How do I find out if my neighbours intend to develop their property? |

Whilst lists of planning certificate and construction / demolition authorisation are public, there are fewer publicity requirements than in some other countries. The list of planning certificates and construction or demolition authorisations issued for the previous month (in chronological order as of the date of issue) is normally posted at the local authority’s offices. This list will contain the address of the property, the name of the applicant and the purpose for which the document has been issued. There is no requirement to let neighbours know that an application has been made. However, where there is a party wall shared with a neighbour, the neighbour will need your consent to obtain a construction or demolition authorisation which will affect the wall. Further development on neighbouring property should respect the right to light of your property.
