Hi,
We want to put 2 windows in the side of our house and, because we are <1m from the boundary of the property, we are only allowed a total area of 1.0m2 if we want them to open.
I'd like to put the windows in at 0.9m x 0.6m, but that gives an area per window of 0.54m2 per window, which is just over, but I'd consider it a rounding error.
Am I likely to get away with this in practice?
The developers (it's a new build and we need their permission) are insisting that we need to put them in at exactly 0.5m2 each, or they won't allow it.
Doesn't seem to matter that the windows they themselves have put in when building the house next door are at least 1.13m2, plus further issues with vent bricks pushing the area up even further.
They seem to have got away with this on the plans by drawing the boundary between our properties down the middle of our driveway, when it should be their wall! The cynic in me thinks that's not a mistake - it is also something else I need to get sorted out.
Qualified advice preferred, please
