Thanks for your replies, it is good to know what the possible options are. I just still find it hard for such size extensions to be built with planning permissions. As you say if they do go for planning permission and want to build near the boundary then at least we can object and it gives us a...

That is our problem, we do not know what they are going to do. Just noticed a couple of architects in their garden discussing it, so we want to be prepared if they come round and tell us, or we see something on the planning portal. Guess if they keep greater then 2m from our boundary they can...

Thanks, but if you look at the plan, you will see their existing outside wall of their house is within 2m of our house? So does that limit them what they can build? I guess if they extend from the existing side wall the extension would be within 2 metres of our fence, does that limit them? If...

Hope the below helps.

We live in a detached house and our neighbours maybe looking to build an extension to the rear. Their outside wall of their house runs parallel to our house approx 1.60m away. So: 1. Are they allowed to build a two storey extension as long as they slope the roof to 3m eaves level (presuming 3...

Hi again, Just started looking at this again and scraped all the cracked and flaking paint off. Looks as though the plasterboard never met the wall in some places by approx 5-10mm. So it looks as though somebody has filled it with some plast or something, this has then cracked or moved and...

As you can tell I know nothing about this. Just had a look again and it looks as the plaster board or plaster was flush against the door frame and it looks as though something has shrunk or moved causing the plasterboard or plaster to come away from being flush against the door frame. Its only...

Hi, I have a crack between the wall and the front door frame inside the house all the way around. The crack is approx 3mm around but in someplaces a little wider. Its looks as though the door frame has shrunk or moved around 2mm away from the wall due to weather/settlement. I posted earlier...

oh dear, two conflicting metods of sorting. The acylic decorators caulk? Will this be in my local B&Q and if so, what are the trade names people would recommend for this. What will it be like to paint over this? I am looking at just using a couple of good coats of emulsion on the wall. Will this...
