How near can some one build a house to my property?
Question:my neighbour wants to build a new house in there garden which will overlook me
Answers:
6 meter's from the property line, basically anyway as long as it does not block out the natural light
They need planning permission. Contest it.
The limit is probably one metre from your boundary - thats for the UK. If you cannot prove - that it will seriously rob you of light, then all other planning objections will be turned down.
It could be worse - he could plant a leylandii hedge!
Check with your local council Planning Department - they will have to approve the plans and you can make any objections to them
Hi
check with your local building inspector.
your neighbor need to submit a plan of the house and location before a permit is issued
they will check if it up to code
depending on some location 10 ft is required between 2 house
depends on you local ordinances. In my locality 6 feet from the side property line.
We do have a daylight plane ordinance, however, so at 6 feet, it can't be more than 1 story, even though at peak the house can be 28 feet high.
He can build right up to the boundary line. You need to object at the planning stage if you think the windows will be needlessly overlooking yours. Also if the building cuts out a significant amount of the light you've enjoyed for something like 20 years.
