planning permission objection HELP!

if they build it 3 feet away there will be no way we can put a ladder up the side of our house or put any scaffolding to maintain the roof as our wall is the side of our house and high and their proposed garage [next to our house] is nearly as high with a pitched roof.

My point is that if you can't after it's built, then you wouldn't have before without consent of your neighbour before the building went up as you would have needed to be on someone elses land...... (if you see what I mean)

THere are solutions that would allow you to maintain that. Also the same is true in reverse - if he needs to be on or over your land to build the garage you may have a point to stop him building.

3 feet away from your house seems helluva close, not sure health and safety would allow that, how are they going to erect a scaffolding on your side to build the upper half. Safe scaffolding will encroach onto your property if the house is that close. You can tell em to get suffed when they try.

Good luck with the objections.

Just saw your point :)
 
mmmmmm i see now........

presently i have permission in my deeds to go on his land to maintain and repair.

if house was built i would not be able to.

thanks to everyone that has taken an interest and i will keep you up to date.
 
There is a point then that he may not be able to restrict your access for maintenance purposes, you need to take that to a solicitor.

Did the previous owner sell you the land? Your deeds may say the same.

we have no land just a path around the house.
 
We had a new block of terrace cottages built in a farmyard behind our cottage. They even had the nerve to 'tie' their last cottage to an established detached house on the end of their new build.
Hacked into the detached to obtain a key to bond to while the owners were away.
Went as far as the ombudsman but to no avail. Apparantly it was on the plans and allowable - How? God knows, but the detached owners had to pay their own costs for defending the bleedin obvious.

Check all the plans and proposals with a fine tooth comb and don't think the worst can't happen, it can, and the better prepared you are with valid objections and planning rules the more chance you have of getting something next door you can tolerate. Good luck! :)
 
I think the law is different in Scotland :)
 
So presumably your property is built right on the boundary?

If they've got a whole field to build on why do they have to site it so close?

Does the owner know someone on the Parish/District Council? If they do you probably haven't got a hope in hell (sorry).

Make sure you (and the other objectors) attend the Parish Council meeting where it's being discussed if not already too late. I don't think you can speak but at least you can show you're serious.

They build close to other houses if the development limit encloses things.

You have no right to speak at parish council meetings, but most allow you to speak. We certainly allow people to address the meeting for 5 min on any subject and invite comments when doing planing stuff. Check the standing orders (ask the clerk for a copy) to see what the rules are for your council, ask the clerk what the real world usual behaviour is (again ours do not currently say that the public can speak, but we encourage them to have their say anyway - even if we have to encourage som eof them to stop again :) )
 
UPDATE....

It appears the the land around my house is of interest to the medieval society and no building of any kind can commence until archaeologists have been and checked it out.

Oh the joy!!! chuckle chuckle
 
Very good :)

Keep them out - the longer it takes to check - the longer nothing will be built ;)
 
Aha! - Time to purchase some broken pottery and suitably old trinkets - Slip a few underground from an angle and watch the guys with the small trowels and paint brushes mince around in the mud for a few months. :)
 
Tony Robinson and Phil the Dig will be there asking for Tea and biscuits :lol:
 
More likely a bloke from the local museum and a horde of archaeology students.
 
I think I'd prefer a new house being built 18 inches away from mine than Tony Robinson and Phil the hat droning away for weeks on end :D
