First post, so please be gentle.
My parents live in a 1930s detached house in a cul-de-sac, approximately 50 houses in total, a mix of semi-detached but mainly detached.
The next door neighbour (also detached) has recently gained planning permission to install 2 windows at first floor level on the flank wall over-looking the car port (none of the other houses have applied for this ever) which means that they will need access to my parents property.
We are totally opposed to any access for builders but are being told that the 'Party Wall Agreement' will be sufficient to allow access.
My question is this: Can they do this and how can we stop it?
The Party Wall Act is a minefield and we are searching for any help you might be able to give us.
Apologies if this has been mentioned before - we just need help please.
Thanks for reading.
