We were delighted to receive Planning Approval from Runnymede Borough Council for two 2-storey side extensions, in New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey.
This project was for two adjacent detached dwellings having linked garages between them. The neighbours wanted to construct a two storey side extension by demolishing their garages. Each neighbour either side of the boundary agreed to ‘donate’ a 500mm wide strip of land towards a 1m separation gap between the two extended properties. This gap will provide access from the front to the rear of the properties and will be assigned as of ‘joint use’.
The application was submitted as a joint application, with one neighbour being the Lead applicant and the other being the Notified owner.
We thank Runnymede Planning for the informal advice they have given us before we submitted the application.
The neighbours will now have to endure each other’s construction nuisance, as construction of each extension may not happen simultaneously, as one contract.
We will let you know if the neighbours are talking to each other on completion of the projects!
UPDATE: Construction of both side extensions completed satisfactorily. Another perfect solution!
