consultant as my first-port-of-call . Been using Google search/Carmarthenshire and Swansea panning portals as my plot finding tool. Hope to find a plot , build our house and have a few years in it before I pop my clogs 🙄 Budd

Hi there, Any news on soil testing or ground conditions results please. We seem to be on a similar journey. We will be getting a soil survey done ASAP .The only information we've got atm on soil type is from BGS Geology viewer which describes the soil as Sandstone- "Red, brown and purple fluvial sandstones with red mudstone interbeds" Don't know if this is any use to us at this point ?
