Our neighbours are building a large extension. They don’t have planning permission and it’s a complete eyesore. It comes up to our boundary line and their builders have made a huge mess of our garden.
The thing is, nobody apart from them and us can see it. If we complain it would obviously be us (back of their house, only overlooked by us).
It comes out maybe 20 foot to the rear of their house, and 10 foot to the side, wrapping the building in an L shape. I mentioned to them that I hadn’t seen any planning and was told that as it’s at the rear and not visible, it didn’t need any, and it’s their forever home so resale doesn’t concern them.
It hugely impacts us as where we had a hedge, we now have a wall. And it’s massive! It comes close to our building.
We aren’t sure what to do. We don’t want to fall out with them. We don’t even mind a reasonable extension… but this is just so big. The eves of it actually overhang into our garden. But now it’s half built they aren’t going to change it…
