Nearly's permitted development

[Nearly]

to the council.

to the council.

Could not like that just at the moment

 

[Nearly]

Skipload of roofing rubbish away from site.

and pipework for underfloor heating boxed in (plinth still to go on).

 

[Netherfield]

One hell of a difference from pictures in post 1 to 187.
It's a credit to you.

 

[Nearly]

Thanks Netherfield. We've learnt a lot doing this one. Next one should be quicker.

Now I've just filled in the forms for Northern Powergrid to update the electric supply to the farm.
I just want to know what's the biggest supply I can get from 'my' transformer, but they need a full list of all requirements of the farm, farmhouse and 3 cottages to 'calculate my needs'
I just want the biggest single phase supply that I can get from existing wires into farm, I'm not interested in paying for another transformer and the company director's winter jaunt to Cancun.
If it's too much money I'll just buy a big genny and tell you where to stick your brown and blue wires.

Have you asked an electrician @Nearly ? Mine told me what I'd need, then uk power said that the maximum on a single pole was 70kva for 3 phase iirc. Above that they need twin poles.

Closest 3 phase is at other end of parish

I just need to get a look at the size of the fuse below the transformer.

Oops.

Looks like I'll gave to say I'll buy a 3 phase genny and run welder on that.

Best end to it,the 2khas+50konp/d

 

[Nearly]

Best end to it,the £2k has added £50k on value of p/d cottage

Yes, and I've got a piece of paper to say where it has gone.
Another 4 or 5t load in 12 months time off the other roofs and we're done.

Tidying up before the viewings rush.

 

[Nearly]

Stone down, and plinth in place for oil tank. (recycled lintels)

@Nearly , did you have to pass the energy saving SAPS malarky with your build? Going through the process now and it seems demanding but is it compulsory for this type of PD ?

 

[Nearly]

Did it from plans, very basic.
Richmond Thermal Solutions were very helpful with this and epc.

Tenants moved in now.

'Pear Tree Cottage'

Saving up for 2nd one. 'West View'

 

[Godber]

Thanks Nearly. We had ours accessed from plans but came up short. The oil fired boiler may have to be backed up with something green!
You have made a great investment with yours. Well done.
