  Louise S. asked:

  Off the back of a great idea from Roberta Louise Shapiro and Shaun Kearsey I would like to add a contractor directory to our website but I want to do it a bit differently I don't want you to add yourself to this post any self mentions will be ignored. I want someone to recommend you and be willing to be mentioned as your recommender. So if you have a contractor you want us to add to the list please do so by adding Name, Location and Skill if you want to add contact details that is useful as well kinda wouldn't work without that :) Thanks!!

  Steve B. asked:

  Can anybody please recommend a reasonably priced local structural engineer / architect that could produce some structural drawings and building spec for a local project? Many thanks

  

  Wayne T. replied:

  In which case an Architectural Technician should be more than enough for sound building drawings. A lot cheaper than a full-on Architect or SE. Try Planitwright.co.uk. Not local but work all over.

  Matt H. asked:

  Hi Is anybody or does anybody know of an expert in pub to residential conversion and the best way to go about dealing with the local council and planning permission? Am currently looking at a freehold pub on which the lease has expired. Idea is to convert pub in to one dwelling with the possibility of converting outbuildings in to a separate dwelling and maybe developing car park in future for another one or two dwellings (long term future). Current thinking is A4 (pub) > A2 (offices) > C3(a) (family home). The pub isn’t yet listed as an ACV but I believe it is being looked at as a possibility. I know this can be appealed and over turned but I am aware that even if it is over turned it can make the planning process more difficult. Looking to get the deal done before this is applied for. I’m wary of pre-application advice as it alerts council to plans and could scupper the whole deal. Incidentally, I believe that the property was residential prior to 1972 when planning was granted to convert the ground floor in to a pub. I think this might go in our favour but again, I’m not sure. Any help, thoughts, ideas, experiences, suggestions welcomed… Thanks in advance.

  

  Linda W. replied:

  Thanks for the tag Richard Ignatowicz Matt Hook there are a number of issues to get sorted out here. ACV doesn't just make planning difficult it can block it for 5 years! Email admin@planitwright.co.uk - I offer a 30 min telephone consultation for £97 +vat 😊

  Stephen M. asked:

  PLANNING FOR LARGE HMO’s I’m viewing at an off-market licensed 6-bed HMO tomorrow and I have a planning question. With a bit of money spent the property will be able to be increased to an 8-bed HMO. I know I need planning for this increase in occupants but I just wanted to see what people’s experiences have been like when getting this through planning – primarily the argument about not ‘needing’ to have additional parking because bus / train links are good etc etc. I don’t have time to submit a pre-application form (may lose the property by then) and I’ve spoken to planning already (who are always comfortable sitting on the fence), so just wanted to see if there are any sort of templated statements that can be used in the planning application that have a decent success rate of getting through. Cheers

  

  Linda W. replied:

  Thanks Ian Ringrose - Stephen - there is no 'template' every site is different and every Council will have different policies - there may also be neighbour objections. I can help - for a fee obviously and you will need a survey and drawings and although I have had mainly approvals I cannot guarantee success www.planitwright.co.uk

  Vanessa Z. asked:

  Hello everyone, I am in the process of buying a very big pub, it has a large plot of land for development in the car park. This is my first commercial project, I wonder if I can get some advice from someone who has done this sort of deals before? I have three options: option 1: to convert the pub into 20 bedroom HMOs on first floor and ground floor with 10 rooms each floor, then develop the new building into further 30 bedroom HMOs; or option 2, convert the building into a 20 bedroom hotel or Bed & Breakfast and further 30 bedroom hotel or B&B in the new building ; or option 3: develop the building into 5-6 three bedroom flats and further 10 x 2-3 bedroom flats in the new building, this means I change use from commercial to residential. My question is: how does my three different options impact on the availability of commercial lending? Which one is easier for me to get commercial mortgage? And which option is easier for me to get my investment money out by remortgage? Which option is easier for me get planning approval? I will appreciate if I can have a chat with someone who had done pub conversion before? Can you please give me your advice and let me know your comments? Many thanks for your help! Vanessa

  

  Linda W. replied:

  Thanks Kevin Wright (no relation) you are spot on - there is no 'one size fits all' where planning is concerned - each Council has different requirements - email me if you wish Vanessa - admin@planitwright.co.uk

  Lindsay G. asked:

  I've seen somewhere i would like to buy, it is a commercial property. It has a ground floor shop which I don't mind leaving as a shop or commercial. It has 2 upper floors and from what I can tell a bit of potential development land to the rear. I would like to change the 2 existing upper floors into 2 flats, and put on another floor if possible and develop the rear. Changing the 2 existing upper floors from office to flats would be the most important though. However it's in a conservation area. Any advise on potential hurdles I may come up against would be gratefully received. Can permitted development be you used from commercial to Residential even in a conservation area or will I need full planning. Thanks

  

  Linda W. replied:

  Lindsay Gibbons - great! Of course - available Monday 2-7 pm 07765 250150

  Christine T. asked:

  Hi, can anyone advise me here? I have a 1/3 acre site with an existing residence on it , I would like to know how I would go about applying to develop the whole site to put more "nice" residences on it. It is in a desirable area 30 mins by train from London. Does anyone have experience of costing things like this?

  

  Linda W. replied:

  Before approaching an architect and incurring fees for drawings which might not be acceptable to the Planning Department. I would suggest you need to find out if the principle of development will comply with local planning policies - an initial development appraisal. Call me for a free 20 minute telephone conversation 07765 250150 to discuss your options.
