Extensions to the rear or sideRear and side extensions
Building out at the back or side of a house generally means a new wall goes up against the dividing line, or the existing shared wall is cut into for the new structure. Because next door's property is directly affected, the work falls within the Act. Digging new footings alongside their foundations is caught by it as well.
