Do my neighbours have the right to object to what is proposed in my building regulations application?
No. But whilst there is no requirement in the Building Regulations to consult neighbours, it would be prudent to do so. In any event, you should be careful that the work does not encroach on their property since this could lead to bad feeling and possibly an action for an injunction for the removal of the work. Objections may be raised under other legislation, particularly if your proposal is subject to approval under the Town and Country Planning legislation or the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Building Regulations are a completely separate matter from planning permission. Planning applications must be made to the relevant department. Building Regulations are a completely separate matter from the Party Wall etc Act 1996.
