Moving to the nuisance does not protect the nuisance from being actionable. It's annoying but there it is. If you moved next to a motorway would you accept that your kids were going to possibly suffer from atmospheric pollution causing them asthma? Wouldn't move next to a motorway enfieldspares, if you chose to do so that is your look out as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long game is more dosh from hundreds of houses when the offender has been closed down due to complaints that the council has a duty to investigate and act on.

Two days before ‘ the beast from the east ‘ and with substantial snow already on the ground, we were expecting the couple from Liverpool to be outdoor types. He turned up in a thin fleece type thing, trackie bottoms and trainers, at least his wife had a coat. Day three after the storm hit OH’s mother was having to supply them with food, and he couldn’t believe the police wouldn’t come to dig them out! Another couple who wanted somewhere rural, left after a couple of days as they didn’t expect it to be THAT rural! Just what they were expecting they never said. 🙂 Another left a comment on trip advisor that their dog had escaped through a hole in the fence, but failed to mention it was a hole their dog had created, and that I had to repair. 🤷♂️ Edited January 24, 2021 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windswept Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 This sort of law sounds fine in principle but I do wonder how it would work in practice. I'm a country boy and happy with noises and smells of what I think the country should be like. I actually get disappointed when the sheep aren't in the fields surrounding our house and although a tad worrying I was quite amused by the cows, calves and entire bull that escaped and spend a few weeks in our woodland. However, I'm happy to admit I wouldn't be that impressed if an industrial farm set up right next to me with 24/7 floodlights and a huge slurry pit. Equally I wouldn't site our bee hives right on the edge of our property and expect neighbouring holiday homes to put up with some grumpy bees.

Cumbria. It’s not that bad really. We have a pub, there is another pub with village shop and bakery 1.5 miles away, within an easy walk there and back, and another village with two garages, a train station, an air ambulance base, a village shop PO and another pub 4.2 miles away. I’ve walked to that one also on a few occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’d totally messed up her dates and couldn’t make the following week as she was back at work! She then left a 1 star on trip advisor.

The view is that if you buy a house in the countryside you should put up with the country ways. I think it's a great idea and should introduce it here too. What are your thoughts folks.

Well A. Id not move there B. Id not move there Most people have a choice on where they move, so if people choose to move somewhere they can't then moan about the smell or the noise etc. Of course thats my opinion.

Interesting, I was told by one local council worker that all it took was 1 complaint and then they were required by law to investigate and act?
