If a tree branch from your garden grows over the wall, you neighbour may cut it it off and you can’t do a thing. For the very same reason I doubt your objections to altering the soffit would be listened to at all.
I don’t think you can compare an overhanging branch with a soffit detail on a boundary wall. I think a call to a planner in your local council should clarify your rights in terms of alterations to an existing boundary condition. I think the answer to your scenario would be of interest to all terrrace house owners. Keep us posted!
We can’t judge this building on a very basic computer image – more detailed drawings (plan, sections etc.) are neccessary. Vital information has even crudely been left out these images (surrounding high-rise buildings). It certainly has the potential to be a good scheme……at least, by Irish Architecture standards.
The images dont show the existing Ulster Bank buiding work going on behind. How will it be intergrated with this scheme?? Of course, any other country with any appreciation for urban design etc., would have got these two developments together, to create something quite beautiful to reflect the Custom House, two designs that work together functionally and aesthetically as a composition. Obviously its too late now, as the Ulster Bank (probally the worst infill design I’ve ever seen) is nearly complete. How will Tara street relate to this scheme in terms of scale etc.??? Will there be any public spaces (plaza) created from these two designs?
