What a farce. I would expect that if the 'developer' had not been a council official, then the building may have already been demolished. Possibly some strings may have been pulled, but not on the building! Who pays for all the extra council work and surveys then? The 'developer', or is the council reclaiming the extra costs?

Heh. Half the time people on this forum are complaining about building regs.

Along comes a guy with his own ideas, and a splendid confidence and induividuality,
and he's wrong too!

If he is taking out bearing walls and 'obviously' doesn't know what he is doing, of course he's wrong. He needs a professional in there.

He was just trying to create a lovely open plan living space.

If you are creating your dream home why worry about trivial things like walls

Sky hooks at 3ft centres will solve it

Hmm, reminds me of when a friend's Iranian Landlord decided to build a "shed" in the garden. 2x4s hammered into the earth in an approximate straight line, then cladding and boards for floor and a sort of roof. Then a few divans and lace curtains and he put up a painting of himself in robes with a scimitar. I believe building regs are a bit different depending on where you come from.

double post.

I don't understand, I though bringing the garden into the house was the new raisin d'etre of all architects with French doors that slide away to open up a whole new "living space"

Mr Ditta takes this to a new extreme & gets flack for it.

I'm all for a nice landscaped garden but I don't really want it in the bedroom :lol:
