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

[SapphosRock]

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?

That’s awful! I hope house on the right has complained (is it you?)

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?

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

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...

That’s awful!

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?

They definitely haven't given permission

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 ?

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

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

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!

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

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

The drive? It looks to me as though the houses have no drives, they open onto the pavement.

The house opens up onto the pavement doesn't it? Surely they could have put it on the scaffolding on the left house if they needed it?

They look to me like houses that open straight from the pavement, so there won't be a drive.

Which, I suspect, is why the scaffolding has been extended, expressly to put a Portaloo on it, as the loo can't be placed on the pavement or roadway, and for no other purpose.

Cheeky fuckery of the highest order.

Scaffolding is on the footpath, so will have nothing to do with the house on the right. They will have applied for permission to place it there.

They will have been told to ensure public access to the footpath alongside access to and escape route from the house on the right in case of fire. If the window that opens fully to allow escape from the first floor is behind the portaloo the portaloo needs to be moved. If not, then there is little that can be done.

Did they have permission for scaffolding at all?
Not that it makes putting a toilet there ok, even if they did.

They should have asked permission to put scaffolding over your house and a toilet there doesn't make sense, can't they use a public toilet or the one in the house. Is the house occupied. Whatever that is it needs to be moved to their side, cf.

I hope the house on the right have complained. Presume the owners of left hand house aren't living on site, so might not be aware.

How odd

I would not be happy with that and isn't it odd to put a toilet up there?!

Surely a portaloo needs to be on solid ground, not a flimsy scaffold several floors up?
It's seems utterly grim.
I can only presume the person who's window is obscured doesn't live there. If they do they'd have it rectified swiftly surely?
Maybe they own both properties?
Else I fail to see why the window user/occupier wouldn't have stopped it.

Eeeeeee!

Ring the scaffolding company and tell them they've put scaffolding up at your house that you didn't ask for and please can they remove it TODAY!

The sun is shining on it today. Just heard the builders declare how much it 'stinks'

Thanks for the advice, will get onto the scaffolding company.

Bloody hell!
