Neighbour disputes

When I say 'further opportunity to complain' I mean when the council sends notification to the neighbours of the proposal. Isn't  that normal?

It certainly isn't guaranteed, nowadays. All applications will be on the council's planning website, and part of the responsibility for knowing about them rests with the public. I expect most councils are like mine, with a facility to set up an alert against a postcode or property.

You still haven't told us what's non-compliant about the log store.

What landscaping are they doing and how is it impacting you.

Withlut knowing that no one can advise you.

They have moved ground and raised their garden in a way that now overlooks us - with no hedge all is exposed.

And do you think they’re not allowed to?

The landscaping here is a massive moving of land (soil) from lower in their sloping garden to a high point which now make half of their garden a level terrace. This terrace stands way above the level of our land. The council, based on pictures I took, have said it seems to breach their rules and have now told them to get retrospective PP. This gives me further opportunity to complain.

Not sure what you mean by "further opportunity to complain"? It's up to the council whether to pursue enforcement action for lack of planning against your neighbour (and/or against you for your own alleged lack of planning). What other grounds do you think you have for complaint?

Ok, they're normally called "objections" or (more neutrally) "representations" if all you mean is commenting on a planning application. Be aware that the council will only consider objections on planning grounds, so best to restrict your comments to the application, rather than go into any of the other tit-for-tat stuff going on between you and the neighbour.

And be aware that responses to planning consultation are made public.
