Permission Required

Over the last couple of weeks as we have been working on the steps we have had several people who live nearby popping up and saying that we shouldn't be doing what we were with the steps and that we should speak to the council. So today with help from our friend sheila we did. And yes we should have spoken to them as it is effectively a public right of way. But the council have no problem with what we are doing but we just need the correct permit. So I have filled in the correct forms and supplied the relevant documentation and we should have the required license to do the work in about 3 weeks. On the other front we have confirmed that in order to do the bathroom and terrace we need to have an architect sign off the plans.

I wonder if it's a regulation (as it is in the UK sometimes) to display the permit externally whilst you're doing the work? If it is, that would be great as it would put the minds at rest of the locals who have shown an interest thus far. If it isn't then I wonder would it be worth displaying the permit somewhere anyway?

Oh I intend to display it very promently. That way they will know that we have permission
