My late grandfather 50 years ago allowed his then neighbour to build on the side path directly onto our boundary with windows looking directly into our gardenThis building has now subsided and a new neighbour is renovating the property and wants to knock down this structure and rebuild build it on a floating raft style footing, The new structure will be different in design with the front entrance door being bricked up,as well has half the side wall on my boundary but still having windows that look into my garden.Would he still be allowed to rebuild with clear glazed windows.I have read that if a wall is built on the boundary and is load-bearing,by virtue of supporting a roof,it will need to have fire resistance regardless of distance boundary. Therefore would windows be classed as a fire resistant.
Are there any new building requirements that would prevent neighbour from putting windows on boundary side ,as he is not rebuilding exactly like for like.
Any help with this matter would be appreciated.
