Thanks guys, not a conservation area or national park. Re neighbour, fully intended to stay within the height restriction under PD for an outbuilding on a boundary, I’m just a little concerned about the ‘right to light’ rules as there is a window facing that boundary. I think its a unhabited room so there shouldn’t be a case, and the fact no issue has been raised about the existing hedge which will be replaced
Re – driveway, I have read online planning is unlikely to be granted close to a junction, however as a corner plot, I’ve seen several in the local vicinity with the same configuration, and most of my immediate neighbours have a drive within 15m of the junction.
Would having the drive done constitute enough evidence of starting the work, even if the old garage is still standing and extension not started?
