Name changed just in case
Can anyone tell me what permissions someone needs to do a loft extension in a terraced house? Building control, planning etc
Do they need a party wall agreement? What I should be concerned about, or even if I should be concerned given it's not unusual to have done. I am the ajoining house. They are the end house.
Just heard them talking outside about scaffolding and craning beams out.
They seem to do works themselves and I'm concerned they may not be qualified, work might not be done to the required standards and for loft extension in particular I'm not really sure what I'm worried about, maybe fire risk, damage to my property etc
I've got no objection to works being done properly but also they aren't the most considerate of neighbours and never give me the heads up (I know they don't have to but would be polite).
Last time they had works done, I ended up having my weekends disturbed for weeks on end with loud drilling which vibrated the house and banging all day both days from 7am and late into the evenings.
They don't speak to any other neighbours and just ignore them when they've tried.
