... Is there a law ... concerning distance from the property boundary ?

 

If you could tell us what a boundary is, that would be great. And '...distance... ' from what to what?

Not a facetious answer: many struggle to explain the concept.

 

So much money is in play in any build - even small ones - that both angels and people dance on the head of a pin.  Post the plans here and help us give you a more considered answer than the generalisations I give here.

A simple link to the Planning Department website would help too.

The development as a whole may start from your rear boundary but that would include all the open space around the proposed buildings. You may find that there is indeed a gap between you and the nearest building. It's rare for the planners to allow new buildings on such a large site to sit against the development boundaries simply because there is space available to reduce the impact on existing properties. You may for instance find it's the school planning field that abuts your fence rather than the back wall of a supermarket.

 

If there is a planning application in for the development then you can see it on the council's website and consider what is proposed in detail. You will have a chance to comment and make your views known. Take up that option and argue your case if needed.
