I just realised we’re about to start works in a week or two and we have a terraced house, but our extension is 4m deep.
Building control is ok with our application (building notice), neighbour is ok with the works proposed (party wall), thames water is ok with the drainage (build over agreement).
How much trouble am I in without the prior approval? For the record, we currently have a shed that extends 3.4m behind the house, this will be demolished and replaced by a slightly larger extension, so the neighbour will have about 60cm extra wall on that side. This is far away from the imaginary 45 degree line from his closest window.
1. Will building control sign this off without prior approval, if everything else is ok?
2. It says online that prior approval can’t be obtained retrospectively, why is this? Planning application can be.
What’s the worst case scenario? Will a full planning permission application do if it comes to anyone complaining?
Thanks
