We're not in Mansfield, that's a good 6 miles away. We're nearer Sherwood Forest...
That statement kind of says it all.Hyacinth Bouquet, much?

I'm glad we're here not there though, as in The Well our house would likely be £260K, with a mortgage to match.
The nearest EG's currently on the market -

Not at all. I wouldn't want anyone being under the misapprehension that we live in Mansfield. It's a dump. If you lived in Windsor would you like people to believe you live in Slough, after all, they're neighbours too.
Windsor, eh? Next door to the Queen, you mean? Yes, I can see how that would appeal to you as an analogy! Well, that would work if Mansfield was the shabby neighbour to somewhere nice. Looking at Google Maps, you seem to be about equidistant from Mansfield, Worksop and Chesterfield, so take your pick... they're all s
tholes. I was born and raised 'about 6 miles' from Leeds (actually, it was about 7.5.. the extra mile and a half would make all the difference to you, no doubt).
I could argue that it was 'in the Aire Valley', or 'nearer to the Ancient Kingdom of Elmet than to Leeds', if I were a desperately grasping social climber, but strangely I've never seen the need to say anything other than 'Leeds' whenever I am asked where I came from originally.

Unless you know their financial circumstances? For all we know that's their life savings going into something to improve their lot. Sorry but your post is well out of order.Fermit and Sexy Sarah said:
Anything I've said about the neighbour is factual and I can't recall slagging him off, further than stating we feel he's a bit selfish about how he's going about it.

At least moving it away from the boundary line gives him room to put in the soil stack. 
And of course there's no need to show the outlet from the WC extract fan on the Planning drawings, which will be at about face level on that side of the porch... or at least it would be if I were designing it.

We've had pictures of the front of the neighbours house, his rear garden, his sheds and been told what he gets up to in them. I don't see what problem putting up an edited pic of the intended carbuncle porch up which is available on a public website anyway.
It's a matter of public record.Application here if the link works (sometimes they time out).
Otherwise, it's application ref. 19//00240/FUL at Bolsover District Council, if anyone cares.
He's done well to get it validated, on the basis of those drawings: if I submitted that sort of crap as a professional agent, they'd throw it straight back at me.

Having just come back from speaking with our local planning office it seems far less clear cut that it's going to get approval than he's made out. Some useful information given our way.
