About 4 years ago we had a single side extension that had the existing single detached garage joined to the main property as show in the attached picture. A second picture also shows the rear of the property.
On the council planning pages it says "To avoid the terracing effect that sometimes occurs when two-storey extensions are built to the boundary of the site, a one-metre gap should normally be retained between the extension and the site boundary".
As the single storey sits right on the boundary to our next door neighbour would planning have a problem with adding a second storey based on the 1 metre boundary rule? I know it says in the above quoted text a one-metre gad should normally be retained but in my case there is nothing to be retained. So I was wondering if there would be any potential exception in my case given the existing extension already is on the boundary as was the previous single detached garage?
My next door neighbours property has a pathway to their rear garden more easily seen in the second picture which is more than 1 metre at the closest point.
Thanks in advance!
