Neighbour's extension destroys £100k of home's value

Helen Coughlan, a 52-year-old carer from Woodford Bridge in north east London, says her neighbour's extension has taken £100,000 off the value of her home. The extension was built far wider than the changes that the council had approved, and one wall is just inches from Coughlan's windows. However, the council will not demand that it be taken down.

So why doesn't she have any protection?%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
