Good news, good news. We attended a council meeting last night where our planning application was presented to the honourable members - after they had discussed drains and sewers for nearly two hours... As everything was according to the building regulations there was no bother getting it passed unanimously. Well, almost. One member noticed that the maximum increase (or decrease) in the planned soil level in relation to the existing level had been exceeded by 46cm. 1.46m instead of 1.00 metres - you can see this on the second plan below (if you look extremely carefully). An oversight on the part of our architect after we had confused him with our to-ing and fro-ing with the plot. The Mayor, however, pointed out that there was no way the 1m limit could be applied here as the fall of the land was 5 metres from one corner to the next. This saved us having to go through the regional council - and 800€ in fees into the bargain. Think we'll vote for him next time round...
On the architect's plan 2. below, the grey areas are the paths and the patio in the S.E. side of the building. The garage is to the South of the house see plan 1. When we get a higher definition version of these later, I'll post them.
