Hello there.

I am considering a new extension to my house and the local planning dept has
confirmed that I don't need planning permission. I have however been
informed that outside of planning law my neighbour may have some right to
light which may prevent building.

What is my position please? Where can I look for the guidance?

Thanks

Chris

I'm not a lawyer but i will offer my advice.

When we were in the same situation (building a extension that is) we had
some plans drawn up and invited the neighbours over to take a look. A cup of
coffee and a few minor changes (the glass that overlooked their back yard
was altered to be glazed) and everyone was happy.

I would suggest you do this, the plans will cost you perhaps £20. Get the
neighbours to have a look, discuss any issues and live a happy, amicable
life.

Hope it helps, and good luck.
