Sorry pre-warning slightly long post.
Next door are a nice couple who have never caused us any problems until now.
We live in an end terrace house and they live in a detached house to the side of us. About a year ago they built a monster shed, which pretty much looks like a small bungalow in their back yard which which faces the "free" side of our house. It has electric,slate tiles and conservatory like windows and doors.I believe they use it as office space but apart from it looking a bit ugly, this wasnt an issue and life went on as normal. That was until about three weeks ago when i came home from work and noticed that they decided to place an extension to this "Shed".
This extension extends from one side of their "shed" and is attached to the free side of our house. So basically i now live in a mid terrace house!
I went round and spoke to them about this and they basically said it wasn't attached to the side of the house and there was nothing to be concerned about.I contested this and said that it was as clearly attached as they had attached wooden plinths to the side of our house to support the structure. They had also attached the grey gravel type roof covering to the roof of the extension and our house leaving a 6 inch uneven and ugly boarder going up the side of our house,so clearly attached.
Anyway I decided to contact our local planning office to see if we had missed any planning application for this. In order for them to look this up they needed next doors address which i supplied and i was told there was no planning applications for this property.
I left it there with them and said i would speak to next door to sort things out and there was no need to get involved from their end.
My DH actually did the sorting out which basically meant he went round and had a nice chat and he agreed that nothing needed to be done. Annoying Af but I left it as the day of their chat we had an offer on our house and the buyer didn't seem to have an issue with it, so why should i bother kicking a fuss up if we werent going to live there for much longer and the new owner wasn't botherd. Had this not happened i would have pursued this further as i deal with house sales and boundary disputes prevent sales all the time.
Anyway next door came round today slightly annoyed as apparently planning have been round and have instructed them to remove not only the extension but also the monster shed! Woohoo! Or so i thought, now DH is annoyed at me for grassing them up!
Really though? They constructed a monster shed without permission and then attached it to the side of our house without permission.
AIBU to not feel any remorse for accidentally grassing them up? I feel sad that they have wasted a lot of money on both projects but at the end of the day get planning and show some respect for others surely?
