Building work happening on my doorstep

disney2007_2

Can anyone advise me on building work? As soon as I open my door I am looking at a building site. I have written to the housing office and they have passed it on to the RSM, for him to look over.
Does anyone have a booklet of my rights as I have asked for one and never got one yet.
Can anyone help??????

You can ask for a temporary downgrading of the property if you experience significant loss of amenities. Not sure looking at a building site will count though.

I've known an entire street be temporarily downgraded while some major building work was going on, and I've also seen requests for Z type single accommodation to be temporarily downgraded while further building work happens be refused.
Maybe the RSM's report is needed before a decision can be made.

They are building private housing next to us.

Oh private houses....nothing you can do as you should have brought up your dislike when they published the planning papers (which would have been done weeks before any building started).

though I believe you can complain if they start/finish at unsociable hours.

Hi,
About 3 years ago I lived in a quarter on camp and they were building a superdiner right next to my back garden, the dust was soo bad my 18m old couldn't go in the garden. After an 8m fight I eventually got the whole street downgraded for the duration of the build. I pestered DE to the point of distraction I think!
I also know that when they were building the Tesco's in Tidworth the houses that backed onto the site were downgraded due to the noise, dust and floodlights.
I would your local DE office and put in lot's of complaints and get your welfare office involved too as they were invaluable to me.
Hope that helps.

You haveo "rights" per se'. You are a licencee not a tenant. The conditions you sign on taking over your SFA state that DHE will "try to", they then dictate "you will".... A complete con!
