Is the extension to the rear? What floor area is each? Heights?Hi,
We are currently discussing with our neighbour the possibility of both of us getting similar extensions. Both are standard 3 bed semis and we are both filling in the gap on an L Shaped Kitchen/Dining area. Both are within the required area. We are both going to use the same builder.
Some questions we have
Do we need planning permission?
You would be best advised to get an Architect, Architectural Technician or Engineer involved.Do we need to get an architect involved?
Yes, and a contract between yourselves and the Arch/AT/Eng, and a contract between yourselves and the builder.Do we need to get a contract drawn up between us?
You will need the neighbours permission.If either choose not to go ahead, can the other build on the boundary without planning permission?

Has anyone else done similar and any pitfalls we need to avoid?
Thanks
I just completed this with my neighbour. No contracts, didnt get an engineer, didnt need planning, checked on rules on local authority website and was outside criteria (mainly in relation to area of garden remaining. Was a great success. If you get a decent builder who knows what he is at you wont need engineer
.......Was a great success. If you get a decent builder who knows what he is at you wont need engineer
if only 1 goes ahead is their a "right to light" for the other person? Everything else is within exemption guidleines.
