The problem with an injunction or taking civil action is I have no money for it. Planning say the council won't help unless the build is oversized. If I can't get help from the council all I can do now is demand the fence is reinstalled correctly and then put trellises up against the...

A quick update: All of the workmen there have said they aren't happy with the overhangs and think it's wrong but they're just doing what they're told. I've spoken to the planning dept at the council and asked for advice and they say it's a civil issue and will phone me later with advice...

Not entirely sure how to post pics on here..... Have spoken to my neighbs and they are going to speak to their builder but I'm not too hopeful. Have also spoken to other people in the road who have the same extension but stepped it in from the boundary by a couple of bricks. Their reasons...
