Yes ProDave, they are our concerns. We wouldn't necessarily object, just want our position protected and expected a party wall surveyor to be appointed, alas not to date....

Thanks guys, yes, it's in England. We believed pp would be needed, but they seem to be cracking on regardless. The hedge has already gone! In response to your fourth point Ferdinand, which is a good one, we tried that, albeit a few years back, and got knocked back! We have spoken to them and they've let us know about it, to be fair, but we want the right process followed so appreciate all the responses!

Hi, I hope someone can help please. Our neighbours are looking to build a double storey side extension right up to the boundary with our back garden. They've not applied for planning permission or building regs, nor have we come to any party wall agreement. My question, though, is do they actually need any of these, or can they do what they want under permitted development. I've spent days googling it and still no definite answer. I've attached the Google image of their house to show the layout. Any help really greatly appreciated. Thanks Oliver
