I was about to make that very point.Â* I accept that I'm in breach of the

manner requested by the planners.Â* Assuming that I can successfully do
that, there will be no reason for the council to take any action against
me.

They would be in their rights to do so of course if I didn't carry out
the remedial work, but unless there's a problem with the neighbours over
getting it done I don't anticipate that happening.

FWLIW I agree

I can't immediately think of any reason strong enough for the neighbours
to want to take the matter to court.Â* But anything's possible I suppose.


Again, FWLIW I agree - assuming you get the work done. If not, the main
question for them is "what might this mean for selling our house?" I
don't know the answer. But in their shoes I'd be inclined to err on the
side of caution and at least drop a few hundred on a surveyor's report.
