When the Local Development Plan comes around, get friends to propose any land your neighbours have an interest in as 'candidate sites' for something along the lines of local authority traveller site. Official notices have to be posted, an opportunity to cause a few sleepless nights for them! I could just see this going badly wrong!  Every cloud has a silver lining, if he did accidentally end up with a traveller site on the doorstep they might be helpful for sourcing second-hand car spares? |

Interesting that the Act doesn't say "chickens" so if the neighbour has cockerals it could be an angle to pursue. Or perhaps the allotment Act falls fowl(!) of the sex discrimination Act  Serious point, cockerals can make lots of noise so aren't included in the Act. |

You don't have to own the land to make a planning application. Employ an agent to make an application for something undesirable. That way it can't be linked to you 😂 When the Local Development Plan comes around, get friends to propose any land your neighbours have an interest in as 'candidate sites' for something along the lines of local authority traveller site. Official notices have to be posted, an opportunity to cause a few sleepless nights for them! There's a German expression, "Don't paint the devil on the wall", meaning if you do something like that it might actually come into being. That said, surely much easier to post up some fake official notices with some real council phone numbers and contact details. Then the possibilities are endless - all for the cost of a few dozen laminated printouts and nobody ever trusts the council when they deny knowing about the new religious/paintballing/flyover site.* * Comment for entertainment purposes only - don't cause aggravation for the hardworking council building/planning dept and certainly don't get a bunch of out of town straight-faced mates to dress in suits, hard hats,hi-viz and the odd clipboard to walk around the site making notes and pointing at things. And definitely don't use the contact details of the bordering council to add to the general confusion. [Disapproving finger wag emoji] |

There's a German expression, "Don't paint the devil on the wall", meaning if you do something like that it might actually come into being. My thought was, "Be careful what you wish for." Means the same. To be fair, many years ago, we lived next door to a very nosy and abrasive woman. Between the two houses was a paddock, divided in half by trees. One day dad and I were making cold frames to overwinter plants (we were florists - a pretty quiet pastime) out of old sleepers. This was at the top end of the paddock, about 100m from either house. Head pops between the trees. "What on earth are you doing, Mr Bryden?" "We're going to keep some pigs, so we're making a sty," says Dad with a perfectly straight face. Head disappears. Local council turn up, find "pig sty" full of trays of plants. Silence ensued, but she erected around 300 yards of lap fence at her cost, just in case. Neighbours can be a real P in the A! |
