Property Development Project - Day 33

After tweaking the plans already drawn I write another letter to the planner at the Local Authority so that the property development project can move on.

I explain about the turning head and in case there is any problem about the reduced garden length I include details of shorter back gardens that have been approved in the same area within the past few years.

This is just a small indication that research can help you to avoid potential problems before they arise. Of course the planner might not have any difficulty in approving short back gardens but there is no harm in being prepared and indicating this.

The plans are those that show the floor layout and elevations for the new house and the single storey extension to the old one.

I also include a brief statement in support of the design for the new house with regard to the use of rendered walls, style of windows and the incorporation of detailing on the front elevation. (This is not shown on the posted plans as I have deleted these from my computer).

So now we sit back and wait again, after all he has another 10 working days to reply!
