What kind of homes are in Cumbria?
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
Projects in Cumbria are taken on by arrangement, and any travel and accommodation costs for the team are shown openly in the quote.
How are projects approved in Cumbria?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
