The one affecting our plot is that we have to move the garage one metre away from the roots of a lime tree. Initially we just sacrificed the passageway between house and garage but after further consideration we came up with the idea of moving the garage in front of the house and moving the house 3 metres south and the garage 2 metres north so it will look something like the illustration. Such a change may require us going through a full planning application which we would wish to avoid because it would delay everyone by another 8 weeks.

On Monday we met with the architect, James, our conveyancer, the estate agent and the vendors. Everything is moving along quite well and it is starting to dawn us the amount of work we have to put into the project and the myriad of decisions we will need to make.
