Hi, I live in a Grade ll listed property with a separate C20 curtilage garage listed by association and one wall of the garage forms part of the boundary with our neighbours.
Our neighbours erected a shed in their garden alongside the garage before we moved in to our house in 2019. A couple of weeks ago we noticed that there was a significant amount of damp evident on the interior brickwork, and the bricks feel damp. Looking at it, the shed appears to have been secured to the garage wall itself, and the shed roof felting is not tight. As the shed roof slopes towards the garage wall, we suspect that water is getting in or pooling where the shed and garage wall meet.
Can anyone advise me whether there are any regulations covering structures that are attached to curtilage buildings? We want to get the damp fixed, but there’s no point if the issue is actually caused by the neighbours‘ shed!
