We ditched the building company we had been working with and found ourselves an architectural designer specialising in town planning - this was the best thing we could have done. The place was surveyed, measured and a site feature plan drawn up within the first few weeks of engaging, and we started on sketches and town planning drawings. We had another pre-application meeting with the council, this time with full plans and elevations, which went really well this time and have submitted to council this month. Timeline suggests (if we dont have any objections) that we will have planning permission by january and then start on working drawings. here are the plans submitted - a bit different from the initial plans we had Downstairs: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Upstairs: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Elevations: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The main different features are: * all the dimensions are now correct now that we actually have proper drawings - the previous builder was just giving us concept plans on a 3D modelling program. Having plans in my hands totally changed my perspective on the size of everything * lost the laundry - just not enough room for a seperate one and did not want it in the main family bathroom upstairs, so we moved it downstairs inside the bathroom - think The Block style ... sort of... * lowered second storey roof allowing for increased sunlight into the neighbours on the south side of the house, and the roofline will be split with clerestory windows to allow additional light into the top floor rooms. this will also make for an interesting ceiling line inside * merging of the kids' bedroom upstairs to form one larger bedroom/rumpus that is big enough to house them, their beds plus their toys * flipping the backyard to the end of the block (as suggested by lots of people, finally getting hubby to feel OK with it) and allowing for a kitchen dining opening out to the backyard. * biff - almost felt like i was stealing your idea putting the shower above the stairs... no opaque glass for us though! Just waiting for planning approval now! Emily Us....
