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?

Yes I refuse to believe it. Honestly unless you're the most passive doormat known to mankind then this is something that would quite rightly bother you.

Portaloos stink! The fact you only have to look at it for 20 seconds a day is irrelevant. Your bedroom would smell like a toilet and you'd be totally fine with that?

Portaloos don’t smell, according to this poster!

That is fucking outrageous.

Creating a none smelling portaloo would be the kind of thing that would make you a millionaire... although I still wouldn't want one outside my bedroom window.

It might be temporary, but that temporary could be many many months! A house around the corner from me has had scaffolding up whilst they did building work for at least 8 months, maybe more.

A couple of days might be tolerable, but any more than that would be a big fat NO WAY from me.

They can't legally put scaffolding on your house if you didn't agree, let alone a portaloo.

Report the TURDIS to the Council.
The whiffs in this warm weather will be gross.

The scaffolding needs to be pushed back to only cover the property being renovated.
Then the portaloo should be removed and placed in the properties garden or elsewhere.

And whoever owns that house needs to sort their builders out!

That's grade A cheek!

The scaffolding is just to support the Turdis across neighbour's property.

That is awful. I would be going potty if that was outside my window.

Why didn't they just put it outside the house they are working on.

Get the council and your solicitor straight onto that. Charge for any damage. Local press too. Outrageous!

I'd be giving them shit.
They are taking the piss.

Daily Mail!

I don’t think you have if you think they don’t smell. Even clean unused ones smell of all the chemicals. Yes you don’t need to look at it all day but imagine trying to sleep at night with that stink outside your window.

I think you'd be entirely justified in kicking off big time about that. That is outrageous and disgusting. It's pretty obvious you'd have said no if they'd asked.

Phone local council. Ask for building inspector. They’ll be round like a shot.

That’s absolutely dreadful! I’d worry about stuff dripping in front of the doorway. Who honestly thinks a chemical toilet outside someone’s bedroom window is reasonable. It’s fucking disgusting not to mention totally unsafe. If I got home and my builders had done that to my neighbours I’d be absolutely mortified.

Hope you’ve got it sorted before the weekend OP.

I wouldn’t allow this in a million years but I guess technically you don’t own the air space outside your house, if it was on the pavement, would you legally be able to tell them to move it? Assuming they had permission. I’m not sure the scaffolding is touching the other house?

We had scaffolding for a loft conversion and we had to put some in our neighbours front garden but of course we spoke to them about it. We also had a small issue when a pole at the back went over into our other neighbours garden and meant they couldn’t fully open their bathroom window, that was resolved pretty swiftly too.

😂😂😂

This ^^^

If the house being worked on doesn't have a garden or drive to put the portaloo on it has to be located on the road - requiring permission ffrom the council

Complain to the council

And this ^^

She is going potty! Portaloo potty! 😤😁😜

How did they get it up there?

Took me ages to read this as I assumed it was a weird en suite post 🤣.

who owns the house on the right????

It’s utterly outrageous.

This is insane.

Sidenote: these look like lovely houses.
