boundary

Hi there. We've got a small retaining wall on the boundary of our garden as the neighbours garden is higher than ours. It's perfectly functional but it's not very straight so I'd like to replace it as part of some landscaping we're doing. The problem I have is that it intersects with the...

Can anybody recommend a fast-growing hedge I can put up along one side of the garden? There is already a 6ft fence there but I'd like another foot of privacy above that. Neighbours are good people but like privacy and would enjoy a more attractive border. Best contender so far is cherry laurel...

Hi all, Long time lurker on these forums here hoping for some advice. We've just bought a detached house which has one side of the house facing the street. What we want to do is build a double storey extension on this side (there is 4m there) and also to the front to increase the size of the...

I'm planning a two storey side extension and I'm wondering about the "1m from boundary" guideline which seems to be mentioned, when discussing planning permission. I appreciate no neighbour wants an extension butting up against their property. In my case though, I'm on a corner plot where...

Good Afternoon All, I’m looking for a little advice regarding something which is potentially a bit of a grey area within planning. I currently have a lean-to style shed (3 timber sides) the back of which is the side wall of my house. The back of the shed where it meets the house is about 8ft...

I've got a prime case of Gas Safe pointing to Building Regs and Building Regs pointing to Gas Safe. And a gas fitter (and me) stuck in the middle. I have a domestic combi boiler, fitted donkey's years ago. The flue went out through our wall that is alongside the neighbour's garden. It vents...

We are thinking of getting a new garage built as shed won't be any good for storing electric tools etc since it stays humid leading to rust. We have a shed on its last legs on the side of the property at the end of driveway. Instead of building a garage there. Thinking of getting rid of it. -...

I have a semi detached house and my neighbour has a single story rear extension which comes right up to its boundary (next to our fence line). This isn't the issue. We also have a single storey extension but it is about a meter and a half away from my neighbour even though it was built before...

Evening all, had a look around but could not find anything that seems similar to my problem - but apologies if this is duplicating another thread. I'm looking for any advice you might have regarding me disturbing my neighbour’s questionable flat felt roof when I come to re-roof my garage. The...
