Hi All,
I've recently received a letter from my local council informing me that my neighbour is planning a single storey rear extension.
In principle - I have no objections with the rear extension as I have my own and have done so for almost 10 years. Mine currently sits at an extension of 4.5m from the original wall. The neighbours are requesting 6m with a max height of 3.9m and height of the eaves of 2.8m.
Also worth noting - on the council planning website, they haven't bothered to fill in an application form and the drawing plans are of a completely different property.
As a result - the additional 1.5m length is going to protrude fairly significantly onto the side of the garden and potentially block light coming into the window and room. Naturally I'd have welcomed a conversation with the neighbour but they haven't even bothered to inform me.
Any tips on raising a potential objection or should I just not bother? Thanks.
