The planning application is, at last, in. It's taken a while with toing-and-froing between me and the house designer being fairly slow. He's been working on this a couple of evenings a week and a few hours many Saturdays which is plenty of time to allocate to the actual work but this design has been a lot more interactive than many of his projects - if I leave something to think about overnight or whatever it can easily mean a few day's delay before the next cycle completes.
Christmas and New Year blew a big chunk of our time budget as well as we both went away at various times. We were one day short of four weeks between one of my messages to him and his response. Quite understandable in the circumstances but tedious, none the less.
My original plans have survived reasonably well but we've made a few tweaks.
