[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7917261, member: 9121"] Be wary of getting an architect to design anything without having a structural engineer involved at the start. An acquaintance had architects design an extension that was submitted and approved for planning. When the structural engineers got involved it turned out that the only way to achieve the approved design would involve ripping the whole rear wall off of a mid terrace house because the existing structure & layout wasn't strong enough. The level of work required would also require shoring and underpinning of the adjacent properties. The structural engineer was able to sketch out a more practical design, but that required another planning application to be made... [/QUOTE]
