                There was a chap in Bolton, retired Doctor, bought a two bed bungalow in Ladybridge, got planning permission to extend it, but built it like *six times bigger than the plans.

                Council made him knock it down.

                Lostock planning row features in Channel 4's Damned Designs programme (From The Bolton News)

                * definite exaggeration by me.

                  I thought about moving this thread.

                    Question

                    HI, Sorry if I posted in the wrong part of the forum.
                    The answers to some responses, the office which I want to build is just going to be extention to one of my residential properties. It is technically converting existing conservatory into permanent room. but the builder is my friend so I will ask him to write whatever receipt I need.
                    I just wanted to know if this is legitimate, and if I shall keep the budget to some level.
                    I am not going to build a mantion. just couple of rooms, the cost shall be low.
