"We expect that a separate collection for food and garden waste will be required in the next few years" Seriously? So the small (and smaller) brown bins are a complete waste of plastic for anyone who has a big brown bin and has paid for the garden waste service.

You can certainly compost all cooked vegetables/fruit. As for meat/fish/cheese, it takes a lot longer and not recommended in low temperature home composting because of the various nasty bacteria that aren't killed off. If you use hot composting (e.g. Hotbin) then it's fine.

If you have an open fireplace you can only burn smokeless fuel.

And what else, connected with > gardening, could I buy? If she has a greenhouse and is interested in gardening as you say, then I wouldn't buy any seeds; the chances are that she's already placed her seed order for 2019 - or will have done by February. It might be better to buy something where it doesn't matter if she has duplicates, e.g. wooden, or copper plant labels (nicer than plastic), a posh kneeling cushion, perhaps a terracotta pot or a glass cloche. It all depends upon your budget. Crocus.co.uk is a good site for garden stuff that's a little bit nicer than you'd buy yourself (and of course a bit more expensive).

I've just looked on Rightmove for flats in and around East Dulwich, up to the value of ?450K. There were five pages of them, and even included a few with 3 beds.

If you can get to the outside of the glass you could use greenhouse shading paint as a temporary solution. When the weather turns cooler just wipe it off

I think it looks perfectly balanced. I love small plates, it allows me to try new things without risking ordering a huge pile of something I don't like; with a friend or two I'd happily start at the top and work my way down, sharing every small plate on the menu. I hope they don't change it.

The woman who is currently managing it on behalf of the owner will be renting it from him when he retires (so she told me) so there are unlikely to be any significant changes.

A neighbour complained on this basis and got the offending bit of building reduced in size. You need to forget about loss of light in your garden although you might as well tack on a mention of loss of amenity (emphasise play area if you have small children). But the important bit in planning terms is the angle that sunlight will come into the windows of the relevant rooms. It is pretty simple to demonstrate. Draw a cross section of the house with the garden and new wall and calculate what the old and new angle will be. However, the dimensions you mention may not be sufficient to fall into the category where you have grounds for complaint. Look at pages 17/18 for the 25 degree rule in this document.(I'm assuming your house faces south for this to be a major issue) http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s22935/Appendix%20A%20Residential%20Design%20Standards.pdf

Probably because the contractor would have to be paid for his resources to be stood idle. That would be a waste of money.

If it was me, I'd simply make a claim as advised and refer to their 'negligence' in failing to return your vehicle to the safe position it was in prior to them moving it. Depending upon the events that required them to move your vehicle, they may not have broken any law by moving your vehicle - e.g. the works may have been required as an emergency, however, they must use reasonable care when doing anything that may foreseeably cause damage (a duty of care obligation), which they have clearly failed to do.

What is the nature of the damage caused to your car? Was the damage caused directly by the way they moved your car, or by a third party hitting it?

Do you know anyone with a drone you could borrow? It may be obvious from photographs what/where the problem is.
