Building Regulations and planning permission are entirely different though. One may be required or both may be required (or sometimes none may be required). Your advice is fine for building control - but if the windows need planning permission, that's completely different (albeit not relevant in this case, as the windows in question were fitted over 4 years ago and now lawful in planning terms).you can get the council to certify your windows - The main thing is that they would like to know what was there prioer - they came to my house before and after the new windows and as long as i proved the new glass was K or low emmissivety coated, and there was at least 1 fire escape - where there wasnt one before they were quite happy. Solicitors basically talk !!!!! and copy and paste crap in all the time demanding indemnity insurance for this n that just so they can bump their fees up0 -
I think everyone has missed the point of the what the solicitors are saying here: 'It's your risk, not mine.' But even more simplistically: 'It's your issue, not mine if you suffer serious financial loss because of this.' The problem everywhere is people think writing more means making things better and clearer.“Democracy destroys itself because it abuses its right to freedom and equality. Because it teaches its citizens to consider audacity as a right, lawlessness as a freedom, abrasive speech as equality, and anarchy as progress.”
