My tenants called me a few days ago and tried explaining to me how our new neighbour had extended the boundary wall without decency to ask or even say something. She told me it was different colour brick and I should stop on the weekend and check it out.
Well, yesterday I did and came across the attached. Is this even legal? Would a council approve? It's about 10ft on my side (where the wall is built) and about 6-7ft on his side, as his property is raised. As you can see, he's used different colour bricks and it's done sloppily on my side (cement oozing between bricks etc)
Could I ask him - at the least - to plaster and paint he wall?
The boundary wall was a single wall and I'm aware you need a double to go so high. However, surely this double must be built from scratch? What he's done is build a seperate, independant single wall next to the existing single wall - which aren't interlinked at all. Is that defined as double?
What is the correct thing to do in this situation?
