Hi All
I am not at all sure as to what exactly is going on next door. My neighbour has lodged a number of planning applications and has had them approved but isn't satisfied with the build which wasn't bad. Inially he opted for a double story extension at back with a loft conversion and dormer window. He also paid for a joint application hoping he will have an extended dormer window. A delegation decision was given that both properties must build concurrently. This didn't happen and I questioned the planning office about this. They said they cannot do anything.
At start of march 2010 I recieved a letter from a company based in London dealing with party wall disputes informing that another planning application has been lodged but no word from local planning office. I spoke to some one within the company and they have confirmed that an application has been submitted to local planning office and the reason I am not informed is building control may not want me to know.
Work has started this week again to extend the dormer window but with a huge steel RSJ arriving yesterday makes me suspect something fishy is going on. It could be a major structual alteration is planned without my knowledge. I am concerned about all this can have a detrimental affect on my property. How can I find out what is going on. Thanks in advance.
