    There is an extension currently being built next door , and they are facing the bathroom window into my garden


    I am just wondering if this breaches building regulations?



    The window will be a foot away from the boundary between our houses

    Thanks Syd


    No planning permission was requested, they are just extending.


    I have no problems with it.

    I just want to inform my neighbour if there are problems, as she is not builder savvy, and for future reference in case of house sale etc ....

    I had this problem with my old houses back garden.

    It's annoying but their bathroom glass was frosted so was kind of not a big issue in the end.

    I think a window has to be one meter from a boundary otherwise planning is needed

    Thanks Fguinan,

    I remember something when I was building years ago, similar to this




    No issue from me, and the window will not let in much light ... was going to advise neighbour to get a velux as well / instead

    You won’t have any problems selling your property but they may have s it sounds like it needs permission.

    If it is really 300mm from the boundary it most likely will
    Get refused.

    I agree. I have no issue, just want to tell then before the builder leaves, its their decision how to take this forward
