Building Without a Permit
Building without a permit for building Back in the days of our grandfathers, getting planning permission wasn’t part of the routine. You could build anything you wanted (at your own risk), as long as it was on your own property. Building without a permit was widespread. It was certainly in your interest to build in […]

It is the only way […]
No Permission!
