The barn conversion and the proposed rear extension

We need an extension on the back of the conversion for a walkway to access the rooms as at present the walkway is taking a large chunk of area from the rooms in the conversion, and the fact we have to construct an inner skin of blockwork with cavity insulation makes the rooms smaller again.

We heard from the planners 2 days ago that we need to apply for planning consent for the walkway.

So more £'s to pay out. Forms to fill in and another plan to draw out of the conversion with the extension highlighted in red

Then I suppose it may be an 8 week wait...Yeap that's right an 8 week wait and possilbly longer

for a decission

Stout heart..............

The barn conversion

Not much of interest to talk about today except working out the angle of the roof and the distance down to the finished floor level at the intersect. Having to allow for the depth of the timber rafters (150mm/6"), the insulation on the rafters 50mm/2" the roof battens and counter battens not forgetting the felt underlay, slates and the plasterboard
