RELATED ITEMS
When considering a building project there are a number of items that need to be considered other than obtaining planning permission & building regulation approval, these include:
Climate Change: For many Planning Departments how extensions and loft conversions are designed now need to take account of climate change.
This, among other items, will affect: window design, materials, orientation, heating, overheating, heat loss together with the usual planning considerations.
Party Wall Agreements, Drainage Build Over Agreements &
Structural Engineering these will all need to be agreed well in advance of building works commencing and may require
the involvement of specialist third party providers: Party Wall Surveyors & CCTV Survey Companies etc.
A SAP 2012 Report will be required where extensions
comprise excessive glazing ( excessive = glazing
representing more than 25% of the floor area of the
extension)
