I no someone who lives in a quiet country house before they moved there was only quiet houses but then the neighbour opened a kennel in he's back garden. Now the owner can't sell he's house as people are being put off by the kennel. It's not overpriced and for the area and money your getting its quite reasonable but people don't want the barking in the houses next door. Does he have. Any rights against he's neighbour for loss of house price or anything as this kennel wasn't there before he moved in but could understand if it had been he would have only himself to blame.

Viewers have said they like it but can't have the constant barking all day. At the end of the road where you hear no barking you get a 2 bed house for almost the same money he's up for for a 4 bed house. It's a road of about 20 houses and this idiot opened a kennel in a garden in the centre of all the houses

    Most kennels in back gardens need planning consent so that is the 1st thing to check.

    They did get planning consent only because they agree to take in dangerous dogs or rescue dogs the council just turn up with them for him to take them in. Bit like you scratch my back I'll scratch yours

    Stupid place to let someone have a kennel

    If they have planning consent for the business then as long as they are abiding by the planning conditions then absolutely nothing can be done.

    Maybe useful to obtain copy of planning conditions as it may have a limit on number of dogs at one time.

    How long ago was this?

    Nowadays, planning consent for licensed kennels tends to be given in very rural locations.

    Someone applied to build new kennels within my village two years ago. There were about 12-15 objections and they didn't get permission.

    The time for your friend to object was when the planning application was open for consultation. "My house will be worth less" is not a valid ground for objecting to a planning app.
