The bricky that built the extension is arguing that the structure is not an extension but a conservatory. If that were true would that exempt it from planning permission?
Thanks
Do you think I should be paying my share?
This from my first post:The extension is lawful, but in any event that's totally irrelevant to the other problem which is the damp.
Not sure I get you. I'm assuming your balcony was there first. Are you saying the downstairs flat is using your balcony for the roof of the extension.
The original structure of the block was such that the downstairs maisonettes had a recess in the building which ran about a third of the way along the building from the centre line of the block. These formed a little patio area outside the kitchen doors of the ground floor maisonettes and the corresponding recesses in the upstairs maisonettes are cement and asphalt balconies outside their kitchen doors. The difference to the structure now is that my downstairs neighbour has an extension added where his patio recess was, as described above. So his extension roof is my balcony floor and some additional pitched polycarbonate sheeting to take it out about 1 metre proud of the original structure.
