To think you can't put a toilet outside someone's bedroom?

Get onto building control at your council and environmental health. That’s appalling. Have you been sent a party wall agreement? Has their surveyor contacted you? Should be at least 2 month before work starts.

Do you know the neighbours or are they new? They can’t just put scaffolding over your property, they risk damaging it, at which point you can sue them. Is the company name on vehicles? I’d be contacting head office or whoever the owner is.

Actually it is.
confirmed by a litigation solicitor specialising in land/property issues. No permission sought let alone granted doesn’t help in this situation.
From a lay person’s point of view- are you telling me if you opened your curtains one morning to a shedload of scaffolding and a portaloo you wouldn’t have a problem?!

A large truck turns up.
They connect a big thick flexible pipe and suck it all up.
Its grim! And really stinks!

It looks as if the scaffolding across the house on the right, has been purposely put up to accommodate the portaloo! I'd be creating merry hell about that!

This post actually made me laugh out loud at how ridiculous this situation is! Even showed pics to hubby who exclaimed a very unlike him response of "WHAT THE FUCK?" 😆
Our next door neighbours have just had a loft conversion so we've had scaffolding up for last few months with their build. Scaffolding was only secure AF if they were able to put some over our boarder... didn't inconvenience us in the slightest but they STILL had to ask permission (which I agreed they could) They also asked permission to come across our newly laid driveway to do it. I said no to that and they had to take the long way round.
This is absolutely bat shit!

It’s not trespass or criminal damage. It’s not touching the house or on their land. As far as the scaffolding goes it’s no different to when a utility company digs up the road or pavement outside your house.

It isn't. It is extending over a pavement, "owned" by the council, that just happens to go past the front of the property on the right.
If it was extending over the OP's property, there would be no issue.

Why is the scaffolding even extending over the property on the right?

Who are the builders? Contact their company and complain, say you want it removed from the front of your property as you cannot open your bedroom window and it is obstructing your view, and it smells.

Besides anything it is Trespass!!! Criminal Damage!
I have NEVER seen a portaloo anywhere other than on ground level! Do you could be in your bedroom with a guy taking a piss just outside your window. what’s wrong with outside the house they’re working on? It’s like a (bad) slapstick comedy sketch!

Omg then I would be in a rage 😡

Won’t be a problem they have suction tanker with long hose on reel

Or does that front door open straight onto public highway? If so, does the householder have any rights over what is placed in front of their house?

Even if no rights, that is such an antisocial and inappropriate thing to do.

Absolutely no way I'd be putting up with a stinky portaloo right outside my window. I'd also be getting the scaffolding over the front door removed too.

Why ask? Why not tell them?
"Take your scaffolding off my property. And take your portaloo off my property."

can you reach it from a window ?
Be a shame if you were washing your windows and it was ‘accidentally’ bumped and it fell off.

Is this a joke it looks that way.
Theres no way a portaloo can be emptied in that position 🤣

So, you had one outside your own house whilst you did work on it. Hardly the same as installing one outside your neighbour's bedroom window is it?

I’d be tempted to glue the lock mechanism, they’d have to order a new one!

The scaffolding should not be on your property without permission so I’d get that removed immediately. I guess the portaloo can be anywhere on their property. Unbelievably rude and cheeky!

I had one outside the house when i had work done.

DIdn't bother me in the slightest and it really didn't smell as much as some people on here are making out. Barely noticed it, in fact.

Personally, if it was only going to be a short period of time I would just let it be.

And builder with there selection of readily available tools would have that off in no time

also don’t venture onto the scaffolding to do this

Some portaloos have a clasp hole and you can put a padlock on it, I’d be padlocking that fucker this evening.

This is a stock photo from some scaffolding in St James's London. It's clearly something that's considered acceptable by building companies.

It's the lack of sought permission which is blowing my mind.

It's irritating me a lot.

The thing that makes me feel it will be hard to tackle is the thought of how much effort and work it must take to manoeuvre a portacrapper into that position. There's no way they didn't think about it at all; that's some effort.
