If this is the famous one, I think he failed from memory, but I never heard
the last instalment. Brian -- From the Sofa of Brian Gaff Reply address is active "TheChief" wrote in message ... I expect I know the answer to this one, but does the planning dept talk to building regs and vice versa? Just a thought cos I am watching a programme about a castle built surrounded by hay bales. The idea is to have the building in place and lived in for four years, then remove the hay bales. The relevant council has a four year rule after which they cannot demand demolition. But the owner has not employed labour to avoid detection and just has a few sketches to document the build, so presumably he also has no building regs approval. This got me wondering whether the BR department would actually check the planning status of a job they were asked to inspect/sign off.

Phil Not for that specific build, but as far as I can tell there was no communication between planning and BR for our extension. Further, there was no inspection by the planning department to confirm that we had followed the plans. Once the plans were signed off their job seemed to be at an end. BR were just interested in proper foundations and drainage, and that we had the structural engineering calculations for the steels plus an energy assessment. We saw no sign of any measuring taking place during the build - mainly a quick visit to look at the foundations before and after the concrete pour and a check that the new soil pipes were put in correctly. There was no final inspection - the certificate just turned up in the post one day. Nobody has asked for a gas certificate nor an electrical certificate. So not nearly as thorough or as joined up as we expected. Cheers Dave R -- Windows 8.1 on PCSpecialist box |

Yes, this was mentioned in the show and they claimed that it was as a result of the castle featured. Phil -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
