Re: Re: Buliding nightmare

dubber: They don’t need your permission, just planning permission. It would be easier for them to get planning permission if they had a letter from you consenting to the demolition, but this wouldn’t be a prerequisite. Your exposed party wall becomes a technical problem and technical problems have technical solutions.

In most of the cases that I’ve seen, the developer retains a part of the their Semi-D and just truncates it, or incorporates it into a new corner build to accommodate the new entrance drive, just to make it easier to get over this particular hurdle. Full demolition of a Semi-D without offering some replacement would be unusual! I’d be surprised if they went down that road.

As jdivision says, they’d be giving you ‘Detached’ status whether you wanted it of not.
