The UK’s New Building Regulations
Conservation of Fuel and Power – New Part
On 1 October 2010 the new UK building regulations came into force and replaced the previous 2006 version. They apply to non-residential and residential buildings, including those for which planning permission has been granted, but work not yet started.

Self Catering UK Family Holidays
Self catering UK holidays refer to accommodations in villas, flats, apartments, cottages and anywhere else besides a hotel. This type of accommodation does not have anyone looking after your needs or desires, nor are there any meals provided. You are given a place to stay for a certain period of time to utilise and spend a holiday in.
Self catering UK family holidays are becoming increasingly popular with their cost effective and flexible schedule advantages. They are considerably cheaper than staying in a hotel, you get to look around and experience the local goods to take back and cook a delicious home cooked meal within your accommodation.
This arrangement is ideal for families with children who are comfortable with a home-like environment. You have the flexible control over your schedule of when you would like to eat, what you would like to eat, when you would like to rest or sleep and how long you would like to spend time outside experiencing the local life and attractions. There are a variety of unique dwellings and interesting accommodations to plan self catering UK family holidays. Continue reading

Government sponsored ‘eco villages’ have made the news for a number of reasons, and there are small developments of eco-homes throughout the UK.
