Morning all
A friend of mine had a neighbour move in, to the property at the rear of his house, a few years back. Since this new new neighbour moved in a few years ago they have built a rear extension + put up a boundary wall. Recently they have put up a detached pre-fab single garage also. Now the problem with the garage is that the end of it oversteps onto my friends garden by approx 25cm.
Therefore we've got approx 0.75m2 of there garage overstepping onto my friends land. Now he has tried to ammicably resolve it, but the neighbours seem oblivious to his concerns. They are now beginning to knock down the originally built boundary wall, which leads me to think that they will build a new boundary wall from the new garage line + therefore attempt to take even more land.
Now I've told him to take pictures etc etc + I've had a look at the site plan he got from the council. Now these plans come at 1:1250, we can enlarge them, but it's gonna be difficult to get exact locations of boundaries (we are talking about a 25cm overstep). The local Planning Dept have said he has permission for the garage + he shouldn't have overstepped into the adjacent garden BUT they can do nothing about it.
Question is..........who can we contact next + have you got any advice please?
