Another property being built next to the original one – any tax implications?

Question:
I am going to rent out a property that had a huge bit of land attached to it, a much bigger back garden and driveway, but now a house is being built onto it (which I am fine with, as the property was too big). Will this change the tax that I pay on the property? The house was originally number 50 and now next to it is 50A.

What the tenant does with the property they are renting from you is not directly relevant to you. See www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/property-income-manual/pim1051. You only need to be concerned with the amount of money you receive from your land.
