Site next door being developed, access to our wall?

Yeah - they were not allowed to arrive early, but of course, they did. And if it was cold, they'd run their engines, right outside my bedroom window. I nearly got into a fight throwing eggs at one lorry :-) Getting woken by diesel engines every single morning slowly drives you mad.

I feel bad for the people who live next door to our coach depot. When the depot was built, in 1967, it was on the outskirts of a village three miles from the city. I know modern engines are much quieter, but I try to be as respectful as possible. Only run the engine long enough to build the air - walk around check everything else can be done without the engine running. Turn off the reversing beepers after business hours etc. Some drivers just don't give a fk sadly

Anyone who thinks being nice to builders will be reciprocated is going to be sadly disappointed. It's top down thing, I've elderly neighbour's who's life was made hell despite a so called Party Wall Agreement, I only learned what that was from here and them telling me. The two of them are basically jelly now, as for the notion of making them a Bacon Buttie, I'd go for setting out clearly the legislation and making a nuisance of yourself at building control or whatever dept is relevant.
Being nice to a builder on a site next door is like trying to feed a crocodile by hand, it's only going to end one way!

The Party Wall Act etc. 1996 may very well be relevant here too. Please see the attached link:
