She complained the new build gave her no privacy
A Scots mum has hit out after a house was built so close to hers that she can open her bathroom window and chap her neighbour's door.
After building work started in May, Niki said she measured the space between the two properties and said there is just two metres between her roof and the new property, with a wall directly blocking light to two of her windows."When I complained about it the builder suggested I put up a high wall to hide the property. My kids would feel like they were living in a prison with a 10ft wall surrounding them.
Niki, who also works from home, has now put a sign up on her house which reads; 'How will you get in your back door when our windows are open? Whilst passing please preserve our privacy by not looking in our toilet window'. "I have no objections to homes being built on the land, but what is the need for it to be so close to our house? It's just sheer greed and disrespect.
He added: "We are so close to each other that if a fire starts in one house it will spread to the next almost instantly. Our eaves are only 2m apart. He added: "Any boundary disputes are private legal issues for the parties to resolve. Land ownership is not related to the granting of planning permission.
