My neighbour from the adjoining road informed me that they were going to erect a “shed” in their back garden by my fence.
What is being built is not a shed but a brick built cavity filled building with services. It sits around 0.3m from my fence and is just over 2.8m tall.
I asked the foreign builders if they were going to cover the bare wibberley wobbley walls and they said no so I kicked off at the home owner who is now going to fund cladding to the fence line..
I have discovered the building needs planning permission, as it is too close and too high while the home owner didn’t think it did, as it was no bigger than 15 square metres. Who is correct?
The council will be coming out in around 10 days time to look at it but what action will they take? Will they tell the home owner to submit a planning application or will they tell the home owner to knock it down? I am letting the builders clad it today from my side, as I don’t want to be looking at a shanty through the summer and if it is given planning permission I wanted it clad now while that option is open to me.
Note the gap and the two different sized fascia boards.
