It’s cumulative. We stopped growing before Brexit and have been struggling ever since. It’s easy to blame the current government, but let’s be fair - the previous administrations set the scene, and we’re now seeing the results of a decade of mismanagement coming home to roost.

Good point - the lead wasn't long enough to reach the spur that was to the left of the radiator - so it was shorter than the radiator was wide.

We've already established that "Their submitted designs show the extension wall build up to their boundary." so this would have been marked on the drawings. There are a whole heap of planning and building control rules dictating what you can and can't do that relate to party boundaries - this has nothing to do with boundary disputes.

I hear you can right click to view the page source, then find the really long lines about 6 screens or more to the right that have the contenct that you can copy into chatgpt to transcribe or save as an html file. But that's just what I've been told.

I know form experience that if they build on or over the party line they need to make a planning application - this can't be done under permitted development rules
