The trouble seems to be "What kind of relationship can you develop with your neighbour?"
The letter of the law is one thing and certainly needs to be adhered to as it has been decided that this is "reasonable" for the whole community.
However, you have neighbours with a certain set of needs. These may or may not be similar to yours so it is up to you to decide how much you want to respect them as people and try to meet their wishes and keep the peace between you.
I certainly thought when my neighbour started complaining about me that I should get quieter both inside and outside the house and park somewhere different. I made some real changes and was careful to follow the letter of the law, and also take his needs into consideration.
In the end this meant that I couldn't close a drawer in my bedroom after dark without him banging on the wall. His every compliant seemed to add up to one thing in the end - he wanted me to evaporate. I avoided the gardens front and back, I moved the TV, I started using subtitles. He is a lawyer and very aggressive and petty about every tiny thing - really tiny and unreasonable.
I had a chat with his then GF who, when she heard and saw the changes I had made was sympathetic. But her sympathy was ineffective in helping him.
My situation clearly went too far "the other way". He needed someone to tell him what is reasonable. I now think I should have kindly and patiently stuck to the legal boundaries and been robust with that. I was being bullied and he scared me. I didn't seem to be able to stand my ground with him.
I have a friendly relationship with my other neighbour and we are much more able to be fluid with how we live alongside each other. They sometimes make noise late at night, I don't mind. We share bins so that I don't have to keep 3 different wheelie bins too. I make very little rubbish. We both put them out on the right day so they are always emptied.
The police told me not to talk or interact with the chap next door, and despite his having undoubtedly caused criminal damage and aggressively overstepped the law a couple of times with me and my visitors, they just want to get people to live peaceably and are very reluctant to do anything. The harassment laws are all but useless in this situation. He has also shown similar behaviour to others.
It has been years now and a horrid journey.
If you do indeed live "next door to complainers" as someone said above, I would certainly suggest that you take some measures to keep the peace with a bottle of wine, and arranging times to work to minimise discord. I would also not do any sort of "bending over backwards" or "digging your heels in" because both tactics will leave you angry or depressed or both (in the longer term) and you will spend hours of your life talking about all this.
Your actions will also shape how your neighbours will deal with the next opportunity. Until you try a few approaches out you won't really know how flexible or rigid you are going to have to be with each other.
You do of course need to repair your house according to your own standards and you have the right to do so. The question is how?
I wish you calm, peace and good luck!
