Taking a homeowner to court

Are you for real!!! Speak to someone (if you’re not up to it yourself) to put the fear of God into him. I don’t care who you are, the fear of a threat is generally enough. Scare the life out of the Fxxxxr
 
Apologies, it has taken too long to post a pic but here it is.

Not the prettiest of sights overlooking your fence. Id go onto your local gov.uk website, look at the planning portal and that should tell you the ins & outs restrictions on outbuildings.
Too tall in my opinion.
Alternatively make an appointment with a planning officer at your local council and take the photographs along.

Might be a while before you can get an appointment with the lockdown though.
 
You could try environmental health if they start burning stuff, depends where you live, it could be a smokeless zone. Any building in the garden has to be less than 2.5mtrs high from the highest point, but don't think councils can be arsed any more.

These guys do burn stuff frequently. They chop up wood and use it to grill meat.

From next year the use of "wet wood" will be phased out for wood burning stoves, by wet wood, I think they mean unseasoned, and whether that contraption would come under the regulations I'm not sure. Every time they light it, complain to the council.
 
Had another bloke grizzeling from. Up the road at 3pm.one afternoon when I started up my Norton

Said he was eating his tea :confused:
Pizzes me off when someone is red lining his motorbike,in his garage just for full sound effect.Very low tolerance for that caper.
 
Its been modified, so the 4/10 year rule and any certificate of lawful development may now been nullified. It should be enforceable.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/8/section/171B

The four year rule applies to alterations and additions and changes of use to a single dwelling house. If the work involves a change of use to something other than a single dwelling house then the time limit for enforcement action is ten years.

Thank you. I will get in touch with the enforcement team.

On a positive note, the last time X decided to have a wild party, I complained and a Noise officer called me. I asked for recording equipment to be provided to me as the noise was stop and start and would be difficult for a noise officer to come and witness. Well, I didn't receive any equipment but X has been quiet since.
 
If one wasn't bad enough, they now got two!
Btw, what is the maximum length of a garden shed/conservatory? This seems like half the garden size.

you can fill up to 50% of our garden with sheds under PD.
They could all be 2.5m tall too.
Plant a nice hedge so you don't have to look at them.
