Hi has anyone on here bought land without planning permission before? thanks Derek

My wife and I have decided today that we are going on a bit of a trip to Italy ,via the South of France. Basically I have a prolapsed disc in my lower spine which I have to have removed (the second one in 7yrs) but I wont be admitted for 2-3 months and also after the op I will be pretty immobile...

Today we lost the well-progressed sale of our house due to an unwanted development in the immediate area. I don’t really want to go into a huge amount of detail on a public forum but suffice to say the problem related to this development is unlikely to go away so we have chosen to take our...

Long story so I'll try to be brief. Wifes Grandad died in Feb, leaving the bungalow he built in the 1930's to his 3 grandchildren. Bungalow has hardly been touched in last 70 years so needs total refurbishment. Wifes brothers unable to afford but there is a family desire to keep the...

I'm planning a trip to the above, soonish, so where and what's good to see. I do like driving up steep hills :thumb:and moutain passes like the Hardknott pass in the Lake District. Also love to drive off the beaten track. We should be staying over one to two nights, so we can also visit other...

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune. One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most...

Howdy! A quick question... our house has 4 walls around the garden (like most plots I would assume :p) - but these are of differing heights and materials! The rear and left are approximately 2m high, the front is about 1m high and the right is a variation of the two (with a change in...

I got sent some examples of poor planning which made me chuckle:

My wife has recently took delivery of her new C Class – very, very nice! Unlike the previous C Class Comand, the new Comand System can plan routes dynamically by using TMC data. My wife travels alot of business miles, my question is, how good is the Dynamic route planning? Would you use it? or...

I wonder if anyone can help. I would like to put in a second drive so I can have a horseshoe shaped driveway. I asked an architect to draw up plans but they refused as it was not worth their while, being so easy it should only take me 5 mins to do myself. As I am the least artistic person I know...

Anybody had one of these done recently? We are going through the motions but have received 2 sets of conflicting advice: 1) from a well know banks financial advisor arm who does it with a solicitor. No problems with the main thrust of the advice ie yes we would be better having one BUT he stated...

Im looking for some advise/help on ways to object to a planning application we recieved. We had a letter from the council a couple of days ago informing us that our neighbour is intending on building a 2 story extension at the side of their house. Its doesn't get in the way for anyone else...

Well, After much deliberation - about a day ! we decided a couple of weeks ago to up sticks and move to toronto . Its likely to be a two year immigration process so plenty of time to sort out our affairs here in blighty. Why? Many reasons but most of all we are getting fed up with the way...
