Our neighbours have recently applied for retrospective planning permission for their house. They added a large self contained granny flat to the house without planning permission.
We tolerated this while they lived there and said nothing but now they have the house up for sale and have applied for the retrospective planning permission for this large extension to their house. No one realised the extent of the extension until the house went up for sale and we saw the house description. They have increased the house size by about 50% and we're worried about what might happen if someone were to buy this house and rent it in several small units as this is a quiet area with older neighbours.
Does anyone know what can actually be achieved by actually objecting to this application now several years after the extension was completed?
Thanks
