Whether or not the Party Walls etc Act 1996 applies depends on a lot of different factors, such as where the flank wall for the rear extension will be, and how deep the foundations of your house are, and how deep the foundations of the extension will be. Might be worth contacting them, asking them for details of the work, and whether they've considered whether the 1996 Act might apply.

A skip has turned up next door. Neighbours have vacated and builders are on site. Apparently they're extending back (single storey) and doing a loft conversion. This is the first I'm hearing of it – no planning/notification/party wall agreement/etc.
No planning is ok I think as it should come under permitted development. The lack of notification and party wall bit troubles me as I thought we were on good terms with the owners.
What are my rights? What should I keep an eye on? I'm happy for the development to go ahead, as long as they don't fuck anything we own/share up.
