Building work next door and baby's right to sleep?

[WannabeHippy]

Hi, just wondered if anyone on here had any experience of extended building work next door and whether their baby is deemed to have any human right to sleep during the day? Really hope someone can help me - 7 months in the owners have finally made contact, and it's just got really noisy. Given their total lack of courtesy so far (ie no attempt to contact us in 7 months), I'm not hopeful they're going to be nice about it...obviously they don't live on site, and the guy involved is a professional developer....the builders already tampered with our water suppy too out of stupidity. Sorry, this is turning into a rant :-). Anyway, I asked them to stop their noise twice now, just wondering where I stand legally, as they say they can do what they like. All help / empathy appreciated!

I renovated my house two years ago and it is a mid terrace and I gutted it. I kept neighbours informed but still got complaints. My sister is an EHO and the law states certain times in the day you can do the work. Outside of those times if when you have the right to complain.

Everyone has the RIGHT to have there basic needs met, like sleeping, eating and a level of peace, especially in there own home!!! It is illegal to not have that.
As someone who lives underneath incredibly noisy neighbours who are addicts and a young baby suffering as a result, an we now being moved elsewhere as a result because current housing association deem it serious enough, because my child's well being is suffering... So no, as some people suggest, you do have rights and don't just have to 'suck it up' and I sympathise with your baby being unable to get the rest they so badly need to even function, since a baby needs solid rest and plenty of it.

Err - this thread is almost 12 years old.
The baby is almost a teenager by now and I imagine can sleep through a nuclear war!!

Please don't resurrect the zombies!!
