Erect a new building

prideline

The whole planning system is tailored in a pessimistic view always telling us what we can't do. What information is out there that tells us what we can do. Or is it just a case of "its not what you know or want, but more who you know".

I would like to put in plans for a new building and believe there is a 28 day building regulation but am struggling to find the information. I may also wish to apply for planning for a new house, what are the ins and outs of what we are and are not allowed, and ways of getting around it. Where is this information. I would like to know more before approaching the subject with a local planning officer.

Does anyone have inside information on how a planning office works and legal loopholes, I understand a 28 day building regulation is obviously best submitted over Christmas period reducing the number of days due to holidays.

This is for the Suffolk area as i am not sure if county councils have different objectives.

Money saving by building a secure future.

Hello prideline

I'll move your thread to the 'In my home' board, where it should get more responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

If you are thinking of building a house then hire an architect. They will know the building regs and also be familiar with the local development plan.

Your local authority's website will have details of their development plan. Details of current building regs, and the approved documents which tell you how to comply, can be found here: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/professionals/en/1115314110382.html

I have no idea what the 28 day building regulation which you talk about is.
