Planning permission - turning a detahced into a semi

[oblio]

Mods: I'm not sure if this fits here or in Speed, Plod and the Law so please move if incorrectly placed....

All else being equal, could PP be granted on one detached property where the extension would in effect turn both it and the detached property next door into semi detached?

Out NDN mentioned they were considering applying for PP last summer to do just this (extend over their garage and put an extra bedroom on which would attach to our house).

Cheers

Thanks both

yes link detached would be a better description - sorry

Their garage is attached to our house. The previous owners of ours (in fact the ones before that) extended our house so that we do have a bedroom above our garage. The neighbours want to do the same.

Whilst part of me would say that they should be afforded the same right as whoever owned our house at the time it was done to ours; the other part of me is concerned regarding values as this house represents a fair chunk of our retirement plan so equity in our property is needed!

Thanks folks

That does reassure somewhat

Once again, thanks...I'll do some research
