Our neighbour’s ‘monstrous’ extension has knocked thousands off my home… we’ve had nothing but trouble for a YEAR

A COUPLE were left furious after learning their neighbour's "monstrous" extension will knock thousands of pounds off the value of their home.

Rod and Alison Pearson, who live in Notts. say next door's loft conversion has caused nothing but trouble for the last year.

They claim the "unbearable" setup blocks their sunlight, prompting the couple to consider moving.

But they've since been warned next door's extension has lowered the value of their property - and they are terrified of losing out either way.

Rod, 56, raged: “We had an estate agent around - he said the extension has knocked £10,000 off our property.

“You walk out of our conservatory and look up, and it’s just unbearable.

“Our garden used to get the sun in the morning. It was lovely to sit out there with a coffee. That’s all gone."

He added: “We never wanted to move from here. This is our home.

“But if we do want to, it’s us that’s got to pay the price.”

Rod and school worker Alison, 46, bought their three-bed home for £167,000 four years ago and previously had no drama with their neighbours.

But according to plans submitted to the council, next door has since converted their loft to add two offices, a playroom and print room and built a glass-fronted orangery in the garden.

Rod said: “We’ve had enough of it all and they haven’t even stopped yet.

“The dormer on the roof looks like a bungalow that’s been plonked up top.

"As soon as you walk out of the conservatory, it’s hanging over you."

He also claimed: “Work started over a year ago. But we’ve had nothing but trouble.”

The plans were approved by City of Nottingham Council despite objections from the Pearsons.

The Pearsons' neighbours declined to comment when approached by Sun Online.

Nottingham City Council has been approached for comment.
