It's funny, it has been such a long process getting planning, and I have put so much into it, now I have it I feel a little bit lost. What next? is my big question.
I think when you have such a big milestone it is easy to lose sight of the big picture, and I must admit this happens to me a lot. So what is next? well as I've done all the design work so far myself, I feel like it is getting time to hand over the reigns to someone with more experience. My brief chat with the building control guy on Tuesday left me feeling very inadequate, and I think that the project is going to run more smoothly with some expertise in the areas, which I am to all intents and purposes fairly clueless.
My other big issue is that of land contamination. It seems it a big thing these days with planning, and that it must be highly likely that this garden plot, is home to some nuclear waste or something which no-one has ever known about before. So I've commissioned the soil reports, and I only hope that they come back fine.
Then what of my foundations?, well i guess if my soil survey comes back ok, I can get some trial pits dug, and then I will have to pass this over to my new designer. It's all a bit unknown to me, lets see how it pans out.
