I have a query which some of you may be able to help me with…..
My husband and I own a small 2 bed-room terraced house in a development and would like to add a small single story extension (circa 15 square metres) to the rear of the house. Although we have not discussed this with our neighbours yet, we are worried that the extension may shadow their gardens and block some sunlight at certain times of the day. From the research I have done and as far as I know we do not need planning permission as the property is freehold and the proposed extension is < 40 square metres. However we are not sure whether the neighbours would still have grounds to complain and perhaps stop us building this extension. I would appreciate any advice/ opinions which you may have.
