My new neighbours had rendered/painted part of their rear wall.
In conversation over the garden wall, I asked why?
They planned to build a bathroom extension above their kitchen.
The implications and effect on my home gradually became clearer... |

On eventually meeting me to discuss my concerns,
I heard they had hoped to start within 2 weeks,

Chris and Tara said they hoped to find a compromise.
They did not consult me further. |

Instead they have opted for a far larger structure than I had imagined.
While the Proposals note my bathroom, they fail to mention the kitchen.

The proposal states '... to lessen the impact on neighbouring properties'.
The plans submitted seem to maximise the impact on my home. |
I find it hard to believe that it is proposed to build a wall so close to the windows of my kitchen extension, despite mentioning my concerns to my neighbours. |

The Town Council RESOLVED by Majority to Recommend for Refusal on the grounds that the scale of extension indicated would reduce light to the adjoining property... |
