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

House on the left is having work done.

House on the right has no involvement in the work.

AIBU to think you can't just put a random portaloo above someone's front door and outside their bedroom window?

It might be to do with the stability of the scaffold where it has to come out further, I’d be ok with that if my neighbour needed scaffold but not for them to put a toilet there

But did they ask permission to go onto someone else's property toilet or not

Morph22010 · 10/05/2024 11:38

I can’t understand why it’s not just on the drive of the house on left surely that would be easier

They definitely haven't given permission

Then that's absolutely next level twat behaviour! God help the people on the right with living next to such cheeky fuckers if their neighbours are that entitled that they think this is acceptable!

Definitely not OK, whatever it's being used for.

Well presumably the house on the right has given permission for the scaffolding to be placed over the house, and since the reason it is needed to be there seems to only be for the loo, then I guess they're ok with it?

Why would someone haul a portaloo up scaffolding ? I mean this is not a trivial amount of effort, you would have to be highly motivated to do it and emptying it would be a pain !

Are you sure it isn't just some sort of store ?

I'm hoping they have their neighbours permission otherwise yikes that's incredibly rude of them!

Also I'll admit I know very little about scaffolding but I don't see why the scaffolding needs to be across front of the right house?

WaltzingWaters · 10/05/2024 11:35

That’s awful!

BigDahliaFan · 10/05/2024 11:35

edited as didn't read OP.

Anyway - our council has strict rules about scaffolding and what can be up and where - so presumably that bit of scaffolding was applied for...

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 10/05/2024 11:34

Of course you can’t - I’d ask them to get that taken down asap
