    Op - go ahead and complain about it.
    Force it to be taken down from up high and a lower and probably less efficient antenna put up instead.
    One that is more likely to interfere with your own electronic equipment that is no longer built to reject radio interference :)

    Well it doesn't look like the OP is coming back anytime soon so I doubt we'll ever know.

    Perhaps the OP was not available when the neighbour came round to let him know that he intended to install it
    In which case the neighbour could have left a letter or other written material advising the OP of their intent.
    the OP does not appear to have enquired of his neighbour whether planning permission was needed, obtained
    I think it unlikely that the neighbour is an expert in planning law so unlikely to be a reliable source of information on whether planning permission is needed.
    and the neighbour might not actually be ignorant or a t0sspot for pursuing his hobby on his private land.
    Planning laws exist because it's generally accepted (although apparently not by you) that people's unrestricted use of their private land can disrupt and disturb other people's lives.

    There be something  funny hear!!!!! :D

    OP must have appeared next door???? after the Arial went up.

    The aerial did not go up overnight - it will have a concrete base, rotator to twist it and can be lowered in high winds. 

    Also anyone  can search the local planning  applications going back years.

    Other neighbours may well be happy to have a free repair boffin next door.

    Any readers any idea where it is?

    If a human being sees this absolute monstrosity appear in a neighbouring garden and had no concern I would suggest they see a doctor.
    It appears to be overhanging  a neighbour's garden and not the OP's garden, so if that neighbour is not complaining why is the OP complaining about it.

    Because it's an eyesore.

    Well yes, but the houses themselves are not exactly things of beauty are they?
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)

    That is a good guess.  It is a pity the OP has not said why they are inquiring about the legalities of the aerial.
