Selfish developers / Neighbours
Discussion
I've just seen on yahoo an article where a developer/neighbour has built an extension right up to the house next door. I've seen on here where people have posted asking advice where similar extension have been done. Is this due to the relaxed rules on permitted development? It appears in this case that planning permission was required and subsequently applied for and granted. I'd be devastated if a neighbour built right up to my home, I feel for the couple.
It's horrible. I can't understand the point of doing it, not only affects the neighbour's house but who would buy the house with the extension like that.
What's a surveyor going to say when he sees the guttering on the roof.
Sad state of affairs when someone feels they can build without approval and also build something that hasn't been approved.

I don't know if this is true but I was once told that if you want to build an extension which you know you won't get planning permission for then just apply for planning permission for a more moderate, smaller extension and then build the bigger one anyway and more often than not you'll get away with it.
This quite literally was 'pub talk' so not sure if it was bks or not. It can't be true can it?

This is absolutly shocking, I'm dumbfounded that this extention would be allowed to stand.
It's a sorrowful state of how corruption within local Councils, planning departments etc, how certain groups within our society behave and ignore or play the system, and it seems to be getting worse.

There must be some reason why the council allowed regulations to be ridden over roughshod...
They haven't.I have all the information you could possible need to explain this story from start to finish. With the world being such a small place though, that won't happen on a public forum.
I shall watch from afar....
Devil's advocate - but why is it ok for one house to be built within mm of the boundary line and not the other? If you want space around your house, buy one that sits in the middle of your plot of land.
However, I agree the extension is terrible and I'd be absolutely gutted if I lived next door to it.

Not according to my architect. This quite literally was 'pub talk' so not sure if it was bks or not. It can't be true can it?
He's got a client who is in a pain with the local planning department and neighbours by doing just this.
