We have good relations with our neighbours and the extension is for
the use of their disabled son (it is a bathroom and bedroom all with

they have waited years for this to happen.

Well, that's very touching, and would mean that anyone objecting
is a heartless git, but I'd still object. That is a gigantic
extension which will have a large impact on your property.

Agreed, he should at least be able to object to the pitched roof on
shading grounds. Our house and all the others with similar extensions
have flat roofs.

Maybe you could insist on a flat roof and the installation of light
pipes through the building to alleviate the shading.

All techinically feasible.
