Will this be a new, period fence

I have no doubt that the OP will get regular compliments about the fence because it will look so good

No harm in being proud of something you've put a lot of thought in to.

Planning has now been submitted, and is up on the portal. The neighbour has stuck to his word, and the plans show it significantly away from the boundary. I won't submit a link, as it shows particulars such as his full name. If you wish to see the plans there is likely enough detail on this thread to figure the key word searches, or you can PM me.

I'll update when we know more.

Can't wait.

Ah for gods sake. You leave a thread unconcluded and you get told off. You attempt to do the opposite and you receive nobbish posts like the above

Patio doors and a polycarbonate roof. I have porch envy.

Yes, relax - It's Alucidnation. Knobbish posts are his specialty round here.


Thanks for the update - let us know how it goes!

Is that what the plans show? Nasty.

Jesus.... why wouldn't they at least try to make it look 'nice' buy using a small roof tile for example?

As far as I gather (from what he's told me) a light roof (as in lightweight, not bright) means that planning consider it a certain type of structure (porch I presume) rather than another (extension, I guess)

All second hand info, someone who knows planning better may be able to confirm.

Nope, that's nonsense.

It might help convince Building Regulations that a conservatory is a conservatory, but method of construction is irrelevant to Planning, and has no bearing on the definition of a porch.

We've had pictures of the front of the neighbours house, his rear garden, his sheds and been told what he gets up to in them. I don't see what problem putting up an edited pic of the intended carbuncle porch up which is available on a public website anyway.

In which case my memory may be failing me, or he could simply be talking codste.

Putting his name up in a link is too far AFAIC. Pictures around our houses don't ID him.

As you say, it's in the public domain, so if you find it for yourself then who can complain.

It's a matter of public record.

Application here if the link works (sometimes they time out).

Otherwise, it's application ref. 19//00240/FUL at Bolsover District Council, if anyone cares.

He's done well to get it validated, on the basis of those drawings: if I submitted that sort of crap as a professional agent, they'd throw it straight back at me.

Out of curiosity I had a look earlier.

Not the greatest, and personally, I would not be happy to have that next to my front door.

Thank you. Over recent pages opinion was turning against us, that we were being unreasonable, and what ground do we have to object.

The main thing is that no he has made the commitment to build further away from our boundary, so even if we don't like it we can fence it off and screen it.

Now to just see if it goes through planning.

[PartOfTheProblem]

It's nice to see the dimensions on the plans, but bloody hell that's going to look awful. Sliding uPVC doors and polycarb roof? Wow. At least it will be brick built, which is something. I'd be miffed if it was next door to me, but there's no real reason to object to it.

Thanks for sharing the details, nice to actually have all of the info relating to a thread for once!
