We live in a victorian terrace and have shared party well on one side with end terrace house. It’s 3 rooms on both floors so the room at the back (their bathroom, our third bedroom as our bathroom is still on ground floor) has a shared wall and the roof over it is a triangle shape that peaks at party wall.
Neighbours are extending the party wall in loft space above the back room to create another room. This is all ok with us and we have no objection. What is not ok is the roof and eaves in this extended room have now been built and are extending several inches over the party wall and into our “airspace.” This over-reach was not reflected in the planning permission or in the plans submitted party wall agreement. We did not specify in the pwa that they couldn’t build past boundary because the plans did not indicate they would. Can we reasonably object to this? How? Talk to neighbours? Call planning permission or building regulation? Call solicitor? Should I be concerned about our ability to someday extend into this space?
