So sorry I put the wrong plans on

Apologies I put old plan up

The one at the bottom of the picture with 3 top windows & 1 study window on ground floor plot 4 has 2 bedroom windows & a front door facing towards our fence

Hi I have attached pictures of the proposed new development to land adjacent to our property They are wanting to place 4 bungalows on the site & each one only has 1m between them so windows will face the other bungalows wall feet away is this likely to get approved? the developers have told me that pre approval for 4 dwellings was agree in principle by the LA It just seems too small a plot for 4. The dwellings will also look into our side bedroom windows. I know that 21m is preferred between facing habitable rooms but does it matter that my daughters bedroom window is slightly higher to fit her headboard under? Does it matter that my dons back bedroom window is his primary window & the 2 small side ones as additional? Surely, privacy is still an issue even though not his main window? Will that be considered? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated Thank you

Hi I have just reposted with questions and pictures etc as I could not seem to update this post Thank you x

Hi, Sorry I am a newbie & not sure where to actually post my questions. My name is Lorraine & we had an extension around 3 years ago. Our architect at the time suggested adding side elevation windows to a couple of our bedrooms & we also placed one in the side elevation new study. Building regs have been signed off & completion certificate issued etc etc on our extension so all fine regarding the windows being placed to the side. However, the land adjacent to our house has just been sold for development & the builder would like to build 4 bungalows on the site. A number of those windows will face our side elevation windows and also loom over us to the whole of that side (our lounge window is on that side of the house to the rear & will lose skylight & outlook). I have attached pictures to show the proposed development layout & also pictures of our side elevation window positions. I am just hoping for a little guidance as I need to submit my objections to the planning case worker & would like to sound as though I have at least a little knowledge regarding what the acceptable distances should be & rules regarding the privacy issues & overbearing feel this will have on us. I have read that the distance is 21m between habitable room windows but does it matter if the windows are not primary ones & just extras as in my sons bedroom (his main window is to the rear)? But privacy wise people will still be able to see into his room! Does that get dis regarded? My daughters room has her sole window to the side aspect but it was placed slightly higher so her headboard would fit underneath it. Does the height make any difference? Her old dressing room now has a door width access point & is my granddaughter’s room. I have put red lines to highlight on the plans. The rear bedroom windows will also be able to see into the bungalow bedroom windows & vice versa. Is the any guidance regarding distances for windows that are not face to face, if that makes sense? Also, with regards to the 45 degree test will our 8 ft fence down that boundary impact on that being enforced? What other factors may impact this being enforced? So sorry for all of the questions but this is stressing me out. Many thanks for reading this far & any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time x

Hi, Wish I had known about this group when we had our last extension. Now hoping to find guidance regarding distancing from our side aspect bedroom / study windows to a proposed new development x
