Hi.
We have house which has an annexe attached to it above a double garage - both were built a long time ago so no planning issues. We were thinking of letting the house and the annexe separately. At the moment they share a gas and electricity supply so we want to give the annexe it's own supply. The annexe does have it's own meter in the loft space but we are billed as one property for all usage. We got some forms from for an application for another supply but they are very complex and we are told that we may need an architect to assist us with the supply applications, is this right? It all seems very complicated for something so simple.
Any help would be appreciated regarding what we need to do.
Do we need extra planning permission? Do we need to inform anyone? How much should each bit cost? Any recommended contacts / architects that may be able to assist us (we are in Telford).
Is there anything else we should know or any pitfalls?
Many thanks.
Pete.
