I’m looking for some advice regarding my property which I have recently purchased. It was built by Miller Homes in 2016. The house next door to me has just sold and my girlfriend overheard the new owners talking about their grand designs for it. These include:
Converting the integrated garage in to a room
Extending the front of the house to create a garage on the parking space
Building the garage to join on to my detached property
Building over a sewer pipe from my en-suite which runs on a strip of land to the side of my house
Building on/near a strip of land that belongs to me as my meters are on that side of the house
Building a rear extension that will cast shade over my patio area
Has anyone encountered similar issues? I know there are a number of restrictive covenants on the transfer document which prohibit most of the above plans. Who enforces these though? It sounded like they’re going to get on with the work asap from what was said. I can only assume that they are regarding it as being permitted development. Needless to say I’m slightly concerned but would rather have some facts to hand when hopefully they have the decency to discuss their plans with me.
