Hi 

I have an apartment on Dream Hills 2 with a roof terrace, im looking to put a pergoda with a tiled roof on there for shade and cooking outside, can anyone recommend a company that supplies them in a kit or who can come and build one?

I live in the UK and only get over a few times a year,

Thanks

Be aware that to make a construction which  you describe you will  almost certainly require permission from the community,  plus a building licence from the Town Hall  That you will have a roof will probably mean that you will need to submit architects plans etc. As the owner it will be your responsibility.-

Thanks for the information. Is it because it has a tile roof it will need planning permission?

it will come in kit form 10x10. How easy is it to get permission by planning? 

Sam

Check with your community president for the community process  / rules etc and the town hall, you will probably need to consult wth your neighbours and get them to agree it is OK as part of community rules (and common courtesy)

The process is simple (when you know it of course) and many town halls have relaxed a lot of requirments over the years

Have any neighbours done similar

Don't worry too much and good luck

From enquiries  I made some years ago the building permission from the town hall is more stringent where there is a potential danger to people.  Having a solid/hard/heavy roof over a place where people will be, was considered as a situation of potential danger and thus the rules were applied more stringently.

Over the past few days having experienced an earthquake of 6.3 magnitude, and  several aftershocks, when our building swayed,  lamps swung, and doors rattled,  the strength of something like a roof seems a lot more important than it might have done a couple of weeks ago !

valid point but

enquiries  I made some years ago

as i said over the past few years things have changed for many town halls

the ONLY way for sam to be sure is ask the community and the town hall that covers his area

What ever you, me or anyone esle has done in the past is irrevelvant and of little or no help at this point to sam and will only confuse or worry sam

No need to add anything else unless someone has recently in the last few months done exaclty the same where Sam lives

But as the building regs have not changed the same rules apply. 

And I did say " .....  you will  almost certainly require permission from the community,  plus a building licence from the Town Hall"

Thanks both for the information, frustrating thing is im not over there til July now and wanted the work doing in May, will speak to my neighbour and get the contact details for the president.

No doubt i will be back on here asking for advice!!! Sam is short for Samantha by the way!! (x)

Hi does anyone know where i could buy some palletts from in the area?

Samantha

Sorry can't hep with pallets

Please do the right thing and check for yourself locally

Please, please don't take the info on regs etc on here as gospel and treat them with a pinch of salt, this is Spain and every area / town hall tend to be different - can be very frusyrating and confusing

At least you have some knowledge of what questions you need to ask and what you may or not need

A friend of mine did something very similar on the roof of his bungalow (which I helped him with) and the town hall in LM stated no licence or fee was required all he had to do was to get agreements from his neighbours in writing (email sufficed for one) and present this to the community president for final approval (which was given without question) and the community records etc.

Again good luck

Thanks for the help, my first point of contact is the president, im sure she will have an idea.

Much appreciated
