Hello,
we are considering building an extension, which would fall under the requirements of the one where permission is not needed:
- it will be 40m2 overall (20m2 at basement level, 10m2 at ground level and 10m2 at 1st level).
- The ground and 1st level's extension will be 2 meters away from both boundaries (neighbor to the left and neighbor to the right)
- the height of the extension will not exceed the current height of the house
- we will still have 25m2 of the garden left after the extension is in place
- windows facing the back of our property, so not facing the neighbors.
- neighbors on one side already have an extension in place for the same length, but not the same height (only basement and ground level).
Questions:
- shall we still make a public announcement of the extension plans?
- can a neighbor still object the extension, can this objection be successful (meaning we'll have to change something)?
- the neighbors have built their extension (which is older than 15 years) over the boundary, grabbing about half meter. I understand after having read the threads here that there is a very little chance to claim this land back, however, what are the implications here for the 2m distance rule?
many thanks in advance!
