Dispute over neighbours garden develiopment
Disgr
Posts: 4 Newbie
My neighbour has done some work on their garden.
They did originally submit planning for a decked area but planning was refused. They changed the work to take onboard part of the rejection and did the work anyway. I am concerned that it should have planning permission still..
I am looking to sell in the next year or so and am considering complaining to the council to force them to get planning.
If I do this is this classed as a dispute when I come to sell and would I need to tell potential buyers?

Why does it matter to you if they have planning or not? It will not affect your own sale.
If you raise a formal complaint with the Council it will need to be declared.0 -
I'm concerned that as it borders my garden it could (despite fencing) make my house less desirable.0

What have they done to their garden that would reduce the value of yours?0

thanks guys will just let it be then and have a word to see what we can do0

thanks but if I report a breach of planning regulations is that classed as an official complaint when I come to sell?0

If what they've done is the sort of thing which is likely to be approved, then what's the point? Any enforcement would start with giving them the opportunity to make a retrospective application, so then you'd be selling with a (possible) neighbour dispute plus an ongoing planning application next door.0
