Hi Guys,
Long overdue this thread but as i am sitting about waiting on a phone call seems like an ideal time to post it up.
Living in a conservation area and also in a little village with some grade 1 and 2 listed buildings with a parish council getting planning permission to do anything can be a nightmare.
Anyway after a long haul of about 18 months i finally got my planning approved at the end of last summer at which time my dad managed to break his ankle and came to live with us for a couple of months which coupled with one or two other things that were going on at the time ended up with everything being put on hold until this year.
Because of the proximaty of the tree roots in relation to the garage planning/building regs dictate that i would need to do a 2.6M deep footing on one side of the garage but only 1M deep if the trees were not there. Ultimately the trees were going to come out anyway as it would then give me space down the side of the garage to park the motorhome and the car trailer one behind the other, financially it makes sense to remove the trees first then build the garage although i would have prefered to build the garage first and sort everything else afterwards.
The pictures are all taken sequentially over the last couple of weeks although i havn't got them all loaded on to Photobucket yet so will add to the thread as and when i can.
Cheers.
Russ.
