Hey everyone, LTNS!
Please don't shoot me down as I have a serious question.
Next door have been building a fecking huge extension for the last 8 weeks. Clearly, it's really been noisy, it's a big carbunkle, semi-detached so no longer look a pair. They have built (with planning permission and PWA) 3m out, single storey across the whole back, so my outlook is now rubbish
. I have a bay window so can now view a 4m high wall.
Anyway, my point, they have put a sort of stage scaffolding across the back extension to go higher and do the flat roof part. During the PWA, I did agree to scaffolding on my land if necessary and it was to be wrapped to protect my privacy. However, they've not used my land but it's not wrapped either, so they can see in my lounge, my bedroom and the whole of my garden (yeah yeah, should they wish).
I did have the brickie looking down at me yesterday, with a smirky grin that he was lucky I didn't slap off him.
Is it usual for privacy wrapping on residential - even if say they finish that bit in a week... I don't know how long they plan it to be there. The neighbour is a bathroom fitter/ builder himself so he's doing it all (apart from brickying/ scaffolding) along with his son & mates. (Not sure how they are earning a living...).
I find them pretty inconsiderate and they only occasion when I did ask what time they were going to finish (it was 7pm) and had been really really noisy, the son just said "it's a building site" - dumbass! It's your home and I'm your neighbour!!
Anyway, I know I'm moaning but I am trying to be tolerant and accepting of the new build, oh they also now have a raised "balcony" all along, which means they are now head & shoulders above hedge too... not on plans.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Oh I forgot to add... one of the handrail tubes was sticking out too far, so the brickie took to it with a mallet to smush it along... not sure that's allowed!
