OP - very similar to my problem:



No paragraphs = too hard to read.

Jesus 1 post in 10 month, now that's lurking.

As for your post if they really have built a conservatory without planning permission just report them. The council will soon tell them to knock it down. Same if they've built an allotment on council property.

As for the dog fk them, I'd be encouraging the damn thing to go out onto the street and run off. It's not your responsibility it's theirs and I'm sure they'll think twice about letting it out if they know there's a chance you'll let it run off.

If the drive has public access and they block it with cars just call the police.

Oh and for the dog barking find the noise nuisance number for your council and get reporting them for that too. If you report it enough time and start collecting evidence they'll be warned and if it still carries on after that they can have the dog taken off them.

Wow, I see you have edited your drawing, top work (I genuinely mean that).

Relations have broken down, it will only spiral from here. Try bringing them a bottle of wine as a gift and talking to them about things. Yes you will have to swallow your pride but the outcome may be worthwhile. Throw in some apologies for the things you have done that have annoyed them (you don't have to mean it, but you do have to look sincere). If this doesn't work then move.

A bit difficult to read... It would be a shame if you found a stray dog wandering around and handed him in to the police.

If its anything like around here they have an arrangement with a local kennel and charge b&b when the owner turns up

[E4ordy]

thanks for reply, i know I'm a proper lurker, but always look at other peoples rant and thought i'd do my own,

zollburger - i haven't done anything wrong, we have been nothing but pleasant to them, and not tried to cause conflict, as i know i will kick off, but its got to a point with them, they annoy everyone in the area, and not just us,

plus I've done worse diagrams, not my strongpoint.

[zollburgers]

Have you every apologised to your missus to keep the peace, even though you know she is in the wrong?

Same thing here. They may think you have been unreasonable and you may not even know why. This is one possibility, there are plenty of others. At the very least you will get to hear their side of the story and decide if they are just idiots or if there is something that annoys them that you didn't know about but can easily change. And everyone lives happily ever after.

Or you may not be able to solve the problem. Until you talk to them you will not know what the situation is or what your options are.

1. Put the dog in the boot of your car.
2. Drive to another town and hand it in to the local RSPCA saying you nearly ran it over.
3. RSPCAl find the chip and return the dog back to the owners
4. RSPCA enquire how the dog got out
5. RSPCA make the owners put up a fence.
6. Make a donation to the RSPCA.

Job jobbed.

With respect i completely disagree with this, given the picture the OP gives of the type of person he's dealing with.

Get an old van and dump it on the drive refuse to move it unless .... ..... ....

Get a large dog train it to roam around and attack their dog.

Cause them a massive pain until they give in

Or

Rent your house out to the most annoying tts you can find

Or

just sell up like everyone else did before you -they think it's their own estate you'll never change their view on this!!

What would you do?

[Crafty_]

Something that I've read on other threads. If there are disputes and its reported to police/council doesn't it come up on searches if you were to sell the house ?

I'd think I'd move personally.

So hard to say for a couple of reasons.

First, there's no way i'd have let it go this long. The FIRST time neighbours display the kind of mindset i'm guessing this lot have, there has to be measured proof with opposite and equal force and resolve, plus a percentage of interest which you can only really determine from using your intuition. This is hard to put a figure on just from a typed forum post, it would be a judgement call how much further you have to go, based on the outcome you need.

No offence intended against the OP here, just how i have had to be when faced with disputes. Get in early and mean it, rinse and repeat.

Really sorry to hear OP, you have 2 choices Fight or flee! I've had troublesome neighbour before and these sound like they mean trouble, i was too reasonable with mine and they just walk all over you. If you are going to 'fight' then piss them off as much as possible. Report them for anything, park across their drive throw the dog st into their garden. Just expect a whole lot more trouble back, then give them more!! I seriously hate tts like this.Good luck!

[lawrence567]

Report the conservatory, Report the dog & owners (pretty sure you can if it's a nuisance).

[southendpier]

report the st conservatory, it will probably make your place hard to sell.

Report the farming of council land. This is an eyesore and make your place hard to sell.

oh, you must run over the dog.

If not then by allowing their dog to st on your and they must be breaking some waste or trespass law. Solicitors letter should do.

If the dog is running free and stting everywhere then call Rspca or the local hound pound.

[deltashad]

Move

[MKnight702]

May I ask why you have to take their dog back to their house? If it was me I think I would do this once, then let the dog go where it wants. If it happens to get out of the gate when you drive off then it would be a shame if, completely unaware, you shut the gate behind you leaving the nasty yappy dog unsupervised on the public highway. I mean it could get run over or anything....
