 So no news appears to be good news. The City of Edinburgh planning dept will now only respond if they want changes made or the application is likely to be refused. No dialoge. No response to emails. So hire an Architect with experience from the outset, as he will be able to guide you on the liklihood of approval from an early stage in the process. This application in Willowbrae Edinburgh had absolutely zero feedback from planning and then approved out of the blue! https://marchitectsltd.com

Bi fold doors are now commonly asked for when altering homes. Clients specify upvc to save costs but the resultant frame width and restricted sight lines can create a clumsy appearance.

Future proofing your home through the the addition of a ground floor shower room can be easily achieved by re-planning dead areas of space such as hallways/ pantry / closets commonly found in properties older than 40 years. Minor structural alterations can open the areas up allowing the re-planning to take place and often results in the creation of adjacent open plan living spaces. We never like to think about getting older but having an accessible shower room really helps with independent living when we reach that time of our lives.
