One bit of news - well, no news really. The man we thought owned the access road (who we wrote to 6 weeks ago to ask permission to use the road) - doesn't! (Own it that is) He has referred us to a Mr Hyde (alias Dr Jek.... no surely not) Another letter has been composed and will be sent tomorrow.
Spent some time this morning pegging out the shape of the house on the plot. It did make us think about a number of issues, particularly the maintenance of the hedgerow, and the proximity we had planned to have the house to the garage. Decided to move the house 2 feet further back on the plot to give more room for parking in front of the house.
This afternoon we went over the plans with a fine toothcomb in preparation for an appointment with our architect on Friday. Given the council's attitude towards revenue generation we have decided to make the upper floor totally open plan and remove the one wall that had created a room to the south west.
We also made a few more adjustments to window sizes, and made the bedroom a little larger. We even managed to agree where the wood burning stove should go!
All set then for the full planning application - probably get some news in 10 weeks from now. In the meantime I'm getting ever so slightly impatient.
