This really isn't very hard.
1. Contact your local council planning department.
They will help you determine whether or not your changes require planning consent before work starts.
2. Contact your local council building control department.
They will help you determine whether or not your changes require a building notice to be issued before work starts.
3. Look at your lease and any conditions and covenants therein.
This will tell you whether you need permission from anyone else to do the thing you want to do.
4. Stop bugging people on this forum until you've done all of the above.
thanks for your advice, but I had already called the places you suggest.
1) I came to this forum as it appeared people would be speaking from 1st hand experience and could give me advice from that, is that not what this forum is about or its purpose?
2) Who gives you the right to determine if I am buggin someone else?
NO WHERE IN ANY OF MY MESSAGES WAS I DISPLAYING ANY KIND OF RUDE BEHAVIOUR SAYING THAT I AM BUGGING PEOPLE!
My questions were all ligit.
You need to learn some manners mate, just cause you know a little bit about building does not give you the right to talk down to people.
Do not even try to rebutt my comments, if you were polite and friendly you would have addresses me on my name and finished with a nicety by saying
regards Bob Hope or something
or even balanced your barbaric/caveman like ways by adding some humour!
thanks and regards
Gavin
PS
a smile goes a long way, looks like you have forgotten how to do that (I dont need to see your face to know if your smiling or not)
