Oh my, I'm bad at this blogging lark. I've just got back on it because at last we have some stuff going on & taking a look at my last post realised that I never concluded that little chapter in the story of our build.
After much pestering by phone & email the council caved & gave us an answer. Yes, we can build to code 3 with the condition that we do everything we said we would in our letter of appeal. That's fine, we're happy!
Lesson 1 learnt! Pester the life out of everyone until you get what you want/need. This will stand you in good stead once you start to employ subcontractors, believe me!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think we're slowly realising that! Thanks
