London, Feb 28 (ANI): Singer Marie Osmond's teenager son has committed suicide by jumping from a building in Los Angeles.
London, Feb 28 (ANI): A council in the UK has stayed away from flying the Union flag over its building because of a possible health and safety risk.
Not too sure how to go about this one!
We originally submitted a plannning app for double storey side, single rear and loft conversion which was refused due to loss of light re the single rear on co-adjoining. Subsequently submitted a planning app removing the single rear which was granted and received response from planning dept that effectively the single rear could be undertaken under a CoL based on measurements of the existing property and proposed side and loft build (all down to build timing apparently)!
Our neighbours have now decided to also build a conservatory to the rear and rather than have unserviceable narrow gaps on both properties, we mutually agreed to extend the existing party wall to accomodate both builds. Our neighbours plans were amended to show the proposed party wall which was granted as a minor amendment. We are also having an agreement drawn up legally to state the party wall extension was by mutual consent.
My queries are:
* Who serves the party wall notice? As it is an amendment on our neighbours plans, do they have to initiate this? Please note, our builder is undertaking the work!
* Our loft extension – and eventually, the rear single (for which we have yet to obtain planning) – will necessitate the installation of structural beams and again our neighbours have stated that they have no problem with this. Would we have to serve a separate notice for this part of the work or does one notice “cover all”? As we are undertaking the majority of the party wall works, would the serving of the notice fall to us?
* Would you advise not to proceed with the party wall extension until our single rear has planning?
Sorry if the above is a bit all over the place but it reflects my current state of mind!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Collegues, could you please present your views on how structural framed buildings accomodate daily changing needs of both clients and end users. Let’s look at space efficiency needs, changing functional demands, adaptability concern.
Looking forward to read your ideas.[/color]
