  • 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.

    Have you requested the drawings? People quite often assume that something should be under permitted development when it isn't. If it isn't, they can save themselves a lot of trouble with planning enforcement if they recognise that now. I'm not saying it isn't, but double-checking is worth your while.
