I agree with what you say with the neighbour’s parallel back yard, this will allow sun in for longer. My clothes line is 5m from the back of my house, and it is actually never in shade, even when the sun is hitting the front of the house. There’s a 2storey section of house and a single storey section, and neither casts a shadow on the clothesline. Yes the west facing front does get hot in summer. We’ve put honeycomb blinds in the windows, makes a difference, but not on the really hot days. This is why our current build is very much a solar passive design, with thermal mass, good insulation and double glazing! Hi, I am considering to buy lot 21/1 which is next to the cornet lot. But I have concern if the if lot 21/1 owner builds a double story house then it will shade my backyard from north side in the later afternoon and will also shade north facing living areas. I am guessing neighbour house walls will be approx 2m appart due to 900mm setbacks. This may also compromise privacy with living areas on northern side. Are there any solution to these problems?
