Help......old house

Guys Old house with solid walls. Nearly every room I have dry-lined from inside with baton, insulation and plaster-board. Downstairs floors are not solid, so air flow beneath them. I saw some comments on here about needing an airflow/draught to circulate the air from your rads arouns the rooms? Anyo...

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

But what would you choose........if my boiler has no auto valve fitted, would you go for the option of fitting one OR, having one radiator without TRV's and normal valves?

Cheers.

Could I put TRV's on all radiators and then just connect up the flow and return pipes at the end of the line?

Combi boiler...does it have to be a 'circuit'?

This is difficult to explain without a diagram, but here goes. Does a central heating system with a combi boiler have to be a complete 'circuit', as in, if all thermostas were closed, water could still flow around the whole circuit. OR......can I have one pipe for flow, one for return with the rads ...

There are two other rads on the pipe, and I wondered if there should really be some 22mm pipe in there to get a little more water to share amongst the three rads.

The boiler has a heating output of over 100'000 BTU's.

Thoughts from the experts?

Planning permission

Can anyone put down a kind of bullet point, easy steps on 'how to get planning permission'.
I want to knock down a rubbish lean-to on my house, rebuild it but very slightly bigger.

cheers.

Distance from combi boiler. Make a difference?

I've an old house and therefore all radiators that I've fitted are double. My bathroom one is furthest from my large Alpha combi boiler. Its about 13m in 15mm pipe length....would this affect it getting hot? Seems to take ages to heat up, and not at all as hot as others. Bathroom is downstairs, boil...
