  • 3.66m Black Screen On Border - Does Not Require Planning According to Council

    My neighbour has put up a 3.66m Black Screen directly on the border which is now 1.75m wide. This is part of a long term harassment campaign by the two neighbours, their landlord (all with connections to the council) and their social service team.

    Recently the neighbour has doubled the area of the sail-like material above the fence line.

    The council allowed the old Black Screen without planning. They did so by saying the landlord of the neighbour had stated it was erected outside 4 years.

    When we could prove that was not true by in frame time-stamped video and police communication (about a 13 years harassment campaign by the neighbour), the council falsely said it was a difference of opinion about the date of construction and did not view or collect the evidence.

    The old Black Screen was connected to the border fence with screws. We had video. After a year of the neighbour delaying a planning inspection, those screws were removed just before the inspection. We had video of them being removed.

    This made the screen very dangerous, waving in the wind putting us in harms way. We took evidence of its instability for 6 months. The council falsely claimed it was a free-standing-structure, even though it was clearly being held up by the fence and would have fallen down immediately if the fence was not there.

    They then said it was allowed as we have a CCTV camera on the wall. This only looks into our property. We can prove that for the 600 attacks the neighbour did against our CCTV cameras and every day since that trial multiple times a day. He was found guilty of that crime in a court, but the judge was only aware of just 2 attacks.

    However, in court the partner of the neighbour said it was defintiely looking into their garden. This was backed by the council who would visit just after he attacked it and would watch us getting the replacement camera back into working order by cleaning rat's innards, damp flour, mud, lard and other fowl substances off it. They falsely claimed we were moving it, but the council would never take our complaint, or view or collect the evidence to show that was not true.

    At the start of the year the old Black Screen fell down.He put it back up, but doubled the size of the area above the fence.

    Neighbours are laughing at it to our detriment.

    The new Black Screen is obviously more dangerous due to the massively increased sail-like area above the fence and is waving about above the fence. We have taken video.

    The council have provably falsely claimed the area is not substancially changed and again are not requiring planning. They are again allowing it to stay.

    In addition the council are fully aware during all this time the neighbour has committed multiple acts of violence against us and are engineering events to make multiple false complaints against us. The council have never viewed or collected the evidence.

    The council will say nothing about the danger of the structure. They will say nothing about the doubling of sail-area. They will do nothing about all the lies over the many years in council records. The complaints department say they cannot question the decision. So effectively, they can lie and falsify their records indefinitely and they are never accountable.

    We can prove this council worker is a liar and they are refusing us a Stage 1 or Stage 2 response.

    What do we do next?

    Other notes: The council let him have rats nests on his garden for 7 years, only clearing it just before his trial for criminal damage. They allow him to throw dog's mess and other objects into our garden since 2015. This includes stones against our car window causing damage. They allowed him to have all day fires for years without action. He has been allowed to spread false rumours for years and they still allow him to do so. They have allowed multiple acts of violence against us starting in 2016, and they are aware this has been happening recently again on multiple occasions.

    Reading this sorry tale and your previous posts on this forum, it seems to me that you really should be considering direct legal action against this neighbour. You are not getting anywhere trying to get others to take action.

    You should consult a solicitor.
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.
