Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
The wife and I moved into our new house on a brand new street about 2 weeks ago and our neighbours were all moving in at roughly the same time. Our closest neighbour began by building a large shed and laying turf all around the garden. I heard today that the developer has bought his house back from him as he was going to start a dog breeding business from his house.They only lived in the house for 1 week and I didn't even meet the guy before they moved back out

A business of that nature, operated from a private house, will require planning permission. If you don't want disturbance caused by barking, general noise emanating from such a venture, and future customers arriving to purchase canines, contact your local authority planning department, and soon.Of course, your new neighbour may well follow the correct procedures, in which case, as a neighbour, you will be given the opportunity to object

Ooohh, now you're talking! 
What are you thinking? A small block v8? or something small + turbo?There's one out there with a 3.5 Rover V8 that I have seen but since that has less power than the standard 3 litre straight six it seems rather pointless from most angles to me!

It never ceases to amaze how un-Christian many Christians actually are....I have seen people do it where they actually let the idea of being a Christian drive their lifestyle, and they are actually rather lovely (in a very local sort of a way), help little old ladies, look after their neighbours and so on. Made it possible for an elderly relative to stay in their home until they died. Can't speak highly enough.
Few and far between though.

I presume that you are referring to the last sentence. The guy who erected the shed was the original occupier and the one whom the OP did not meet.
I'm unsure which bit I haven't got here, but essentially the guy bought a new house, his neighbour was going to start a dog breeding business, but was then swiftly moved out by the developers who bought his house back off him.You then gave the guy some very sensible advice about contacting the LA to block the neighbour from opening his breeding business, but that neighbour is now gone so this seems a bit pointless?
What have I not got?!
Two odd neighbours on our street. Nothing wrong with either, but the behaviour is just a little odd.
Neighbours in the adjoining semi keep themselves to themselves. They work at odd times and are regularly in the house for large portions of the day. This isn't necessarily odd; however his regularly 30-45 minute trips out around midnight are a little questionable. Happens at least 5 days a week and while it doesn't affect me, I certainly know about it when he gets back and promptly slams his front door. They've also both spent a good 18 months building a very large pyramid of fag butts which is sat right in the middle of their patio. Why not either buy/use an ash tray, or at least clear them up when the pile starts to take over their garden?!
The other neighbour opposite is very pleasant but does something that I just cannot work out. Every day when they return home from work, they sit in their car (often directly outside the house) and play games on their mobile or send messages to contacts (always with the engine running the entire time). This can go on for over an hour a lot of the time and I just cannot work out the reasons for it.

I do this also; i have a petrol turbo and do this to allow the turbo to cool off before shutting down. Edit: not for hours at a time, just a few minutes

OP moves in / neighbour moves in / neighbour erects shed and lays turf / developer purchases neighbours property for intended dog breeding business / neighbour moves out / OP did not have a chance to meet neighbour.
That's how I read it.
