Neighbours son may be living in garage

I agree with other commenters until it becomes a nuisance then its not the OP'S concern. If a nuisance is caused then you are within your rights to act. Cross that bridge when you come to it. Would I turn a blind eye to benefit fraud? Yes I would. For a very practical reason-that of self preservation. Don't trust the nat king cole to keep a secret. It can leak, and has done, leading to people getting hidings and miserable lives. Not worth the risk from where I'm standing.

I think not

Stop watching Steven Seagal films, you are getting overwrought. And there is only one L in mils (milliamps).

Hi, Our next door neighbours have a detached garage at the end of their garden that they are putting what looks like living accomadation in for their teenage son. He doesn't work and likes to play his music and comes in at all times of the night. Can they legally do this? I really don't want to have to put up with him having his mates round at the end of the garden all night.

Thanks

Mose.

And you know they are doing this without seeking permission how?

I agree with the other posters, you're jumping the gun and finding problems where they may not be any. You don't know whether the son will be sleeping there permanently, whether he's just having it as a den for crashing in occasionally with his pals, whether the parents are going to use it as their space. You know nothing other than what you've seen from your window.

Glad you're not my neighbour, how I hate busy bodies who have nothing better to do. Perhaps they really don't like you watching them either.

Keystone... so If I'm useing my house as a !!!!! house and drug dealing and doing lots of bad stuff, I'd be better off living next to you as you'd leave me in peace and let me get on with it... cool!

Don't be so moronic. I've already said that benefit fraud is a different scenario and now the place has become a crack den or similar according to you You are either blowing this out of all proportion to defend the very tenuous position you originally took or you have an over fertile imagination or you are just argumentative for the sake of it. Try and focus on the original question huh?

It is NOT the OPs concern whether or not the son is living in the garage until the neighbours do something to make it their concern. Is that too complex a concept for you?

Lots of people live in "sheds" at the end of their parents gardens I worked with a guy who just had a gas boiler fitted in his after he got married.

I sleep very well indeed due to the amount of crap that is being pumped in to me at the moment, but so long as it's not my camp fire being urinated on then why should I care if I'm not being directly affected by a problem that doesn't yet exist?

As far as planning goes, I think it will make a difference if they are creating a self-contained property - ie if a kitchen/bathroom goes in, then it's likely to be something planners wouldn't allow.

If it's just turning a garage into an insulated bit of living space, then it should be all allowed.

I wonder how they completed their census? Two in the house - kid in the garage.

Wait 100 years, and you can look it up yourself!
