Hello Property Hubbers, My name’s Tom and I am a first time poster on here. I am hoping to get in touch with a few people who may be able to help / get involved in a project I’m looking to start in the Spring next year. I bought a house in Croydon last year and with it came a small strip of land (circa 20m x 5m). As it’s in a relatively built-up area I went to a pre-planning meeting with the Council earlier this year to discuss viability of building on the plot. The outcome was essentially positive in that the planners are happy with us building a property there (in pri
