Englishman's Home: Shark Aquarium

Jump to newest

Are there any local authority planning processors here?

I own my little terraced house. I am considering adding an extra storey. I was thinking a nice glass aquarium. You know, the sort of thing you see at those Sea World places. A few shoals of fish. A few sharks.

I think this would add value to my property. (PS. Anyone willing to clean the algae off? Once or twice a week. We can come to an arrangement. Insured folk only).

I tried the local authority website. It will cost be over £20,000 to apply for outline planning permission! That is with "reserved items" (I thought it would be nice if the sharks could have a window to open when it gets hot in summer but appreciate it is just an extra).

I think this would be a real addition and attraction to the local neighbourhood which, to be honest, is a bit boring. Wouldn't passers by enjoy being able to see nature at work (especially nature at work when the algae cleaner dips his/her toe in).

To cut it short, I own this bleeding land. I pay my bleeding council tax. £20,000 just to ask for permission? What happened to an Englishman's castle, eh?&

Build a conservatory on the back and stick your sharks in that

"You should get a gun, too"

For those robbing planners? You might well be right.

"Build a conservatory on the back and stick your sharks in that "

The salesman at the door thought I was mad when I suggested that. And everyone knows that the permitted square footage of a conservatory without planning permission is not going to house more than half a shark. (Is half a shark better than a whole shark?)

£20,000 just for outline planning? It is an outrage.

£20,000 for a residential building? I thought it'd be less than £500

No, seriously, it was that much. I don't believe it.

Mad. It is MY house.

Have you checked with the Planning Portal? And RSPCA.

My American millionaire friend had a conservatory built on the back of his London pad - reclaimed bricks, sash windows, underfloor heating. £60k.

This room is 17ft by 18ft.

They saw him coming.

Reclaimed bricks don't come cheap

Well, doh, enough water to fill an extra floor. Jeez, are you a planner?

£20,000? It would be a stunning addition to the neighbourhood.

Absolutely not a planner but know how heavy water can be - I wondered about the structural strength to hold it all. I may have missed it - dimensions?

I've no clue why a planning submission is so high, where they're doing little but be a portal.

I'm not planning on heavy water. That is nuclear shit. I'm not hoping to breed Sharknadoes.

It would be a lovely community attraction. You know, like those houses at Christmas with lots of lights and parachuting Santas. Only sharks.

I could. Then I would be contributing to the ecosystem. They might even swim down to Pompey and eat a few residents.

But you are missing the point.

That was where it started - I was looking at reclaimed bricks for our patio and was looking at 90-95p per brick, so I casually asked how much he paid for his...

"Oh I don;t know," he said, and got out this massive invoice, "£7.5k?"

Cheap compared to the planning application fee.
