CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

[Wattyyyy]

Okay I thought I'd start this for when they inevitably show their faces!!

Sorry all the threads have different titles

I have a slight update - I managed to catch the nice neighbour at the other side (I think he'd heard the commotion and was loitering about waiting for me )

He was gobsmacked! Apparently he's lived here for thirty years and has never heard anything like it. I told him I'd keep him updated and he asked if i wanted to come in for a cup of tea, I politely declined hahahah. Glad I now have a nice normal neighbour on my side!

They'll have to come back at some point. I'm going to try and gauge what kind of people they are before approaching.

I.e. will they or will they not punch me in the face. If it's the former I'll definitely be out to have words!!

Just caught up.. can't believe it!!

So glad you have Nice Neighbour on side

Just marking my territory as you do - took a liking to this particular space so there!

I wonder if the CFN's ears are burning?

From memory they have handles so def doors

Can someone update me with what the state of play is now, please ?

I imagine they'll be back on Sunday or the like.

Yes definitely doors that open outwards onto the garden.

This has to be one of my all time favourite threads. So glad for you OP that the planning people have been so on the ball.

have you managed to speak to the other neighbours yet op?

I hope you can get it sorted amicably where the CFNs accept full responsibility for this saga. It's your home, we don't have to live with these idiots the other side of the wall.

.

Would OP or any other kind soul re post the diagram please?

I don't even know where to start looking for it the threads are so long.

Thanks!

Thread 3! How exciting!

So glad you got the result you wanted.

The cheek is astounding. They'll be put into their place with this notice though.

Invite all of the neighbours around when they return and you can all shout SHAME at them through the glass doors

I've read all threads with interest and I think the very next thing you need to do, OP, is call the conveyancing solicitor you used for your purchase. Tell them what's happened and commission them to send a letter to your neighbours outlining that your garden is your private garden and they do not have any right of access to it. As other posters have said, you and Planning are on the same side but ultimately their responsibility is preservation of the building not who has access to your garden. You need to look after your own interests.

Op have you checked the last registry entry to see what address they use? May give you a clue as to whether developers/BTL. Alternatively it is possible that if they are connected to builders or trust them they've chosen to get works done whilst they are on holiday or still living in previous home to save themselves living through it.

Also is there a managing agent for your block? If so I would be onto them asap.

I brought not too much, as I am on a diet

Ps planning aren't interested in use of your garden per so so it is important they understand that they have no access. So even if a window is reinstalled they cannot climb out to access your garden. Sounds bizarre but I remember seeing people with that access on Location x 3

I can't believe the amount of Cheeky Fuckers out there!! These are the type of threads that cause my housework to back up and lunch to be missed! Hurry up home CFN!

Runninglikeamummy - someone posted up a picture on the 1st thread that was of an arched sash window set in brick with exterior shutters which Wayyy said was pretty close to the window in question.
