My neighbour has just presented me with a set of plans for a huge extension to the side of his house, taking his house hard up to the boundary between the gardens, and to within 6 feet of my gable wall.
I'm wondering how best to object such that it'll be taken seriously by the council.
I have a window on the second floor facing the boundary, and the proposed gable end will only be 6 feet away from it, blocking out a lot of light - is this a good enough reason?
also, he has a central heating outlet on the gable wall which, if not relocated elsewhere, would be venting straight into my garden into the 6 feet gap.
If he gets approval, I don't see how they can build it, then rough-cast it without access to my garden for scaffolding etc. Can I stop them from doing this? How about things like foundations & eaves as well - would they not have to extend over the boundary line?
I'm not against him building an extension as such, but think he could stop a metre back from the boundary line.
Any one had similar experiences?
Thanks,
Jim
