Height of extension

LongfordMB · 02-09-2023 04:45PM #1

Hi,

We're looking to build 20 Sq metre single story extension to the rear.

Question we have is can the height of the extension be higher than the boundary wall with our neighbour? The wall of extension would be built right next to boundary wall. We think it will be 1 to 2 feet higher than the boundary wall and almost certainly will reduce some light into their garden. I don't think the regulations are specific about height, provided it's single storey. Are there any consequences here, other than neighbour being a bit annoyed? Anyone know if there's any legal right to light or something like that.

Thanks

Definitely can. My neighbour just built an extension a month ago and the height is higher than the boundary wall and no issue. Extension is near the boundary wall.
