November 25th has marked the next major milestone in our planning saga. A back and forth with the architect over the family room roof has yielded a seemingly workable solution.

I’m told the pitched roof will not result in an oddity on the inside ceiling. (Fingers crossed, I’ll only remain truly convinced once it’s built). To avoid faffing around with the upstairs bedroom window we have a ‘characterful’ ‘dip’ in the roof just be the bedroom window.

So this is it. Now the waiting game begins once again. We’ve got a holiday booked over the new-years period and hopefully all being well, we’ll come home to a decision from he council. Fingers crossed!
