We actually already have building approval. I don't know what I builders did but the day after
land registration took place we got an email saying we had building approval. I was expecting an 8 week wait as well as friends of ours are also building in the same area and they have been told 8 weeks.
So anticipated start date is 19th July at the moment. They started ordering everything last week! I was impressed at the speed of it all!
How awesome that you didn't have to wait long! The 19th will be here before you know it
