We are about to purchase a new home (A) (southeast london) and had intended to buy the first one, chalet style house, and in advance of purchase reached out to the neighbour to discuss our extension plans, however their feedback was that they would oppose both options and we are wondering from a planning standpoint if they would be able to do that. Option one we believe they do, which would’ve been to do a double side extension with a single kitchen extension at the back across the full length of the property. We can see that a double side extension would have restricted their right to light and so proposed a single side extension, a dormer on the chalet roof and the kitchen extension at the back. However, they stated that they would still oppose this as it would affect their light on the driveway to the left of our proposed property. Do you feel that they would be justified in their proposal of that? If that is the case then we are thinking instead to purchase the second property (b) and maintain the original plan of a double side extension and kitchen extension to the back across the full length, where we don’t think there would be any right light restrictions and was wondering based on these images, would we be right in that assumption. Thank you for may help or guidance that you may be able to provide with this.
