That is all it took, we did not need any planning permission, since the plans had long ago been submitted and there was no exterior work on the building. The plumber and electrician informed me this morning, just before lunchtime that the apartment had passed its final inspection by the county. This means the heating and the electricity can be officially turned on. Until now it was not fully connected. The new tenants (aka my daughter, granddaughter and her future husband) are moving after school ends this summer. Our future son-in-law will use a room in our new London apartment for the summer to finish his term at the hospital. He will be in London five days a week and come up during weekends, this will only last a few months.
The daycare centre is moving along quickly, there is a lot of work, and the standards are exacting, which we expected. We are still on track to open by the end of summer, assuming no disaster, but we don't anticipate anything, the building was in good shape but required new draining to address the dampness, something the Brits are allergic to. The remedial work to improve draining reduced humidity by nearly 50% in less than two months.
Note: For those who ask, the chicks are still not in the forest, first nights are still to cool, and the chicks cannot go out until their feathers are fully grown in, it takes between 4 and 6 weeks depending on the breed.
