In this world of asinine computer planning, construction and building regulations; when you ask for permission, you’re asking them to consider all the possible negatives, including ones you are not aware of. Too often the result is indecision, and respective inaction, its a lot easier to apologise and ask forgiveness than to get permission these days.Banning the installation (and then no doubt use) of wood burners is already being mentioned. What makes me more infuriated than anything is the fact that our old barn is b***dy listed. It leaches heat, forget double glazing and the south facing roofing that could house 20 solar panels can’t be used for that. When will the Historic England/idiot Listed Building Officers wake up and smell the daisies? Rant over and have a good day everyone.
