The engineer Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 Just dismantled and brought loft to my allotment only to be told by the house nearby i could not have pigeons within 10 yards of her property. Just what i needed after a full day. She claims she does not want rats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now trying to resite it the worst of it she wateched me building the foundations for 2 days without saying anything. 24 years serving in the army having been to every conflict /war since Kosovo in 1999 i am now told i can't have it were i want it. To make things even worse she is a council tenant and does not even own the bloody house...

The engineer Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 That was my first thought then the wife advised calm

geordie1234 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 That was my first thought then the wife advised calmI had a lady over the back from me ask what i was building when i was erecting my loft because she said it was too high then i clearly pointed out it was the same height as my next door neighbours shed and she was like but its a pigeon loft and i dont want pigeons next to me becasue they would crap on her washing so i told her they dnt sht in flight and she was like do you not need permission and i said ive got it which i havent and she was like im going to check it out though that was a month ago and not herd a word! So somethime ppl are just busy bodies

OLDYELLOW Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Just dismantled and brought loft to my allotment only to be told by the house nearby i could not have pigeons within 10 yards of her property. Just what i needed after a full day. She claims she does not want rats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now trying to resite it the worst of it she watched me building the foundations for 2 days without saying anything. 24 years serving in the army having been to every conflict /war since Kosovo in 1999 i am now told i can't have it were i want it. To make things even worse she is a council tenant and does not even own the bloody house...check your allotment permissions , as long as 1 meter away from her house boundary cant see what she can do , if in doubt contact your local planning office
