So we put in a planning application to do a side extension on our property which included a hip to gable roof change.
The street has already had a hip to gable change on others but they were detached while mine is a semi.
We had a council member show interest and blocked the roof aspect after our said neighbour complained saying it didnt fit with street and would be dominating on their drive that sites between our two homes.
So we got approval with a hipped roof. The builders are not happy about the roof as due tot he shape of the extension its a big messy job so this added to our cost.
We have not started our extension yet (start in 3 months) and we now find that the neighbour who objected and started the ball that got it blocked is having a hip to gable with Dormer roof conversion done on his building.
Ignoring the fact there objection stated they felt it didnt fit with the street the other object was regarding it being dominating to there drive. There building sits about 50cm higher than ours so there Gable roof would be far more dominating but clearly this no longer bothers them
We dont care to stop them we just want our cheaper and smarter gable roof back. Since the council has now given them permission are we not able to request ours also be approved?
Does anyone have any advice or comment on this please?
