Sharkstar-
Ah I think that may well be right.
I’m going to ask a solicitor before I do anything drastic.But even if planning permission wasn’t required and I didn’t want to rebuild, it still doesn’t seem right that you could be left with this predicament.
If I wanted to repair the render and brickwork on the wall facing their garage, it would be practically impossible to do because the gap is so small.
So what would happen if really essential repair work was needed?
It seems the previous owners at the time didn’t have the foresight for any issues.

Ha, that half meter is vitally important though and I shouldn't have to loose it.
It seems that you might not need planning permission for a garage if its behind your house. Their garage is built on to the side of the house.
But then if planning permission isn't/wasn't required then there might not be anything stopping me rebuilding it in the same spot.
