Actually u need get approval from MPSJ by submitting your renovation plan and relevant document. Once you get the approval from MPSJ, u can start your construction already. Have you done that already? If not you need to get an architect or civil & structural engineer to get the approval for you.
About your neighbor, i think he will agree once you have all this thing ready.

I dont think you need to get your neighbours' approval...once you have your local council's permit..u can proceed....

Dun quite get it... Does that mean ur house is a semi-d?

I think in order to get MPSJ approval, u will have to need approval letter from the neighbour...

Yeah, in the permit application you need your neighbours approval but u know what? My contractor signed that haha....

Hahahaha.. There is always some way to get around anyway. LoL

If my neighbour to violate my area....i will make complaints and report police....

Obviously no one going to violate your area during renovation, as long as they keep it clean and tidy during the process, i dont see there's a problem not to let them renovate their property...

if its within in ones own area...he /she do not need to ask other permission/agreement to renovate lo...or even signature from the neighbour..(unless his/her neighbour is superstar la....need authograph.. )

That is the point. Do I need to ask for your permission to sh*t in my toilet just because you might smell my dunk from your house? No right? I have not heard that you need neighbour's concensus for the renovation for your own house.

Certain local council have this kind of neighbour approval rule.

Yes you need neighbour's approval for renovation, as required by MPSJ.
Have to ask ask and ask sweetly again ler.

If you do not extend the exterior, you dont need to get approval from neighbor nor local council. But since you wanted to extend the backyard, of course it will causing some problem to the neighbor unless u dont plan to hack wall to connect the steel bar and exactly. But still the local council rules, you have to get approval from the neighbor (both if your house is intermediate).

I think most ppl would just inform instead of ask. if neighbours indicate 'ok' then u tell them you will get their signature..If they give you any indication of a 'no' just inform them that you will be doing what and what..dont even have to tell them that you need their approval..

Anyway, may i know why they give you a blunt NO. Is there are reason? fengshui thing or air space or that you will be blocking their view or sunlight where they dry clothes and such maybe you can give them a different solution..cannot be so teruk la

TS must have neighbour problem before that. So neighbour now said, payback time. He....

im saying violating other neighbour area....if you are renovating the area which is under your own...ppl wont giv a damn about it even u wan to build a 10 storey high public toilet to ease u to poopoo......

Example-
a lot of probelem occurs especially the fences between terrace houses, the fence is in between both house and both families are sharing it, if a party ask to renovate it, they should get the permission first

I suggest you go MPSJ and ask. As required by MPSJ, to renovate your own area, and in order to get renovation permit from MPSJ, one of the document you need is approval letter from neighbour...

HI Astar,

The thing is even MPSJ needs my neighbour approvals for them to approve my renovation plans...which i have already done all that...thx for ur opinion and suggestions anyway...

but after making calls..the MPSJ person said he himself will come over and go nex door together with us to speak with neighbour...

Added on July 9, 2012, 3:18 pmHi kean,

my renovation is clear that i dont even touch my neighbour's property or land at all...not even a slight hacking on their property..its all on my side only..

and in the letter that i get from MPSJ for neighbour's approval...its stated clearly that if there is anything wrong example (dirty, damaging their property or whatsoever happen to them, its my responsibility to fix it and i bear the cost...i agree with that completely....

Still...NO...
