yesWe did not make any submission at time of planning - have we missed our chance to object?
? what would have them do, change the design? at whos expense???Try talking to your neighbour and tell them your fears and that you did not realise how it might affect you.
Reasonable people might be able to make some adjustments to accommodate your concerns. There are still a lot of considerate neighbourly people around.

Unfortunately unlike the UK neighbours do not have to be consulted. The system here is still a virtual free for all with little regulation or sensible followup by authorities. When people plan to build they usually become obsessed with self interested and mostly disregard the impact on neighbours. The system allows this and unfortunately you are the victim of such a system and you did not object using when you could have. Very hard lesson to learn but there is nothing you can do now unless the build deviates from the plans. Even then they could apply for retention so you would not be guaranteed of any success.
The system works, the OP didn't work the system is the problem.
No, dereko1969, the system does not work. Our neighbours proposed to convert a plastic sided and topped lean-to into brick built. Fine, we said. There never were any plans or planning application.
When the building started it was clear a much larger extension was going up, with substantial loss of light to our kitchen and sitting room. We instantly made our objection to the council. That was 9 months ago. No inspector has been sent out. The building was finished despite our frantic 4 visits to the council offices, showing photographs etc.
We eventually realised we could object all we liked but it was not going to make any difference. Our neighbours had "contacts" within the council. That's the way Ireland works.
The bottom line is, as Woodie says, it is a free-for-all, and neighbours have no recourse but to go to law. That's prohibitively expensive and so much a roll of the dice that it is a waste of time.
