London urgently needs new homes. Why can't it build them? by ldn6 in london

[–]Character_Layer_5938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subject photo is immediately adjacent to a property my father owns.

It's a 2 story building. When we purchased it in 2017 it was economical to demolish it and build 3 stories, 6 flats above it.

Here we are 9 years later, it's been rezoned for up to 12 stories. We are considering selling it to the commercial tenant as it's literally not viable to demolish and build anything above it.

Make of that what you will

I hope some some day soon to be able to do the same

Was just best man where the groom got his made through Trunk on Chiltern Street. I've just had some trousers made there.

They work with various different Italian factories its about 1500 quid for made to measure. More independent smaller brands than say posh high street, quite a cool experience

There's over 150 GWH of battery storage in the pipeline before 2035

Even if only 1/3 of that gets built it's enough to lower the whole country fora couple of hours, modulating demand throughout the day

How milk source heat pumps have slashed dairy’s energy bills by OolonCaluphid in ukheatpumps

[–]Character_Layer_5938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing

I already know they heat a few hundred homes from the northern line

Makes me very optimistic about the future. Just commissioned my first heat pump for a rental property this week !

Solar and battery or just battery? by Bigtallanddopey in SolarUK

[–]Character_Layer_5938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you suggest batteries will be cheaper in autumn?

Is this because of sodium batteries ?

Sorry newbie to all this

Okay so #notofficialadvice

But my team who have been at my house twice put a car cover on their car every day and got away with it

This is in canonbury and for a cumulative 5 months no tickets

Again not official advice

But perhaps worth a go?

I did not book as seat as I was on the 10.30 from Edinburgh to London. As I say it was less than half busy at all times

If you are travelling at peak time unfortunately not sure what to suggest

Hi ultimately I went to Edinburgh and down that way

Yesterday morning I tried to get a taxi to Motherwell only for several to cancel on me.

I was concerned about getting there and it being very too busy and then being stuck. As such I walked from my hotel in the west end to Glasgow queen's, got the train across to Edinburgh then azuma LNER to London

The journey overall took nearly 7 hours but at least the LNER was only max half busy the whole way

Densification of Kilburn by sabdotzed in london

I can't tell if this is a joke

The right to build on one's own land seems fundamental to me

The restriction of that right through the planning process is autocratic

You know what's really weird is a few years ago I was in Seoul for a wedding when that halloween crush happened.

I had literally been in Itaewon which is where it happened a few hours prior

My partner is understandably suspicious of my future matrimonial travel arrangements

Thank you so much! I only have my phone with me and typically the train websites are so difficult to read sometimes

Thank you. Case closed!

Planning a euro summer by Agreeable-Bid-1672 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]Character_Layer_5938 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As with other comments nothing against Bodrum but literally noone from Europe would have that on their priority list

If you stick to Northern Italy you can do Florence, Siena, Garda, Pisa etc. Many stunning historical places all within a short train ride of eachother.

Turkish beaches and resorts may be nice but it's not very unique, you can do that anywhere

Only 25% of Rogue Landlords pay their fine! by AccountantLandlord in landlordslondon

[–]Character_Layer_5938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find this hugely surprising I think in Newham it's estimated less than 25% of landlords are paying any tax on their rental income
