A mum says her neighbour's house has been so close to hers she can open her bathroom door and knock on their door. Niki Caira says she can't understand why the council agreed to allow the building of two £350,000 new homes so near to her house.
Niki and husband Mario first objected to the planning application in 2020, but they were given the go ahead in June last year. When 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, reports The Record.
Niki said: "It's an eyesore and all we can see when we look out of our 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."
