Hi,
Wondering if someone can give me a bit of advice as to whether it is likely that I'd be allowed to put an extension on the back of a property I'm in the process of purchasing.
The property is an end-terrace and the neighbours next door have a conservatory which is more over to our side of their garden than the other side (i.e. the side of the conservatory is basically right on the border between theirs and ours).
We'd like to extend three metres off the back of the property along the full length of the house to create a dining room.
This will obviously mean that our wall would cover one side of their conservatory.
Is this likely to fall under the right to light rules?
I've had a look and understand the 45 degree rule but I only see examples of extending off the back of a property where the neighbour hasn't already done so themselves (i.e. by creating the conservatory).
I've attached a little mock-up of the situation. The two houses are self-explanatory, the red box is their conservatory and the green is what I plan to do. Obviously nothing is to scale, we only plan to extend out 3m.
Thanks in advance for any help.
