Extension neighbour nightmare

Why on earth would you start such a large building project without the projected funding in place?

What happens if, next week your boss has to lay off some staff and you're one of them?

Her complaints seem valid IMO & the way you talk about the fence, as though you paying for it does her a favour when you're the one that removed it, you sound like a nightmare neighbour.
 
It might be different if there was an actual timeline here but living next to a building site with no defined end would be ****, so I understand why she is annoyed regardless of how nice you’re being.
 
Regardless of my opinions it is interesting nonetheless to hear different perspectives and I don't for one second think my opinion is absolute or others are invalid. No one is ultimately right or wrong, it's not binary it's all a scale. This is why this forum is so interesting you get such a broad spectrum of perspectives.
 
Problem solved, and to the person who said I can’t find it well I can I’m self employed bricklayer with around 2 years worth of work in front of me I could give it away if I really wanted to. Been around and had a good chat this morning and I’ve got to phone council Monday morning with what I’m doing with the fence and everything and she’s also going to phone them saying she his now happy with what we have discussed.
 
I have an aversion to streets of similar looking houses equally spaced becoming gap toothed terraces with some built up to the property line and others not. I know it's legal but it usually looks ****. Doing it for more accommodation rather than moving is bad enough, doing it for profit is worse.

As for nice roof lines ruined by dormer extensions...

No it’s a nice street actually, and yes it’s to live in but obviously I’m looking at making a profit in the future that’s daft talk not doing that, and I can make profit with been a bricklayer myself.

Nothing personal, just an opinion that a street of three bed detached or semis, often architect designed, is often not improved by add ons to make multi bath, four or five bed houses with limited access to the rear of the property. That is an example, yours may be much finer.

Well I always say if you want it and you go through planning and get accepted on the design you want who gives a ****

If the neighbour who lives next door after the current occupant, decides to mirror your extension on their side of the fence, I hope that you are as magnanimous for their build to go ahead.
