Do my neighbours have the right to object to what is proposed in my building regulation application?
Under the building regulations, your neighbours have no rights to object to a building regulation application. Also, you aren’t required to consult your neighbours regarding the proposed work, although it would be courteous to do so. You should however, be careful that the work will not affect your neighbour’s property. This could lead to conflict and possibly an action for an injunction for the removal of the work. If you are planning to do work that affects, or is adjacent to a wall or fence that separates 2 or more properties, you should check if the Party Wall, etc. Act 1996 applies. If it does, you must notify your neighbours before you start the work. Building regulations are a completely separate matter from the Party Wall, etc. Act 1996. If you would like further information, please contact building control services via the ‘Contact’ link below.
