i,m thinking of building an extension ,size 25ft high x 14ft wide,
At the back of my house ,
between the boundary wall of one side , and the other side wall on the right hand side.
Side wall is 25 ft high.
On the left there is a boundary wall 25ft high ,the side of my neighbours house.
Its flat, theres no windows , theres one pipe ,a plastic rain water drain pipe,
And theres a standard plastic gutter on the top.
I,ll be applying for planning permission.
I,m curious can i just use my neighbours side wall as part of the extension.
Or will i just leave a 1ft gap on my neighbours side ,
between the extension and his wall.
I will give my neighbour, drawings, plans before i apply for the extension.
As a matter of courtesy .
My neighbour works for the local authority ,
so he,s well aware of planning matters.

Subject to civil agreement between you and your neighbor, yes. Also subject to structural advice on the ground, that your finished can be structurally connected to this wall in the appropriate manner.
 
Your neighbour lives in a detached house, at least detached on your side, you want to build onto his wall, he will no longer be detached impacting his homes value.

Build your own wall, it will add value to your property if completed properly.
 
I live in a row of terraced houses , in my back garden on one the left hand side, theres my wall, owned by me.
other side ,is the rear of my neigbour,s house, ie its the side wall at the rear of his house.
10ft wide x 25 ft high ,
this forms part of the boundary on the right hand side of my house.
The first 22 ft of his house is part of the terrace, eg we share that wall .
His wall is flat and blank, theres no windows on it .
On the part facing my back yard .
eg his house is only detached on the last 10ft which forms part of the boundary betwwen the 2 houses .
I,ll consult him and give him the plans before i build anything .
Of course i could just leave a gap of 7 inches and build a wall close to his
wall .
i don,t believe my extension would effect the value of his house ,
as it ,ll be built to a high standard .
it,ll not be visible from his house unless he goes and stands at the very end of his garden .
Theres a stone wall 10 ft high between the 2 house,s at the end of his wall .
i have made more measurements,
the extension would be 25 ft high x10ft wide.

Are you posting the same questions on boards.ie ?
the text typing and scattered arrangement of the post text is very similar and hard to read.
