Comments from neighbours
You'll need to seek the views of the property owners next to the proposed encroachment site. Normally this is limited to your neighbours on either side of the site – we'll let you know if you need to consult more widely.
You can ask your neighbours to fill in the neighbour comments form, or to email you.
If you haven't received a response from your neighbours within a reasonable time, let us know and we'll try to contact them on your behalf.

Written consent from neighbours
If your proposal uses part of your neighbour’s road frontage, you may require their consent.
We'll advise you if you need to get written consent once we receive your completed application.
