Bit of background. We live in a very nice village in a quiet cul-de-sac, all detached houses, most of the neighbours are retired but still active. It's not our first choice of house but as we send DC to public school, we cannot afford to live in the kind of house we would dearly love to.
To get to the point, our neighbours are building an very large extension which we didn't want them to build due to the distruption these kind of things cause to people's lives. Parking is an issue and we tried to, unsuccessfully, block their planning! It's been an absolute nightmare! They are doing a self-build and it is moving very slowly. We have complained to the Council about this but they are not interested as they have planning. They have a teenage son who has "gatherings" when the parents are away, couple of weekends and an annual holiday per year. His friends and him sit in the garden drinking alcohol, being loud and using language we do not approve of. We have tried to complain to the Council about this too but it has been met on deaf ears!
There was a big bust-up and none of us are on speaking terms any longer.
The extension seems to be taking forever to do and we are just fed-up with all the dust and having to look at all their building materials stacked up - it's very unsightly!
Can anyone give any advice on what we can do to stop them building?
