After a seemingly interminable process, planning have finally come up with a letter giving us the go-ahead to build a house and convert the existing agricultural building to a workshop. Our application was lodged on October 23rd, and they're suppose to decide within eight weeks. It's now over 20! Still, armed with their letter, I've been able to secure a mortgage with the Ecology Building Society for £110,000, which should hopefully be enough to complete the build. Project now n the hands of Chris Peers from Twisted Designs Architecture in Yorkshire, who's charged with translating my pretty but deficient 3D CAD drawings into something suitable for Building Control, and, indeed, for tradesmen to work to.
Completion date for the purchase of the plot is March 30th - a mere 7 months after our offer!
I have heaps of drawings to upload here, but will have to wait until my broadband is up and running, as I'm currently borrowing a neighbour's connection.
Hoping to start the groundworks in April, providing the Structural Engineer gets the foundation details worked out. Dunno how he's planning to achieve that without any knowledge of the soil-structure, but will wait and see!
