We want to build an extension (red box).
Green area is shared drive, right of way. We are ok with this.
Next door have no garage and their fence has been moved to square off the area.

We will demolish garage.
Can we build on the red triangle and do we have to step the extension in from the side of the house or can we simply follow the existing building line?

Thanks If you can help

If it falls within PD can I Build here?

are you planning sleeping accommodation as no sleeping accommodation allowed in permitted development

This is an extension to the main home so is PD and you can sleep in it.

I think your thinking of outbuildings not attached to the house that you can not sleep in. without planning.

You need to check if your property has PD rights at all. Also, don't even consider taking the garage down until everything is clear as you may find you aren't allowed to re-build it if you can't do the extension!

Doesn't look problematic as long as the triangular bit is not part of the shared drive, over which the neighbour has a right of way. Otherwise they own the right to use that bit of land - a new owner of the house might rebuild a garage and require the land for turning. They could sell you the right of way.

This advice is worth less than you paid for it, so I would consult a solicitor who knows something about rights of way. A lot will depend on what is written down.
