A hypothetical question for opinions. Let’s assume that a double storey Semi-D has a 10 ft. clearance from the back of the house to the common back boundary wall of his neighbour. The neighbour decides to extend the back of his house (including the first floor), right to the back boundary wall. The first Owner has the same intention to extend the back elevation of his house in a similar design as well. Normally, the back elevation will have windows for the back rooms and bathroom ventilation openings. Are such extensions allowed by law and the SPA? I would hate to have my back door neighbour carrying out such an extension, particularly for the first floor. This will end up with both windows, practically looking into each other with loss of privacy.
Wont both end up worse off? Whats worse is that they bought semi dee but zhng the house until end up as a big cluster house. If this were to happen in rl i pity both owners.
