Hi all
A neighbour has asked for advice regarding a new garage that her neighbours are building at the end of their own garden.
Some time back her neighbours replaced the fence between the two properties. Given that her neighbours' existing garage was close to the boundary, they "stole" a couple of inches from her land. At the time she wasn't particularly bothered.
Now they want to build a full width garage (ie 5m rather than 3.8m). The properties are terraced houses, approx 5m wide. She is annoyed that they: a) want to build to the line defined by their encroaching fence and b) want to have a roof overhang that extends even further in to her garden.
She is unable to contact the local council- the line is constantly busy. Any suggestions as to how she should proceed?
Many thanks.
Edit--------- i don't know her neighbours but the fact that they are blocking the communal drive at the back of our properties with their skip speaks volumes.
