No need for planning permission in Birmingham

Build what you like. Look at this, especially the overhanging guttering picture.

The council is right not to intervene - it is a private matter between the neighbours.

Trespass surely?

Trespass surely?

Why? Nobody mentions it overstepping the boundary?

 

[Newboy]

Well the gutters overlap so somebody is oversailing somebody else's boundary?

"Incredibly, Mr Nazir started the development even though he did not have planning permission.

"But despite numerous objections from the couple, who say half the new building blocks out sunlight from their property, the council have now approved the development."

I don't suppose this could be along the lines of what happened recently in Rotherham, could it?

there will be several similar disputes in every area throughout the country but few will be news worthy as real things off importance will have taken place
whilst its worth a mention within a few streets off where it happened beyond that its unimportant to the rest off the country

I think the possibility of councils failing to act fairly due to the fear of being accused of 'racism' is of concern to us all.
