Neighbours Garage causing an nuisance?

In the UK

He does need Planning permission to erect a Garage and it needs to comply with building regulations.

But he may have planning permission , the application notice would have been in the local paper, you do not know he is running a business.

There is no claim that the fumes are harmful because I assume the vehicles pass emission tests on the MOT.

Do not hope for much as a lot of what you say is just moaning , Go to your local council

You DO need planning permission for a garage no matter what size it is. Contact your local Council Planning Department as they can issue an Enforcement Notice for the removal of the garage. Also speak to the Environmental Health Department about the noise and fumes. I would also contact your local Councillor and put pressure on them. This is a civil tort of nuisance so if all else fails consult a solicitor.

Focus on the noise and smell. The long-term effect on plants is less defined, and people will start to tune you out. You cannot get carbon monoxide poisoning from being next door to his garage.

Contact the code enforcement officer. This is in the department of public health or building inspection services.

Be prepared for this to get nasty. Choose one of two paths:

1. Be conciliatory. Let him know that the late-night noise is a problem. If he stops making noise late, then you can accept it.

2. Take no prisoners. He is violating the law, and this sort of thing is why zoning laws exist.

I would phone up your local council and find out if he had permission to build the garage, tell them that he uses it for business use and make a noise complaint and complain about the smell. In the meantime keep a record of when he makes a noise, what time how long for etc as the council will ask you to keep a noise diary.

1. You don't need planning permission to put up a garage, or any other outbuilding, on your own property (unless it exceeds certain size limits).

2. The assessment of noise nuisance is based on: whether it is 'reasonable', bearing in mind the locality; how often noise occurs; and how many people are affected. Each case is judged on its merits and is based on the sensitivity of the average person. 10 pm would probably be OK, but if the noise went on after midnight the council might intervene.

3. You have no legal rights regarding pollution from vehicle exhausts. Considering the number of them on the roads in your area, one neighbour doing some work on a car on his property would make a minor contribution to the overall levels.

4. He is not allowed to run a business from his home without planning permission - so if you can prove that it is a commercial business, and not just an enthusiastic mechanic doing work on his own cars and helping his mates after his normal work, you might get somewhere with a complaint to the council. You will need evidence - so if you can, keep a log of vehicles coming and going, how long they are there, and what he appears to be doing to them.

It is a change of purpose of the property, or at least in part. For this reason there will be implications with council tax banding, his own tax liabilities and possibly planning consent.

I would advise you call your local council and ask to speak to the planning department for specific advice. Normally, I would suggest you talk to him first since you have to live next door to him and you don't want to upset him unduly, but in this case it appears he has no thought or consideration for you so I should forget about niceties and go straight to the council.

If this gets nowhere, speak to CAB as they may have other authorities you may get advice from for free.

why could they have a diverse landlord in the event that they're upstairs in a similar development? in the event that they won't supply you the owner's selection, (if certainly that is a diverse guy or woman than your guy or woman), then touch an area actual property agent and spot in the event that they comprehend the owner. additionally record a civil extra healthy against them for the water harm. you could record the declare by way of your coverage first, by using fact coverage companies are extra possibly to pass after the guy to blame for the wear and tear. Then record with an area county criminal professional to get recompensed for the fee of unpolluted-up after the diverse clean ups. shop specific information approximately while the wear and tear occured each and each time, and a particular checklist of things broken. Use a voice recorder to checklist their arguments. See in case you could desire to in all probability hire or purchase a decibel meter variety component, to checklist precisely how loud they get. The noise and the dogs are truly in spite of the shown fact that only unlucky circumstances, which I doubt everybody can do something approximately, however the water damages are truthfully something which you would be able to get them for. Even their landlord could want them out in the event that they could desire to maintain figuring out to purchase water damages brought about by way of the tenants. stable success!
