just had building regs chap down from council and after the wife give him a load of ear ache about bitch next doors extension, he informed us they havent actually signed it off yet till we get sorted, what does this mean?any one enlighten us?

[ozzycat]

i think that it means that they [the council]havent accepted that it has been built right or to the plans. this could be your chance to do somthing about her

[Michael2.6]

we wont be that lucky, wife has complaints department onto it apparently this week, after they keep telling us that they have a lot of complex complaints to deal with! just to get her anyway without having to touch her will give us great satisfaction. even council fella told wife get her in court, but like she told him,if your planning officer had checked it at the start it wouldnt have come to this, and bitch is laughing at us. i hope we get some good luck just now. will not give up.

Indeed, until building regs have signed it off then the construction is not complete......and interestingly, probably not insured either....mortgage companies take a dim view of this to (as you have to declare an extension to your mortgage providor and also consult them before starting work)

Building control wont sign off an extension until it complies with the regs, it would be interesting to know the reasons for it not being signed off..........

[Michael2.6]

well she has no morgage, we looked it up and her mother bought the house, its in her mothers name, she the one with the money, thats why the bitch can afford to do all sorts, we have checked a few things, we had to incase it did go to court, and as we know she will plead poverty, she got two good vehicles, when they moved here they werte like the clampetts! had nout. but that dont bother us, but when she decides to steal some of our property, and tresspass, well we not happy! think the regs chap more or less told the wife to get her in court, he said, i could sign it off whenever i want, next week or next year. think he is trying to encourage us to do something, but wont say it outright, do you think??

[cleggy]

How much can you afford? It's all very well the Building Regulations chap telling you to go to court but how much will the intial outlay be?
Surely the responsibility lies with the Building Control to either approve or dissapprove the work the work. I guess being a council then you can't expect too much, in my experience they are all muppets, and that includes your local councillor!!! If I have occassion to complain to the local councillors I use the shotgun approach and do so to each of therm and copy the local MP, seems to get a response.

[Michael2.6]

I agree, they all muppets, they wont get involved, because as they keep saying it a civil matter. but like i keep telling them if you lot had done your job, planning section, it wouldnt be a dispute, and if that cow had built off the bloody wall it would all be on her side! we noticed a large crack down her build, which like all the other shite that we have to look at on our drive, she wont see, so regs chap advised take photo, as she might blame us, already done that. and yes her build isnt finished on our side, it a bloody mess. according to bitch face she didnt want her pipes on our side either! but they are their,wife says when hers was getting built she went out all day, and left her builders to it, she never seen the mess we had in our drive, nails,dust, etc, now she will be in her palace all day watching our workmen to kick off if they leave any mess on her side. and we get told to ignore her, the wife is at boiling point now and had a belly full of the wicked witch!wife has thought about going to local paper, when we get a cock and bull story off the complaints department at council.

[tigers_gonads]

Who's your MP ?
Might be worth having a word 

[Michael2.6]

think it a lady called helen goodman, checked up her details and neighbour disputes dont go under her cattergory, but do you mean i should see if she deals with idiots who work at the council!and their wrong doings?

[Michael2.6]

sent message to helen goodman about council, just see what she says, keep fingers crossed, will let you know what she says. keep fingers crossed! the wife is prepared to try everyone, we would like to get the whole lot of them, council, builders.and you guessed it the bitch most of all! the way we feel it wouldnt upset us if her whole bloody build had to come down, but that will never happen. pity!

[Michael2.6]

had reply thanking me for contacting her about our problems with durham county council, she will contact head of planning today, but has told me it could take up to 28days till she contacts me with the outcome, not bothered we waited 8months already, that will be a breeze! hope we get invite to house of commons where she hangs out at!

[tigers_gonads]

You will be amazed how much a local MP will help if she thinks it will get her noticed in the media or down at the city hall 

Any elections coming up in your area ?

Pass on your concerns about the planning officer to her aswell 

[Michael2.6]

cheers! not sure if she has anything going on at the minute, but will check up on it, i know what you mean, it gets her noticed more, but i not bothered, if she gives them hell, and she will get the planning offices name when she contacts them, and if not the wife will!and also tell her he checked it three months after it was bloody finished, we have it in an email we recieved from one of the many people we complained to. onwards and upwards!bet they sick of the wife putting more obsticals in the way, but then they will know how we feel, by all the obsticals we have to work round .

[tigers_gonads]

In situations like this and pretty much any situation, I used to kick off all the time and tbh its got me into the sh*t so many a time over the years i've lost count 

Bit of advise mate, kicking off won't get you anywhere.

As the saying goes ......................Keep Calm
                                                 And Carry On

the plot thickens with this one its a shame you could not find out exactly what is stopping them signing it off more so if they commented that they cannot until all your proposals are finalised/agreed

Having read through all the previous stuff re planning and re submission etc and totally bewildered as to the councils actions maybe the council has left the final approval open in case you went leagal as there are and will be obvious problem with your build which are a direct result of your neighbours actions and the way she has built her extension and of course approved by the council planning department prior to your application. There will be problems ahead and the council know it is a matter of record that you have previously objected and involved a solicitor to record these objections.

Be as cool as you can with the council remember you do not have to defend your objections thats your neighbours and the councils job. you are the ones who have suffered loss be upset but not angry and hopefully someone may fill in the missing bits of information giving you the bullets to shoot the bitch in the head
