Hi I hope anyone would be able to help or at least give a bit of advice please.
Long story short...we live on a corner plot, our neighbour who’s house is at the bottom of our garden applied for a first floor extension. We were originally notified by the council but as there were applying for one obscured window to the side we didn’t raise any concerns. Fast forward a few months, the built has started and much to our surprise another window appeared on the side of the extension. We checked the plans online and apparently they have been resubmitted including the extra window which is going to be clear! Not only we didn’t know anything about it as we haven’t been informed about change in plans, but also apparently you can’t have a clear window if the property is 22 meters or less away from a neighbouring one. We are 21 meters away from them. The problem is that the plans have been approved by some rooky contractor who no longer works for the council. Planning department is washing their hands from it and if I have to speak to yet another person in that department I think I will go crazy! I don’t want to be unreasonable and they can keep their extra window in but I would like it to be obscured as the whole garden and back of the property including my daughters room is overlooked! What chance do I have for them to put extra conditions in the original agreement, what is the best way to go about it?
