cheers mate

am pretty much sorted with the upstairs, only got to fit a kitchen and reroute the wiring and plumbing..

its the downstairs where a need plans for really...

I am an Architect and I do drawings for Planning and Building Regs approval, you'll need a 'change of use' application if you want to convert from a house to a flat.

would a need "change of use" if it was prevously 2 addresses?

as it used too be a shop and a seperate house and get post with different numbers on ie = get post for 91 and 91a

not really keen on getting building inspector involved, as the ones from sunderland council are total knobends lol

I think you'd still need permission tbh, especially if it was a shop before. For the Building Regulations l use a private firm rather than the council because they have a common sense approach rather than doing everything by the book.

thanks mate

will be intouch after the new year

would you be able too have a look at the property before a start doing any work ?

Yeah I can have a look, you should really have some plans done before you start the work though because the council could give you a fine or make you put it back to what it looked like before just to be awkward.
