You may be wondering why we aren't posting photos of our preliminary excavations etc. So are we.
Because we had to raise the house 600mm this meant that our garage wall on the North side of the block had to become 600mm taller. This makes the "wall on boundary" too high for planning regulations. The builders let us know this and said that dispensation was required from the council, unfortunately they left out the bit that it was us that had to organise dispensation until I asked how the request was going.
Therefore we had to jump into action, we downloaded the appropriate forms from council, wrote a covering letter and had our neighbours sign a copy of the plans stating that it was OK. Within 6 business days we had received documentation back from council saying that it was approved.
Meanwhile I had been continuously requesting final documentation from the builder, unfortunately nothing seems to have happened. Therefore we now require a new letter to try to get action.
