I would like to give a whole hearted recommendation for Oskar Umbrasko & his very able team's landscaping service. We have had gardens landscaped in previous homes and have never come across a team this fantastic. They have just transformed our garden to an incredibly inviting outdoor indoor space working to our designer's plan. The team are exceptionally hard working, collaborated well with the rest of the building team so not to be in the way of the indoors building works, came up with creative solutions, had a great manner with our neighbours regarding boundary issues & are generally so approachable. They have great knowledge & expertise about all landscaping related building works issues and have carried out extensive works for us; fencing, demolishing, building up drains & covering them, building a bespoke shed for our awkward space, building retaining walls, raising the ground level, paving & preparing the ground for flower beds and pebbles. They have always gone the extra mile & no request is too much even though we are very fussy clients! Really happy to send photos or show you Oskar's team's work at our home as so pleased with it. Oskar's website simply does not reflect his high standard work since he is busy working so hard with no time spent on the website! https://www.ofalandscaping.co.uk/about Oskar: 07545372421 [email protected]

Thanks so much for all this advice. I am really positive about it now 😊

Loup long garden so it should be possible to have some sun in the garden. I hope there is some light inside the house too. Many thanks.

Thanks so much for your advice. It's a very long garden so should have sun at the end of the garden.

Is a house with an east facing garden dark inside in the day and the garden does notget much sun? Advice/experiences much appreciated. Thanks

Paul Davies from 'stop bugging me', Carberry Road, Crystal Palace just completed a 2 week job at my mum's flat. We had a huge problems with rats out of the blue after extensive building works. Paul is extremely hard working, very knowledgeable in his field, great at communicating through all the steps of the prices and very honest about the action plan even when it meant less further work for him. I am so thankful for his superb service, the speed of response, his juggle to try and fit my mum's job in sooner than later due to the distress it was causing her and a surprisingly reasonable bill for a most excellent service. I will recommend Paul 100%.

Probably too late....... ! But we used Matt from Matt plants and gardens landscapes, 07946518597. REALLY happy. Fantastic results, 10/10.

We were delighted with purchase of 2 extremely reasonably priced gorgeous French leather shoes for our daughter from a kids' shoe shop literally minutes from our home. Emmanuel Marshall Kids' shoe shop is at 235 Dartmouth road, SE26 near Sydenham school. lovely service with feet measured as standard & great advice. Range is not big as a new business but pure quality & good design choices. Wish to see this local independent business succeed and hope to see it grow. Going back tomorrow for our son's shoes!

Thanks a lot for advice and pointers folks. I've spoken to lewisham council; most unhelpful. They have changed their set up so no pre-application advice paid or the free service they used to offer. They won't give any indication unless they receive a formal application. We are not in a conservation area. We definitely need to make a formal application as we will be requesting a size that is not permitted development so the issue can not be looked at under permitted development as it is not permitted. We are really not that close to the neighbour but one side of their very small garden meets our garden wall. Thanks as I'll look on the planning info re what applications have been granted in the wider area around us as had already checked our street & only permitted developments were requested and granted. Thanks once again.

Hi, Just wondered if anyone has had experience of requesting for & hopefully being granted planning permission for a loft extention to be larger than the size that is allowed within permitted development? We are end of terrace so will get 40 cubic square metres unlike the 50 cubic square metres allowed to semi detached houses. This is in relation to Lewisham council where the process of finding out is only through applying with drawing etc so a cost of ?2k at least but they won't tell us if we'd be completely wasting our time and mone in applying for planning permission for this. Any advice/experiences shared most appreciated, thanks
