Landlords are not architects

"The design seems woolly."

Landlords in Manchester are facing fines for extensions to student properties in the Fallowfield area.

Twenty properties in three streets in the student area have had UPVC box extensions bolted on the rear at first floor level. The craze hasn't gone down too well with the local planners who are now threatening fines of £20,000 a property if the architectural zits aren't popped.

I'm not sure what Kevin Mccloud would say, but in terms of aesthetics I'm with the planners. It's dangerous when landlords start to knock up bright ideas on the back of beer mats with their mates.

Clearer advice for builders and project managers

For those of you with a hard hat, you may be interested to read about the Government's plans to make it easier for anyone involved in building to see what standards are expected of them and that their work complies with the building regulations.

The Government's measures are set out in the Communities and Local Government's Future of Building Control Implementation Plan.

At the moment, builders have to contact the building control inspector at their local council up to nine times during each building project regardless of the complexity or scale of the project. A new approach is being developed which will allow councils and private building control bodies to focus their attention on the highest risk projects and therefore reduce the number of inspections on the simpler projects. See chapter 5 which explains how they are intending to reduce the burden imposed by the existing system so that it is easier for property owners and builders to demonstrate that a property complies with the building regulations.

Sounds like a plan.
