Eugene's shop ... with a space saving idea

<< < (2/2)

Eugene:
Andrew,

As I had it from yer man at the time, the max footprint we were allowed without planning permission was 30m square; so the garage was built to a 5m x 6m footprint on an overlarge concrete slab. The additional area of the shop (as a one piece item) would have taken us over the limit, and I had no intention of hanging around for nine months. As you say, the shop addition is now in the clear, and making a virtue out of necessity, I now much prefer a separate shop. The Management having seen it finished and filled up then requested that I make one for all her gardening kit; so there was another bullet through the foot! Duly done.

We'd had difficulties with the department beforehand; I'd laid a concrete slab for my kennel block and Brain Death, on site for another matter said I needed permission for it; not the building, the slab.  :( Joy of joys he decided to stand on it, presumably to admire the view, and went in over his shoe tops ..... it was only about two hours old! In fact we were in the clear, it was more than the regulation distance from the roadway (9 feet?)

Then there are the oil tank regulations ..... :(

He's obviously a jobsworth  :med:

I do hope that you charged him for removing and relaying the slab he damaged, plus something for the stress and anxiety he caused  :lol:

Jonny:
Very nice indeed.
Do me garden as well.

Jonny, see The Management, I'm just the labourer, groundworker and carpenter. "I know my place".
