Start with the design
Most people are tempted to
go straight to a builder (or surveyor) to get their project off the ground.
However, this is missing out a vital first stage that could save you an awful
lot of time, expense and heartache.
The best place to start a
project is to decide what you want to achieve – there are often many different
ways of achieving the same thing. For example, a kitchen extension can be
designed in many different ways but they will all have different implications
in terms of cost, planning and building regulations issues not to mention how
you will use your new kitchen. Using an architect for this initial stage is an
ideal way to make sure your project will meet your specific needs and guide you
through the minefield of rules and regulations.

Resolved Question: David Tennant BBC Drama - brain damage?

Open Question: Does any body know of an ombudsman that you go to if you have complaints about a council planning office. ?
We have now been taking architects plans to our local planning office (uk) trying to obtain permission for a block of flats. The problem is not that we're getting turned down flat, just that they are asking for constant modifications to the plan.
We have now paid architects fees 7 times for amendments to the plans. Each time we modify the plans to satisfy the planners problems, they find a new problem. We now smell a rat and suspect that although there is no reason for turning us down, something is conspiring against us.
If they said no never, then that would be that, but they don't. They just keep making changes. The problem is that they can't tell us about every problem they have at once, just one at a tim. This is costing thousands in architects fees.
We now want to complain, but don't know who to complain who.
Does anybody know of a body that oversees planning offices?
Thanks for anyones help in advance.
