We are having an extension built and have just had the plans drawn up. The man who did the plans pointed out that our next door neighbours huge extension can no way have had planning permission.
I know for a fact that they are going to lodge a complaint against our extension, so I'd like some ammo up my sleeve.
I've looked on line at the local council but can't find details of planning applications that far back.
Any suggestions?

I've posted about this before - even with all the windows shut, our house reeks of smoke.

Just call up with the address and ask what records the Council have. Remember that permitted development rights were different back then so it is actually possible to have a large extension without planning permission. Is it really 20m though???!!
