    Do you think the OP knows what Part B is?

    I'm sure he'll find out.

    Not helpful, verging on the opposite :(

    ....Having read their stuff, I now understand that all shared sewers became public in October 2011, and are therefore owned by Thames Water now. ....It seems odd that a piece of legislation brought in to simplify maintaining sewers could have the effect of making my back garden a no-go area for extending. ....

    What do you think would have happened (pre October 2011) if you had built over the sewer (which you were then responsible for) and the sewer had then needed renewing or repairing? You do realise that you might have been obliged to knock down your extension in order to allow access to the sewer?

    At least this way, you are prevented from doing something really stupid.:)

    Just thought I'd put up the link to plans and photos to enable others to comment without having to do the copy and paste stuff. :)

    Given what @Doozergirl has said I'd be inclined to lose the bedroom! Any chance of extending into the loft for that?

    Sorry about that - it's working fine on my computer, but maybe it's taking it from the cache?

    Don't know what to do to make it work - I'm not a techy! :o

    Many apologies anyway! :o Maggie

    I think the responses that you have received pretty much point to trying to free up some space somehow so that the MH can be located externally to your dwelling.

    However the main reason for my post is to let u know that when accessing teh plans that you posted, you have somehow managed to give access to everybody to the gallery of photographs of your family. I am not sure that you wanted to do that or are even aware

    Good luck with the extension (and shift those photos, lol)
