Hi the planning number is DC/07/67699/FT. I really appreciate all you advice. I have to call Lewisham Planning in 3 weeks to check if the new app has been submitted. It amazes me that people can get away with things like this. My father who is in the building trade was shocked by the quality of workmanship on this building and thought that it did not comply with building regs. However Lewisham do not seem to care! I live in a residential road but yet this garage has been able to take the gardens of 2 houses (yes they own the houses) but surely the neighbours have some kind of say?

thx again

Megan
