good question. the local authority may argue that (4) A planning authority may include in a list referred to in sub-article (1) any other information in respect of planning applications which the authority considers appropriate. gives them the right to include a sec 5 on the weekly...

yes.... you can surface mount and box in the pipe work. a lot depends on the layout and configuration of your house and plumbing system.

i think you have your physics a bit wrong here. insulation is made of of lots of tiny trapped air pockets, which slows down the rate of heat loss as heat moves quicker through solids than air.... however you have only added one air gap.... the resultant slowing down is minimal to say the least...

the name of a complainant is withheld from any FOI request in accordance with section 3 1 b teh ONLY way this can be overturned is by the direct intervention by teh information commissioner... which is unlikely.
