We had our meeting with Chema, and Bob and Pam, last night and the outcome is that we are going to make immediate plans to start building the house straight away.
Straight away meaning:
When Chema has produced the building plans in two weeks time.
When we have made out an itinerary of events, concerning the house building program.
When we have also pinned the builder down to price, time scale, penalty clauses and we and the builder are satisfied with the whole building contract.
When we have made arrangements to move the caravan and the portacabin over to the lay-by. We will call in to see the caravan man when we go up to Murcia to meet my cousin Barbara on Tuesday.
It seems that we have full permission to have a house on this site, but the problem is that we do not have a house on the site right now. If someone came up on an inspection we might be in a sticky position trying then to build a house. If someone comes up to inspect after we have floor, walls and roof then they would expect the house to be there.
This, in the eyes of Chema, Bob and Pam, seems to be the only and very best of otherwise not very good options, such as re-applying to build, starting the whole process again. This could take up to two years with the chaos going on in the Albox planning department at the moment. Because they have up to two thousand illegal homes and developers to cope with right now, little us with our one house on 45000sq mtrs and already permission for a house to be there, will be very low profile.
Any way here we go at last.
We were sat on the patio at Lentisco’s this morning in the very pleasant sunshine and it suddenly dawned on me that all of the trees still have a very healthy coating of leaves. When we got back to the caravan I also saw that most of the almond trees still have a lot of leaves on them ,although they are starting to look a little bit ‘backendish’. We have worked this morning and even with the rain forecast we are sat up here, not being able to see very far, in the lovely sunshine. We understand that the UK (not sure where) is having very high winds and gales at the moment so we hope that all our family and many friends are safe and sound.
