What are the odds?

Just got a letter from council advising us that the block directly besides us is going to have the same house (Concerto) built. They are even using the same fascia; the only difference is we are having a little render on the bottom. Im just a little annoyed as there is not one concerto in Alba atm and now there is going to be two side by side argh!
Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned?
Fingers cross they didnt choose the same colours..

Building certificate

Got a phone call from the bank that our certificate has been given to Allworth. Spoke to Allworth and we should be starting in 20 working days! So excited!

Contracts signed

After a long wait to check if the sewer line affected our slab.. Allworth have given us the ok to sign contracts. The engineers have said that the sewer will not affect our slab. We are waiting for the water aboard to approve this before we can commence building.
We have lodged all paper work to our bank and are waiting for a building certificate. Allworth said they will commence building (20 days) after receiving the approval and certificate.
