Looking at the photos you have no worries .
Just a good days work to remove the felt extending onto their garage roof and make good the parapet to your flat roof .0 -
... all because the planning departments never check anything else other than their own requirements - they don't care if it's your land or your property to build on, or whether there are any other mandatory legal requirements (like Listed Buildings Consent), etc. In other words, they only check off their tick-box list and that's it. Getting planning permission in reality doesn't mean anything - the building may be prohibited or prevented from going ahead by a million other things. You have to get it, but it doesn't give you right to go ahead, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, there is no body that would actually be able to say - you've got it all sorted and checked, you may proceed with the build. This is why a lot of projects run into issues half-way into it...2013yearofthehouse wrote: »When my friend went to the planning department for advice, they said that as silly as it sounds (they themselves think it's silly) anyone can apply for planning for anything including (the planning officer's example) an extension entirely on your neighbour's land!

Really not meaning to be confrontational at all - really want the opposite!
Just nervous of any impact, and like to be forearmed with all the information if it is required at all. Will be approaching it in a completely amicable manner - as would like a good friendship with these guys!!
It's much easier to make sure the work is done the right way the first time rather than try to get a bad job put right afterwards so make sure there is a party wall agreement in place and that everything promised is done.
Before, during and after photos are worth taking, just in case.0
