Property Development Project - Day 3

There is one thing I forgot to mention about the conversation with the planning officer and that is that the Local Authority has a policy that all letters should be answered in 10 working days (i.e. 2 weeks to the rest of us).

Do I wait this long before doing anything?

No – that would be showing too much patience. So for a start on the next stage I measure up the floor plan of the old house so that I can try out some extension and alteration ideas that will include the new garage that is going to be required.

The measuring and drawing of the ground and first floor plans will take all of day 3. Remember I need to make everything fit down to at least 5 – 10mm accuracy. I will be drawing the plans to the nearest 1mm and eventually these will be used by the builders to price up and then to specify and build to.
