I would like to build an extension to the rear of my house. I don't
think the next door neighbour would agree to me building on the
boundry line, in fact I want to avoid the issue with him altogether.
How far from the boundry line can I build without having to seek his
permission. I have read that this is 300mm but can't find any
information from the odpm.gov. website to confirm this.

LOL!!! An extension to any property needs permission from everyone that can
overlook it. Everyone around your property within seeing distance needs to

LOL!!! Where did you get that one? The only permission you need is from
the council planning department. Others can object and may influence
the granting of permission but you certainly do not need a neighbours
permission to build an extension. Overlooking has nothing to do with it
either. even if they can't see the extension from their property they
can still object.
