Neighbours and planning/building works

For the last two and a bit years our neighbours have been carrying out extensive building works but it is now coming to an end. Part of the works including replacing the fence between our gardens with a wall which according to the plans was to be rendered and painted brieze block construction. We have been asking about the timing of this as the builders will need access to our back garden but the only response we get is that they will ask their contractors. They have now rendered and painted their side but left ours untreated. This is very ugly and we want it finished. Is this a party wall matter or do we need to contact the council planning team? Our houses are listed if that makes a difference.

We’ve asked numerous times and are getting nowhere with the neighbours so want to get it enforced so we don’t have a third summer with our garden a mess.

I know there are some really knowledgeable planners etc on here - hopefully one of you can give us some pointers. Many thanks.

I think you're making a mistake not contacting Planning, Building Control and PW and trusting the neighbour to sort out the problems.

The reply to your email proves they have no consideration for you whatsoever and I would lay money they won't do as they say and you will have problems in the future.

Please contact the authorities without delay

@MrsWobble3 how did this end? Did they render over the wobbly blocks?
