Hi
Does anyone know where I can find the legal requirements/guidelines on space planning?
I can only find vague references to them on communities.gov.uk and a report commissioned by the OGC!
I thought they may have been in an ‘Approved Document’ but I couldn’t identify one that applied to Space planning and usage – are they a British Standard?
I’d be very grateful to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
Cheers

Hi,
I am a final year student at Sheffield Hallam University studying BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying. I am currently undertaking my primary research for my dissertation and I am looking for house builders and building control to complete my online survey.
To access it click on this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XMNY6RJ all of the responses are anonymous. The questionnaire should take around 5 minutes to complete.
For my dissertation I’m investigating the available Low to Zero Carbon Technologies and the Code for Sustainable Homes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Rob
I am currently completing my final year of a Quantity Surveying degree at Liverpool John Moores University. The time has come for me to collect data for my dissertation on whole life costing in the construction industry.
I have completed a questionnaire in order to gain data which can then be analysed to meet my objectives and would appreciate it if anyone working for contractors would take the time to help me with my research.
The questionnaire will take 5 – 10 minutes and can be easily completed through the link below.

Hello
I am a final year student on a BSc (Hons) Building Surveying & the Environment course at the University of Plymouth. As part of my studies, I am required to undertake a dissertation project on a topic relevant to my studies. I have chosen the topic of zero carbon housing and its potential barriers.
I am looking for the opinions of house builders and residential developers and I would be very grateful if you could complete my online survey, which will take no longer than 5 minutes – Survey
Needless to say, all information will be held in strict confidence. Equally, a copy of a summary of my research findings will be sent to all companies, who complete this survey.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Danielle Mills
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]
