My next door neighbour is putting an extension on his kitchen but for the past 3 weeks running he has had trucks delivering materials and diggers excavating from 7:30am on a Saturday morning. I let the first 2 weeks go as I reckoned that breaking up a concrete patio and digging foundations were likely to be the most disruptive and noisy part of the job. But this when this morning we were awoken once again by machinery working all of 10 feet from my bedroom window delivering paving slabs. I decided enough was enough. I went out and confronted my neighbour saying that making this kind of noise at this time on a Saturday 3 weeks in a row was too much. He however didn't want to know and said that he had a job to do and that I didn't own the area.
To me this level of ignorance doesn't bode well so I've decided to take steps, I'm going to ring my local council as I'm hoping that there are restrictions on when you can make this kind of noise over a weekend. I'm not unreasonable, if he'd approached me and said what he was doing I would have suggested a compromise of 9-9:30 as long as this wasn't going to be the case every weekend for the next few months (he's building it himself working only on the weekend). Has anyone else had to deal with this kind of thing and how did they handle it or has anyone any suggestions to make about how this could be handled with the minimum of disagreement.
