Hi O knowledgeable ones.....
I am hoping to have an extension on my house for my Aged P to live in so I can look after him. It will consist of a living room/bedroom with a bathroom and be a single storey.
There is an existing "sun room" (estate agents words) and shed where the new extension will be, it will cover the same floor area. There used to be an old brick built coal shed and wash house on the area before that the exsisting structure replaced.
The neighbours house (that this will all join on to) is much longer and taller than mine with no windows on the side of my proposed ext. The new building will not take anyones light and will not encroach on my garden (anymore than the exsisting stuff).
Has anyone had experience of planning departments and the planning process in general? My council offer a free drop in thing to speak "informally" to a planner, any idea what I need to take? Would some pictures, a drawing of my own and an ordnance survey plan of my house (from the council) be enough? I don't want to get proper drawings done yet!
And on the subject of drawings....roughly how much are they?
Ta muchly IA
