I wouldn't say I am a natural crafter. However, kids have forced me to learn quick! Just last week we were making the most adorable Christmas cards. Next week... we're attempting gingerbread house decorating - I'm not sure the end result will be quite so pretty!

Not going to start another thread - just to ask another question (still in relation to the kitchen). Say we decide on some sort of wood flooring - laminate, karndean, engineered etc (that's not specifically important for this question) what are peoples opinion of not having the boards running paralell to the longest wall (ie the 'standard' way). I'm thinking of 45 degrees - there's not all that many pictures/examples of this (obviosuly if you look hard enough you can of course find them) - so is this considered to be a no-go? Starting at the front door, going down the hallway and into the kitchen/diner all at 45 degrees to the front of the house. * Sitting room carpeted * Study - that's my music room/man cave - that's remaining carpet as it's not worth changing. * Utility room and WC is currently tiled - will prob (no, definately) keep as it doesn't bother me. * Conservatory / playroom - carpeted. Will stay as is so the kids can happily make a decent mess. Also, if anyone would like me to do some artist impressions/sketches of their property and how things would like, let me know, you can see the quality of my work in the MS Paint edited picture above. I'm relatively cheap :)

Hi, Permitted development rights don’t start afresh with each new extension, they apply to every structure added onto the original building. So if you’ve built a large side-to-rear, it’s likely you’ve already used up most of your given allowance. This means your conservatory will most likely require a full planning application. In the event you still have some of your permitted development rights to play with, we would still recommend covering your back and applying for a Lawful Development Certificate. This documentation basically proves to both your local authority and future buyers that your build was legal at the point of construction. Essential going ahead with a second structure. Because you’ll be navigating a more intricate form of planning, we would recommend getting an architect on board for your conservatory. They’ll be able to assess whether or not you can create the structure you want with your remaining allowance, and if not, an architect’s planning support helps you avoid any of the common causes for rejection. If you’d like one of our experts to assess your future plans, we offer free consultations, which you can book here: https://resi.co.uk/advice_calls/new Hope this helps!
