Re: Re: Buliding nightmare

Thanks for advice gunter very helpful and appreciated. Not saying that the obsticles are insurmountable but it does appear to me that the odds are stacked against this development. I would imagine that the work involved and direct disruption to my house would mean it would be a whole lot easier if i was on side. Also, i think with the fact that he needs to knock the entire house to gain access and considering the 3 metre rule he would not really have much leeway in terms of keeping part of semi-d and truncating/corner build. I know the 3 metre rule is subjective but i assume it has its limitations?

Also jdivion is right and i had thought of this. But on further exmination this is debatable, as i live on a busy road the semi-d is protecting my from a certain amount of noise pollution. Also the back setting will look a whole lot different with houses overlooking and a lot of green gone for concrete buildings. I personally don’t think the vlaue of house will be increased. also people may be scared away becasue of ‘perceived’ damage as a result of the dividing wall being removed? Also, as i have no intention of moving (ridulous prices and stamp duty is crazy!!) value is really not a factor?
