HI
I am new today with this website so I am happy to introduce myself. I am Rob Waterhouse, live in Cornwall and am considering buying a plot of land in the Dordogne and in Bretagne.

Thing is I want to be fully prepared so will need to ask a few questions. One is where to go for advice on obtaining planing permission to build. and the second (today) is about architects plans. Whilst buying a place in Ireland we found that we could buy a huge book full of ready made architect's plans and styles of houses. Does this facility exist in France? or do we have to find ideas for ourselves or consult a qualied architect.

I am VERY green on regulations in France so any help, pointers, web links etc etc would be very gratefully received.

I have allowed my email address to be seen by everyone on this site so I would quite happily receive advice from experienced member (in fact anyone with advice)
Thanks
Rob
