That can be a double edged sword if you are dealing with the council... it depends what they are like...

Best of luck!

When I was thinking of buying the POD, I dropped into the council to see what I would have to do since their regs/codes didn't cover observatories. I gave them copies of the plans off the Skyshed POD website. They slept on it overnight and advised me the next day that it was an exempt development... I guess there was nothing in the design they felt they had the expertise to challenge to rake in an extra funds, so they gave up. If they had told me I'd need a BA and/or DA I wouldn't have a POD now!
