So our first set of plans haven't been approved by the planning authorities which is a major disappointment. Indeed, it's only now (2 weeks later) that it can be described as a major disappointment. When the news that the approval had been denied broke, emotions were running high!
The planners believe that the first set of plans show an extension which is just too large. The "mass" of the extension needs to be reduced and the way of achieving that is to put a slope on the north cable end. This slope means that the master bedroom/ensuite will reduce in size. Thus the disappointment.
However, necessity is the mother of invention as my wife reminds me. She has drawn out an internal plan for the master bedroom which I can only describe as stunning. A re-orientation of the ensuite and walk-in wardrobe to the end of the room opposite the door seems to make a a big difference!
House Insurance
One major hold-up just now though is the house insurance. The house has been insured for some time now, but I don't have that all important piece of paper in my hand and the bank don't seem to be too happy! I've phoned, I've pleaded and I've despaired. I shall try again tomorrow.
All I need is that fax and planning approval! How tricky can that be?
