I have a query in relation to an estate house we bough off plans. Looking on the County Council planning site there is a specified distance to the boundary wall in the estate planning application, however it looks like our builder has mistakenly laid foundations and build b-work closer to the boundary wall by more than a meter. We are at first floor level we we noticed this error and the builder is insisting there is no mistake. The site is under half an acre and narrow so you'll appreciate that moving the house out by that distance is not ideal as we are right up against a boundary wall.
What recourse do we have here?
Is it too late to ask him to knock and move walls by the specified distance?
Is there any action the council could take against us for the builders mistake?
