If it's just a case or trimming the hedge then it's one of those things that you either have to get on a do or get someone in to do. I doubt the council will take any action if you haven't explored the above. Maybe you explain the problem to your neighbour first and see if he/she has any suggestions...

I have most of the range of software that HBXL do.

The Estimator software is great and easy to use but I found when quoting for jobs that it's too accurate for the customer.

PM me an I'll explain!

Talk to the planners first to see what would be acceptable. You should be able to drop into most planning department and speak with a planner (although I would call first to confirm). Talk through potential options and make a pre-application if requested by the planners.

The guidelines are just that, guidelines, and some local councils have the ability to determine what they consider as being within the guideline. If you want a fight then I would seek professional advice from a planning consultant but first, send in a minor works form (should be free) outlining your...

You should check the Green Belt policies set out in your Local Plan to establish what you may or may not be able to do. This should be available on your councils website but you may have to do some digging to find it. Best bet, give them a call and ask them to point you in the direction of the polic...

If your converting the room to a habitable space then you'd have to apply for Building Regs approval to which they would want the stairs changing. You can get complete staircases from Screwfix for £430 which I think is pretty cheap really. If you decide to go without applying for Building Regs then ...

You could get away with 600m below ground but if you want to make it indestructible then put a third of the length is underground, so if the post is 2m above then put 1m below.

On a level site 2m is a general acceptable height but there are so many other things to consider. If you decided to make a complaint to the council they would they would determine whether the hedge adversely affects the your reasonable enjoyment of your property. It would help to understand the size...

Garage raft questions?

I'm rebuilding a garage and have searched the forum (and paving expert) for info on concrete rafts but still have a few questions regarding the design. The garage is 30sqm so doesn't require building regs but I'm confused as to what constitutes 'adequate construction' against the 'minimum guidelines...
