I found this article interesting if not least because I found it funny that the complaining neighbour states that she thought there would be a maintenance gap between the two extensions. What - all circa 3 inches of it?!

The couple who infilled - are they wrong?

my neighbour build up to the party wall on their GF extension and we built ours, we left a gap although we were tempted to use their flank wall because it prevented us from building write up to the party wall that they already did.

What are everyone’s thoughts about this?

You can't really form an opinion without knowing all the facts and there are very few facts in the article.
 
My only comment is that it looks like they are both living in a favela
 
Only in Central London would anyone pay £1.5m for one of those houses :eek:

Love the way the Metro has pitched it as "Hipsters v. Banker" :rolleyes:

And no-one is on "trial", as the article states :rolleyes:

That is East Dulwich, not even close to being Central London. Nice area but my god 1.5million for those monstorosities you really do need your head examining.

Horrific blight. Full width/depth flat roof dormers. What are architects thinking? Where is their pride? I love it when you see a meandering SVP that the architect drew as nice neat lines and an ickle circle. Next we'll be seeing folk build right up to the boundary with hideous lash-ups of flush eaves, troublesome parapets and gutter detail.

FFS.:rolleyes:
 
All the comments received so far are nothing to do with my question at hand!

The breaching of the boundary was for the greater good in my opinion. I'm sure this pointless dispute will make lawyers that bit richer without anyone actually gaining anything. Utterly pointless dispute.

Can't really blame the architects though. They'll design whatever is within the limitations of planning and to fit the client's brief. Not all architects get to spend all their time working on fancy Grand Designs type projects :(

Is that sufficient comment? Speaking as a tradesman: the architect designs it, the customer pays for it, the main contractor pays me - and I know my place... ;)

Under the law yes, you are trespassing if you use someone else's land without reasonable belief that it is OK. Since the neighbour has said its not OK, it is now a trespass.
Under common sense, it might not be worth arguing, but it seems the party wall surveyors missed that one at the time.

Does seem funny, although I think that is beside the point. The real point is she didn't think the neighbours contractor wouldbuild anything in her land, and it turns out they did.
