RE: Waaayyyyy OT: Planning permission

Mark,

I know it would have to be raised on the basis of a planning issue.  I would
only go to the trouble if I know my non planning concern (ie house price) is
a valid one, so I'm trying to establish if a) my concern is valid and b)
what planning grounds I could use to object if a) is correct.

That sux man :(

Wanna buy it then? :-)
I know _technically_ it is still a semi, it's just a question of whether a
buyer would view it as such or not....
Any estate agents out there care to comment?

But if I was insisting my neighbour fit frosty windows then shouldn't I be
willing to do the same myself?
