We are going away and our normal dog-sitter is unable at the last minute to look after our dog. We're looking for someone who could take her (lovely Yorkshire Terrier, 7 years old, very friendly) into their home or could dog-sit for us (or any other alternative solutions). Please DM if you can help or know someone who can. Thank you.

Thanks for the info - and thanks for the summary as I'm afraid I can't make head nor tail of legalese!! Briefly, that means as follows: 1. L cannot refuse/delay consent to an alteration that improves the property. 2. L cannot charge a lump sum fee. 3. L can charge only its properly-incurred legal and administrative fees for issuing consent. With regard to point 3 - could they not argue that this charge (£300) is to cover their costs for legal and administrative fees? If you could advise me on the simplest and easiest way to proceed I'd be very grateful. (obviously I'd prefer not to pay the £300 but would do if it's all above board and legal... it's just that I get the feeling that they're trying to see if they can make some easy cash out of us.....)

Coppen Estates want to charge me about £300 for "permission" to have a one storey extension built on my home. Is this standard practice? Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this - any advice etc gratefully received!

I think about £1.70?

I disagree - speed kills at end of the day

definitely Birkdale, yes.

Aztec carpets on Crookes may be ok?

no, it would create sink areas.
