Neighbour new door private garden thread #2

[Wattyyyy]

Couldn't remember the title of the last one so thought that'd do!

No sign of them at all, went out and looked through and all the lights are off, definitely not in. WTF IS GOING ON????

Oh OP what an absolute nightmare! I really feel for you and (very slightly) for your neighbours. I can't imagine how they will feel when the penny drops and they realise the absolute tonne of shit they've caused. Feeling very invested in the outcome!!

That's awful! Hope you're okay OP and hope tomorrow that the planning people come round and give them hell!

How do you bookmark on a thread?

I saw the diagram! But one question. Are there 4 gardens or 1 big one?

There are 4 walled gardens.

Omg!!!! I can't believe they thought they would get away with this !!!!!!

You need to buy a trampoline to put by doors and borrow a noisy, bouncy child.

OP, you need a film crew to capture (1) the planning officer's reaction to the desecrated window and crap doors and (2) your neighbours' faces when they finally slink back to the flat.

Shameless placemarking.

Placemarkiing!

NoWitty this may be an xpost, but to bookmark hover your cursor/finger over the bottom right corner of the last post you read. The word "bookmark" should appear, click and it turns to "saving" then "saved".
And at the very bottom of the thread, beneath the Twitter share button, you can "watch this thread".

If you're on the iPhone app, you can swipe the last post left and choose "bookmark"

Place mark. And yes to it being all that fucking Allsopps fault. I hate her (completely irrationally I admit!)

this has reminded me of my first flat, they were originally shops converted to dwellings so an odd set up but basically 4 flats shared 1 garden. It was actually called a drying green on the deeds. The odd layout meant the shared garden was behind only one of the flats, there was a little path down the side of their flat to access it. The garden was lower than the flats so it didn't feel too much like you were being overlooked by their flat. One day I went to hang out washing to discover they had replaced a window with big double doors and steps leading down into the garden making it feel very much like you were intruding in their garden. I was shocked but too young to realise I could probably have done something about it. We didn't want to upset the neighbours! They also then started to just let their dogs out straight into the garden and didn't pick up their poo. We sold up and moved soon after!!

Drat. I am off tomorrow and have loads of things to do. Instead I am going to be on MN all day pressing refresh for updates.

I remember the driveway gates lady too. I wonder what happened in the end. The wife, as I remember, was a right snotty one who told her to take it up with her solicitor when she went round to discuss. I think loads of MNers recognised the address form the pictures.

OP is probably in bed now, but I would strongly advise putting cable ties round the handles to prevent the builders doing anything first thing in the morning.

So what does CFN stand for?
Cheeky fucking neighbours?
Cunts from next-door?

If the builders have left the stuff in your yard I would go get it. If they come to ask for it tomorrow, tell them they're trespassing, get the fuck out your yard and will call police.

Can't believe the cheek.

I'm worried either 1. This will end up on Mail Online or 2. OP will ask for it to be deleted before we find out what happens next!

Raina me too!

Good luck tomorrow OP.

Wish i could see their faces tomorrow

I don't envy OP, there is something about CFN disputes that just makes you feel SO vunerable (esp. when they're such CCFFNs). We once had a build that was almost finished and the builders disappeared. They had more or less done, had not had their last payment, and left loads of expensive scaffolding.

Turned out they'd ended up doing time at Her Majety's Pleasure... we sold the scaffolding as the police said they had no knowledge of it (even though we'd asked them about it!), and that and the lack of last payment made it the cheapest bit of renovation ever they never came back for the the final instalment or nuffink! Hope you get your resolution and they can be tracked down.

Good luck for tomorrow OP - Once this is all sorted out, I hope you feel you can stay and continue to enjoy your space; sounds blissful. Maybe plant a couple of nice small trees for them to "enjoy" and to block them out without being at risk of any tit for tat prosecution. Chanticleer Ornamental pear or similar...

I seem to have missed the diagram. I swear I RTFT!
Agog for tomorrow.

I've just read both threads! Cannot believe the cheek!!
Can't wait for your next update op
