Problem Neighbour and Planning - Harassment?

[mdj1]

It's not the extension he's got issue with. He has issue with the fact that I purchased a piece of land besides my house which he feels he and everyone else should be able to enjoy and I shouldn't be able to use as my garden. He's just plain jealous!

He's entitled to his opinion and to make his own objections to planning, I have no issue with that, but when he contacts the council on a weekly basis making false claims and allegations which then mean the council have to contact me, in my book that's harassment!

My plan is to warn him off, if he then continues to make such claims I will get a restraining order against him.

I will get a restraining order against him.

How are you going to manage that?

If he complains to the council, about a planning concern, then he is entitled to do that just like any other member of the public.

You think that he is just targeting you, but he may be doing the same thing about any other planning issue at other locations too.

Your supposition fails the test for harassment under the 1997 Act, and fails under any other ASB criteria too.

harassment is not defined but it includes causing the person alarm or distress.

Can he see the land from his house?

Block pave it.

LOL

From a planning enquiry or complaint? Seriously?

I'll remember to watch out for that case. It will come in handy next time I see an extension where the design is alarmingly incongruous.

Is that your neighbour that you want to remove the phone line's house.

That's made my day!.

Poo through letter box (PTLB) and tell all the neighbours he’s a paedo. Then build via permitted development and make comments about how wonderful this extra land is and what a bargain you got it for.

Is that your garden? So you mowed a cock in your own lawn? Please tell me you didn’t block pave your own drive too?!

Was gonna hedge trim tomorrow. Not to be outdone I’m going to do a topiary knob.
