HELP...Utilising space in a single storey extension
Comments (15)is it ok to claim i am very alarmed at these developments, i post here a pic of my humble shed which i absolutely adore, its quiet and i sit and listen to birds and watch them feed. now i knew the lad next door was building a shed, but was alarmed from the start at the height, somehow it hit me today. i am thinking of selling and would this impact on any sale. the shed is built on solid cement foundations, its going to be used for furniture making. at this stage i have informed the father that i am increasingly concerned about this impact, the trees shed their leaves shortly and it will be so overpowering, even at this stage i am hugely alarmed. he says the land is higher on his side thats why the shed is tall, well its very tall! can he build so close and so intrusively, what more he wants to put windows on the side facing my wee shed!...See MoreSingle storey rear extension - HELP!
Comments (7)Wow those fees..........like Jonathan, that's a lot. Changing the deeds ( last time we did that on a property was just short of £3k I think ( solicitors charges etc ). So, i'm guessing you've already shelled out the largest bill to the Architect...( literally astonished ). You'll probably still have a charge from the Water Co to come and check the drains as It's moving. I'd go get some more quotes for the build as that's around double what i'd expect for a single story (I'd go to £40K) depending on your doors / window requirement, but £60k's out of the park so to speak. To be honest, I think you're getting bad advice from expensive people. I'd spend a day trying to find out what costs are usually from others that have had similar done. You've got to factor in new furniture, flooring etc. Lastly, I also agree with Jonathan that a toilet off a living room is weird. So, yes i'd probably shelve the sideways toilet, swallow the amount that you have paid so far, save on not building on the side return and look at going under the stairs. It will be a nicer room at the end. I presume ( maybe i'm wrong ) that you're going to amend the kitchen as that still has problems. The little wall at the forefront that juts out too far and the fridge being in the dining room. I think that needs a tweak too. I like Jonathan's plan, but it won't be easy with all the drains on the right. Moving the sink and drainage, is costly. However, it will be a lot cheaper than the shared driveway idea and re-arrange the kitchen to it's best use. I wish you luck, and please let us all know what you decide. I'm so sorry you've had this awful experience. I think you've been unlucky with your choice of people and maybe ditching them all will be the best thing you've ever done. I'd go for something like this, the same as Jonathan....See MoreSingle Storey Extension - Roof design
Comments (5)Your 3D model doesn't match up with the plans. I will assume that the flat portion is indented with raised pitch on three sides? The more complex the roof structure, the more likely it is to have problems further down the line. With this particular setup if your drains did ever become fully blocked, you'd end up with a nice rooftop swimming pool! One alternative would be to reduce the size of the bathroom window or change its shape (i.e. make it wider, but shallower). That would allow for the flat roof height to be raised. It would give you a much more impressive volume in the kitchen too. +...See MoreSingle Storey Rear Extension on Sloping Ground
Comments (2)If you want to submit the application with the drawings above, I'm not sure this would do. I'd recognise that it's not a common garden so it would require some proper drawings to explain the existing situation in relation to the new proposal (maybe you have some already), especially if you want to convince them it's PD. Also consider having a survey done to get the apropriate slope and height points. A 6m extension is a relatively long one so it get's more sensible with the PD here, especialy in your case. Consider a full application as well - the extra timing and cost may be worth the size of extension you want to achieve. Another solution would be to drop the whole level with a few steps (if it's something you'd like). This will also help mititgate for the height at the end of the proposed extension. Hope any of the above helps....See Morejodie_o_smith
