Product Information

If you receive a notice from the council and you're not happy with what's being proposed, you should register your objection with the planning department. Registering an objection doesn’t mean that the proposal will be refused – but it's important to make your views known to the council. It sounds like a cliché, but it’s usually good to talk to your neighbours. One in three people have found that this has solved any noise problems immediately. Surprisingly often, people do not even realise they are being annoying and few people are totally uncaring about those around them; most are just unaware. How should you raise the noise issue with your neighbour?

To activate the community trigger, you must pass a threshold test which is usually that you have suffered at least three incidents of anti-social behaviour in the last six months and that you reported each incident to either the police, council, or registered provider of the housing within 30 days of the incident taking place.” If you live in a community with a homeowners association, you may be able to report your nosey neighbor and have them reprimanded by the head of your HOA. By filing a complaint in this manner, your nosey neighbor will get a clear and pointed message: take your nose out of my business and put it somewhere else! There are no two ways about it; some people just can’t take a hint. After you’ve taken measures to limit your neighbor’s ability to snoop on you and/or confronted them directly, the most determined nosey Nellies and snoopy Samuels may not be deterred. If this is the case, then you may be forced to take more drastic actions. Decide how to handle the situation. You may want to confront your neighbors, you may want to avoid them, or you may want to befriend them.Whether it's music or TV, loud gatherings or barking dogs, it can be very frustrating to have noisy neighbours. How much of a problem it is depends on how often it occurs and when. For instance, noise in the day can be less of a disturbance than noise late at night. Calmly discussing with your neighbour how their actions are affecting you may be best way to resolve the issue. If you can’t reach an agreement, you can ask a mediator to help. Use the Civil Mediation Council's search tool to find a mediator. Heidi Douglas-Osborn, Policy and Public Affairs Executive of the CIEH, warns of the affects noise pollution can have: “Noise pollution can affect a person’s quality of life as well as their health. Sleep disturbance is one of the most harmful effects of environmental noise exposure.

Keep a record of incidents – what happened, when it happened and who was involved. A clear record of anti-social behaviour can help if you make a complaint.So what if your neighbour is looking out of his/her window at you – just ignore them. If the problem with your nosy neighbour is amounting to more than just prying eyes, this may seem like a difficult solution. Constant interrogations as you step out of the car are difficult to step away from. If it feels too uncomfortable to completely ignore them, politely saying you don’t have time for a chat and walking away may feel more reasonable. Here are the steps you can take if you are having issues with noisy neighbours. How to deal with noisy neighbours summarised Give a brief description of what is going on. Tell them what is currently happening. Say something like, “I’m trying to file a noise complaint on one of my neighbours who is having a party that is not in accordance with our community rules.” It might be difficult to sue for noise damage because determining damages is pretty subjective. If you still want to give it a try in small claims court, use your log that you should have been keeping from earlier steps. Show that there is excessive and disturbing noise on several occasions caused by the neighbour you’re suing.

Here are a few options to help you reduce the amount of outside noise coming through into your home: You should also be aware that any official noisy neighbour complaints will go on record and could make it harder for you to sell your house. Insulate your walls with sound proofing. Depending on where the main source of external noise is coming from you may consider soundproofing the party wall (the wall adjoining you and your neighbours home) or whole rooms including walls, floors and ceilings. If your neighbour has been violent or threatening, do not try to approach them. Call 999 while the crime is happening, or 101 to report it later. Does your neighbour want to extend their house? Have they built something that affects you or your property?

To count as a 'statutory nuisance' that the council can help deal with, neighbour noise must either: When you approach them, it is a good idea to have three examples of when they were excessively noisy to hand, complete with dates.Tell them too how the noise affected you, but don’t be accusatory. Rather than saying, “you kept me awake”, tell them, “I could not sleep because of the noise that night.” Getting the council involved could raise tensions with your neighbour and the dispute might escalate — your neighbours could ultimately end up in court.
