Hi.
Our neighbour recently sold up and split the rear garden to sell as a seperate plot for a small bungalow to be built.
This bungalow has now been built but the builders have used the spoil from the foundations and raised the rear garden about 2 foot above the previous ground level.
This now means any future buyer over 4 foot tall can walk around this garden overlooking my garden over the 6 ft fence
The plans issued for comment at application stage show the garden level to be below the existing level and even mention this was done to ensure our house was not overlooked.
Do I have a case to raise for breach of planning?
I am also concerned as my fence will now rot at an accelerated rate as the earth is now above the bottom of the fence by some 8-10 inches.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
