To think my neighbour can drill a whole in my house to permanently hang a 15ft tarpaulin?

[Euro21widow]

So, name changed as obviously outting as pretty sure this isn't a normal occurance!

My neighbour has drilled a hole in my (grade 2 listed) building so she can permanently hang a piece of tarpaulin about 15ft up (as high as my 1st floor roof) for "privacy". Surely she can't just do this? Where do I go from here? It blocks all the light out to my ground floor windows now. Have included (bad) diagram.

Oh what a shame it was a troll!

@DartmoorDoughnut well that's my morning read sorted!

Hi @MrsTulipTattsyrup. I did report it like I think you suggested. Under work done to a listed building on my council's planning page. I couldn't get through to anyone due to covid and was directed to the form online.

I sadly don't have an exotic Gran or a sangria recipe :-(.

Yes but you do have a gang of unruly pirates right here on this thread. Aaaarrrrrr!

I am more in the mood for rum than sangria tbf . And maybe a rendition of "what do we do with a drunken sailor" later.

That's the spirit!

Oh yes! I didn’t mean to imply that, OP! It was just all the other stuff about English Heritage, planners and COs afterwards. Planning enforcement deal with all this stuff and seek advice from specialist officers as appropriate, so you’ve done the right thing. Following the other suggestions would have taken you a long time ringing round only for everybody to tell you to call enforcement.

This would be the best course of action I could imagine now that you’ve got the local authority on the case!

You're right Black, but in my experience with a neighbours flag flapping around, they can cause horrendous noise disturbance too & that's not always something you want to wait to have fixed.

One of our neighbours has a flag and the actual flag is ok, it's the metal clipping bits of whatever they are called, that attach the flag to the pole which are annoying. It ding dings when it's a bit windy, though not as bad as a neighbour behind us who had one for a short while which was the noisiest thing ever!

That would drive me mad!

She does sound unpleasant from your other posts though!

Can I be part of the ship, part of the crew? 🍹

Thanks @MrsTulipTattsyrup. I really do appreciate all the support. Wasn't expecting such the response, but am glad my first reaction that she wasn't on seems to be correct.

It’s definitely not on! She’s absolutely bonkers.

Madness!

Goodness gracious!!! I would be fuming

"What shall we do with batshit neighbour?" sounds well to the same tune.

Gah, phone left out the 'the' before 'batshit'.

Just wondering what kind of a person voted YABU

The person who pressed the wrong button by accident. (Not me in this instance but I have form).

I love a CF when it isn’t affecting me 😂

I’m always surprised by the balls of some people. What if she had caused damaged (or is causing damage now).

Ignoring the Grade 2 Listing aspect to the issue, if it's in the back of your house then unfortunately the lack of light aspect won't be considered. Apparently, you have no 'right to light' at the back of your property. My Mum discovered this when her neighbours put up a huge extension and blocked her entire garden from ever receiving any sunlight! :(

Teach the children sea shanty songs and offer them a reward for singing whenever she is outside under the sail. Summer holidays coming up 😂
