My neighbour has built a new garage. Can I stop him? DEAN DUNHAM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My neighbour has built a garage 3ft from my boundary fence. It's 17ft tall and 20ft wide. He intends to repair and sell cars from it. Is a building of this size permitted and can he run a business there? R.H., Scotland. Dean Dunham replies: There are two issues to address: The size of the garage and the running of a business, as there are separate planning rules. In Scotland, a domestic garage or outbuilding can be erected without planning permission under permitted development. But those rights
My neighbour has turned his home into an HMO: Your rights revealed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My former neighbour recently moved to a new home but is renting out his old four-bed property as a house in multiple occupation (HMO). He has converted the dining room and living room into bedrooms so there are ten occupants, adults in their 20s. They come and go at all times of day, take up lots of parking spaces and have parties with loud music in the garden. Can I object to my neighbour using the property in this way?

I fear the neighbour's bamboo will pull up my driveway: DEAN DUNHAM (opens the original)

Dean Dunham replies: You can’t make your neighbour remove bamboo simply because it is close to your boundary, but if it starts causing a nuisance, the position may change. The important distinction is between clumping bamboo, which typically sprea
Neighbour told me I can't have a trampoline in my field: DEAN DUNHAM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My property in Wales backs on to farm fields used for sheep grazing. I recently bought one of the fields from the farmer so our children could play there, as our garden is small. We have put up goalposts and a trampoline, but now our neighbour says we can't do that without planning permission as it is agricultural land. She says we must remove the play equipment. Is she right? There is a genuine planning issue here, although it isn't quite as simple as saying that a trampoline on agricultural la
My neighbour's trees are too tall for insurance. DEAN DUNHAM replies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When my neighbour moved in ten years ago, he planted some small trees behind a fence on his own land. They are now more than three metres tall and drop large branches onto my garage and land when it is windy. My home insurance policy states that the insurance is invalid if any tree over three metres high is within five metres of my house, which these are. My neighbour says it’s my problem. What should I do? Dean Dunham replies: An insurer refusing cover, or charging more because of a neighbour’s
