woody you're a bit naive sometimes.
Anyone here ever received breach of condition - hours of working?

How does the serving of notices work then?
Are you saying that authorities can pick and choose which part of planning law they want to follow?
They will take a case by case view on things at the early stages. You been on the wacky baccy again?
It was obviously past your bed time when you wrote that msg. Where did I say the council responded on Sun? I asked them how breaches are handled because I knew before I even started that my neighbour was going to be a pain.
I haven't received any breach notices - I'm just interested in knowing what others have experienced in this regard.

So you are saying that the planners chose how to implement the clear TCPA? I suppose that's in the same way they do everything else differently, like registrations, time limits, approval notices, conditional approval etc. After all they are only part of the same Act.
Yes they will investigate the breach, assuming there has been one and act accordingly. Keep digging .....
Absolutely! Regardless of wether it's statute, the law is ambiguous and open to interpretation.
Besides that, breaching a planning regulation is not a criminal act it's a civil matter. Which then goes round to the age old gotcha - money! Same as if I were to sue you, I'd first calculate the probability of actually gaining any financial compensation. There's zero point in going to court to prove that you're right - best way to loose all your money that one! Same with the councils, do you really think they want to waste valuable resources chasing down a minor breach of a complain from one disgruntled neighbour?
I'll tell you what they'll do, they'll create the paperwork and send out a notice - if the OP plays ball then case closed! If he doesn't then they'll wait for a further complaint - in the meantime they'll tell the person(s) complaining that enforcement action can take a very long time to resolve, years even - they've now set the expected timeframe and given themselves a 'get to of jail free' card. All they need to do now is take their time and keep moving the minor complaint further down the list whilst they investigate more lucrative enforcements. By now, the said works have already been completed, the OP has is building work done, the builders are off on another job, the neighbour forgets why he was ****ed in the first place and everyone goes about their business.
Why doesn't the OP try and work within the conditions? Make more sense.
If your builders can't get a days work done in the prescribed times then they must be cack.

More a case of the builders not leaving the site until 6pm (clearing up between 5 and 5.30pm) so some ancillary noise, not all necessary construction noise.
Key question is what constitutes "construction". Does clearing up your tools or say painting fall under the definition and therefore we fall foul of the condition?
Six!!
They must love the tea and ciggies.
or some builders know how to do a proper day's work
But the question remains, what constitutes "construction work" in order to fall foul of it if they're doing anything else other than running the mixer and putting up bricks etc.
What does it say on your original planning permission and what does it say on the notice?
says no construction work after 6 or before 8.
I havent got a notice. Im getting complaints from the neighbour who is threatening to speak to the council.

Get them to actually work during the prescribed hours. They must be real slackers if they can't get their day done within eight hours.
