Looking at houses at the moment,

One we like is link detached via single story garage. The neighbouring house extended above the garage with planning permission, only objection was a random neighbour (not the house for sale) and it was approved. Now if we wanted to do the same, is that likely to be rejected as you'd have to join up to the other extension and essentially downgrade it to semi detached ?


The other house we like is fully detached. Could benefit from the same extension above side garage. What sort of scenarios could cause it to rejected ? There are no similar planning permissions lodged online for that road. I just think it seems fairly safe considering a linked detached property was fine.

The adjacent house has a small window on the side that could get less light, looks to be a stairway / small bathroom window though.
