Summary
Key Points
Why it matters: 许多房东都会遇到邻居推倒重建的问题。了解 setback、overshadowing 和 overlooking 规则，可以避免因信息不足而错失沟通和申诉机会。
有群友遇到邻居计划拆除重建二层住宅，并已开始进行阴影测量。讨论中提到，如果只是单户住宅且符合 ResCode 等规范，部分项目无需 Council Planning Permit，而是由私人 Building Surveyor 审核。邻居通常仍需遵守退界（setback）、遮挡（overshadowing）及隐私（overlooking）要求，例如朝向邻居的窗户可能需要磨砂处理。若对设计有疑虑，建议尽早与邻居沟通，并向所在 Council 查询具体规定。
