How can I retry for building control approval?
Hi, how can I re-evaluate a build control application if my first attempt to gain building control approval is rejected? What are the main steps toward making an application more likely to succeed?
New room, New kitchen
Hi, I've asked similar before but I need to describe it better. I would like to know a rough estimate in time & money, that it would be to relocate the kitchen from the back of the house into the current living room at the front of the house. Plumbing for a sink, washing machine & dishwasher are required. Electric sockets, electric cooker socket & installed & new lighting. The carcasses of the cupboards that are salvageable can be re-used but would like new worktops & cupboard doors. A radiator needs removing & tiles for the wall space between the worktop & top cupboards would be needed. Obviously I know it'd be an estimate without exact measurements for pricing. There are no walls to knock down, nor is it a listed building. There is a manhole out the front of the house . The boiler can stay where it is. It's a 3bed semi-detached house & basically want to swap the rooms to meet our needs. Appreciate your time answering my question, thank you.
Composite cladding depth on garden office
Hi, what is minimum recommended depth for composite cladding on outside if a garden office? I was supposed to have 35mm depth, now my builder has told me it’s out of stock and suggested a similar colour in 10mm depth. I’m concerned it’s not sturdy or durable enough.

Extension over Garage
We are thinking of extending over our garage but given the scale and price of the work is it possible to do in phases? We live in a semidetached linked by garages house. The Garage is sloped currently. Very high at front and low at the back. I think it would be more achievable to the following Get planning/building regs. Check or modify the footings Raise the back end to a standard height Lower the front end to a standard height Rubber roof Then do the 2nd floor at a later date for phase 2?

Can I have a two storey side extension?
Hi, I just wanted to know if it's realistic to be able to do and get a double storey side extension on this house. There is an alley next to the boundary, which I thought might help our case going close to the boundary. https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/58377411/
