Okay, nice.
I have a question about planning permission. I'd like to have a rear extension built but i know my neighbour will object. The extension will be built up against their conservatory. To apply do i need to submit full architects drawings to the council. I'd rather not go to the expense only for it to be refused. Is there a half way house where i can get an idea if it will be approved, then submit full drawings for full approval afterwards.
Even better, is it possible to pop into the planning office for a chat, or some guidelines.

your neighbour can object but that does not mean the council will take any notice of them, I think the party wall act will apply which is a headache or you could just wait for her to go on holiday then do all the work while she is away and the the party wall act will not apply (I think)

2. The scheme that you have described will be subject to the "Party Wall Act " lots of info on the web.

Surely you need an architect not only for the plans, but for design advice.

You don't need an Architect (as in RIBA), anybody can submit plans. Obviously the person will need to know the relevant procedures and be conversant with the current regulations.

Bungalow Extension
We are currently exploring the minefield of extending on the back of a two bed detached bungalow. The size would be 7.5 m x 4 m - have been told that we don't need planning permission, but not sure whether to go for an orangery or extension with tiled roof and velux windows. Would knock through from kitchen, so would be no dividing doors - would this be a security problem. Extension/orangery would have bifolding doors. ALSO could anyone give me an idea as to how much something like this should cost in South Yorkshire??

All that money spent you could of tidied up the cabling over the guttering , you do realise when that cable gets a little older and brittle it crack where it rub on the gutterin and then get water in the cable and if not noticed damage the equipment it's connected too.
For the price of about a £1 for a box of 7mm clips you'll save a lot of hassle.
Looks good apart from that though
As said before the roof looks shallow is it going to drain water off ok?

thanks..
I went on the boundry line on one side by mistake..but the neighbour did not mind..they other was being little akward.
Cable over the guttring is the hose pipe as i needed to water the new grass..this will go..
I like the pitched roof..well thats the most it could be anyway..it was afew degrees off from the recommended pitch for a roof window..hence i did not get them fitted.
