Hi there.
We have recently been given planning permission to build a roughly 4 meter side extension, although the neighbours tried to get it blocked with 8 objections back to the council . One of those objections was he wants to appoint a surveyor to put in place a party wall agreement and for me to pay for it.
Having read other bits on the internet I’m not really sure a party wall agreement is needed in this regard as we will be building 50mm away from their fence and not going as deep as them for the foundations. You will see from the picture their property is on the left and mine on the right. I also heard that fences don’t come into the party wall agreement. Any clarity on this if party agreement is needed at all?
