    Thanks Dave, that's big progress on the tunnel, it feels seriously long now! Lights look good! I'm amazed how quickly you come up with those sheet metal folded designs. Don't stress yourself out with this, we can wait if things take longer! Keep spending your time with your family, they're much more important than us on UA-cam, even if there are 30k of us.

    Roots of some plants can definitely go deep to find moisture. If you have a layer of gravel if collects and keeps water so the roots travel down it. We have pipes at 2-3 m sometimes and the tree roots find their way in to them

    I guess the Planners would have mentioned that if they really want you to remove something in order to allow the new thing, the most effective thing is to say (as a condition of the permission, set out on the decision notice) you can't commence or occupy the new thing until the old thing is demolished. Alternatively they would give a timeframe to remove it. Unless you are in the Green Belt and there is a limit on the volume of extensions to the original house, I still think (admittedly without the benefit of knowledge of the site, area and local planning policy) it is a bit harsh to require you to remove the conservatory.
