Dear gentle reader-sorry-a soft start after the rough thread title.

I get on well with my neighbours and generally keep myself to myself. The neighbour to my right has made a planning application to change to the front of her home and extend. The notification came through months ago and it was a normal window a few feet away from my French doors (no worries I thought thus no objections.)

I live on a cul de sac and their house is at the end so I don’t drive past and I noticed last night when I was doing some house maintenance that what they’re doing so does not match with the plans submitted .
It appears that they are creating a Granny annexe and have put a WC right next to my French doors - like 2 feet away.

I would never have agreed to this at planning stage.

Have I missed something? If plans change can they be submitted without notifying neighbours. I am all for change and improvement but this I’m not happy with.

I have popped a note through the letterbox asking for a face to face last night with my number but as yet nothing.

Have they got a party wall agreement in place? They need one if it's within 3m of the boundary.

This?

😁
Grateful thread title OP!

I don't see the difference between this and an ensuite really.

People on MN are so weird about toilets

Was I though? 😂

I understand your pain OP I lived in a rental once where my kitchen side window was about 2metre away from their en suite window. When both windows open I could hear him farting and grunting on the toilet and even worse hocking and spitting in the shower yuck.

A long drop version?

Grunting ??? Really ..? Argh 😖 🤣 🤣 🤣 that would have put me right off my food

It was so weird saying hi when passing in the front yard- I never even knew his name, but knew him intimately enough know if he needed to eat more fibre…..

Sounds like an ensuite to me, they are totally grim too, noise and smell,urgh.😬

I think that usage has overtaken derivation on this one. As usage always does.

You're flogging un cheval mort.

I don't understand how you know? They build a brick box. You can't see inside what they've built. How do you know it's a toilet?

Ensuites are grim?! I have never heard anyone say this before 😂I thought they were rather sought after!

Haha have you not been on mumsnet long? People love to wax lyrical about hearing their partners shitting in the ensuite and being one door away from smells and noises etc etc (as if the average British house's family toilet is substantially further away)

I have clearly not been on the right threads! I imagine they are apoplectic about bathrooms with only a dividing screen in some hotel rooms!

In terms of planning, they can change internal rooms around without making an amendment (unless it's listed). But if you think that they have built the extension differently from the plans in terms of things like height of build, roof type etc, then you would report the breach to the planning enforcement department, there is probably a form on your council website for this.

I thought someone was turning up squatting outside your French doors curling one out. Unless it's an outdoor toilet, I think you'll be OK.

Willl it look something like this pic (From a house on the market near me).

😱🤣😱

I don't quite get your issue OP.
Is the problem that there is a large brick extension next to your patio blocking the light and overlooking you - or the fact that this extension has a toilet in it? I imagine that if they open the window there may be a bit of a whiff.

Doesn’t it come under change of use? (No idea). I would be mortified to use that toilet though, every parp, every splash…. Imagine having a tummy bug. 😕

Yes. And put the lid down!

My thoughts exactly!

What difference does it make what someone is doing behind a brick building

Can't stop laughing at the title, before I read the post, I thought someone has dropped their pants and pooped in front of the French doors for all to see

I actualy thought, you had a phantom pooer in your neighbourhood pooing outside your patio doors.
I actually had this happen to me for several years, and it wasn't fox poo,.Someone enjoyed getting in over the fence and pooing in my garden.( Before CCTV).
so thete's always someone worse off.Never did find out who it was, it eventually stoppef.
