I don't have any references I can quote to you, but I recall reading somewhere (probably here, but can't remember) that there needs to be a space between your biulding and the perimeter, I think 1 metre upto 8 floors, and 1.5m above that.

If you're this close you'll certainly need guttering on the roof, the neighbours will certainly be round to complain if you pour water off your roof onto their property.

I'm open to contradictions and clarifications on this.

My wife has similar properties, and this is certainly the case with them.

The local authority will certainly have something to say about how close you can be to the road edge, they will be concerned about future pavements and road widening.

Sorry, I can't be any more specific than that, can anyone else offer guidance on this ??

yes its so old, and yet people still need that feeling of authority on the matter.....????

Thanks Sandmike, it sounds like a reasonable gap, at the moment we have no neighbors with buildings, and the public road ends to a private road so no problems there, most helpful!

I think the gap is larger than that! maybe 1m for a single storey house but more for higher buildings

So, 1 meter to your perimeter all round for 1 storey, and probably bigger for more then 1 storey?

isnt your place 3 storey's or higher (an is there a difference between your city pad and country dwelling)?

by this do you know what your house is as you had said you were getting into trouble with neighbours?

cheers
