New Self Build, Leicestershire

[Blooda]

Been lurking around here for a while, but 10 months after seeing a plot of land with outline planning permission, we now have had our drawing's signed off by building control today, and can apply for starting certificate.

 

4 bed detached house in a village in Leicestershire, traditional build and styling.  We have never done anything on this scale before, only a integral garage conversion and detached garage at the current place.

 

Loads of questions to ask, so hope you can help our journey.

 

We were originally going down a full build route with a contractor but the quotes ranged from "too much" to "how much", so now we are splitting up. but with that it means the programme has probably doubled.

 

It will make a change to pay someone to do "something" rather than produce paperwork.

GET YOUR CIL EXCEPTION SUBMITTED AND CONFIRMED BEFORE YOU START!!

Depending on what local authority I don't know of CIL will apply. I'm in Leicestershire and upto 2years ago we were still paying open space s106. My most recent planning had no CIL or 106. We must be a deprived county!

Welcome.

 

Delurking is a wonderful thing.
