Hi all desperately seeking advice!
Going to keep this as short and straight to the point as possible...
We are near finishing our rear dormer but we have recently noticed some MAJOR issues that our builder either noticed and thought he could keep quiet or was just stupid enough to not even realise he had done it (although I’ve looked at photos of previous builds and he has done so).
He has not set the dormer back the required 20cm, the outside is now finished, even painted!
It was clearly stated in our drawings that it should have been back 20cm and we do not have planning for it not to be so.
He has also built the side wall straight up from the parapet wall.
What I want to know is what my options are here.
Is the parapet wall an issue?
Would I need new structural engineer calculations?
Will building control have an issue with this?
Will I be able to get retrospective planning on it not being set back 20cm?
Would this lack of set back required an additional steel?
Any information would be truly appreciated.
Jake
