Is Planning Permission required for Pigeon Shed
Ms-Money-Penny
Posts: 1,604 Forumite
Unable to sell my house mainly because the house next door has two pigeon sheds in the back garden.
They did pull one down this week and i thought hooray but they've now erected a new one in its place.
I phoned the council and they said they don't have planning permission for them and i could make a complaint and an Enforcement Officer would call and either tell them to apply for Planning Permission or to remove them.
But if i make a complaint and the outcome is that they've only got to apply for Planning Permission then i'm still stuck and they know someone has made a complaint and they'll know its me.
Anybody offer me some advice
Thanks

You mean you're on the market, and your viewers are saying they don't want to buy your house because of the sheds, or
You don't want to put your house on the market because you feel it won't sell with the sheds next door?0 -

It was on the market and failed to sell because when they saw they sheds it was a no.0 -
How long have you lived there, how long has the neighbour lived there, and how long have the sheds been there?0

Living next door to Jack Duckworth would put me off buying a house, for the noise/mess issues.0

I wouldnt really care much about the planning consent issues if I were viewing your house, tbh it would be the bloody pidgeons that would put me off - legal or not. I lived in accomodation linked to my job a few years back and every other house kept the blooming things in their gardens.
Pidgeon poop all over the washing isnt my idea of fun.... sparrow hawks ftw!0
