    Glazing area on side of the house ?

    Thanks for your reply Jeds. The house isn't listed or in a conservation area. The planning officer was reacting to a neighbours complaint and stated that it broke building regs due to the fact you couldn't enlarge the glazing area so I'm not sure where I stand ?
