Can someone clear up a few things for me please?

Firstly we need to rebuild our garage as it's falling down. It's built against, but not part of, the party wall between us & the neighbours.From my reading of the party wall act we'd only need to notify our neighbour in writing if we dig new foundations, is that correct?

Secondly, when I've checked planning law it says garages etc can only be 2.4 (or 2.5M I forget exactly) high & single storey. Our neighbour thinks she can build two stories without planning permission. Who's right?

Cheers all.

Her outbuilding she wants to extend upwards is connected to the boundary wall, so will need planning from what your saying.
