Please see the picture..
I would like to extend my current patio door in my 1930's built house.I have 2 problems.Please advice how to resolve these.I am really confused and frustrated.
1.I want to extend this room by 1 meter only, to make a passage to the kitchen which is already extended(The kitchen is to the left of the picture, not seen here).The neighbor does not want my wall to go over boundary line.Is it possible to build a free standing wall with a end pier,attached to half of the party wall with wall starter kit.The wall will be solid rather than cavity.
2.The neighbor's extension is set back from the boundary line by 1 foot with a flat roof.My roof which is pitched at present is covering the whole of party wall(The white wall in picture).It is also providing a shelter to the gap in between of party wall and his extension wall. have been advised that I can build up to the boundary line,which will be half of this white wall.Now the neighbor is being unreasonable,telling me that I can do whatever I want but all on my side of the boundary.I am happy with that but how do I overcome with the gap problem.How do i seal the wall or make the gap water/weather proof.
I do not with to cut corner or encroach on my neighbor's space but what would be the easiest solution.Please give me a head start so I can finish this project.
Thank you for all your help and suggestions.
