Dooheed 5 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 If i was to start with pigeons in my back garden do i need planning permmisonBest thing I did beforehand was talk to my neighbors and explain things and dispel myths about pigeons because 9 out of 10 people see them as vermin that sh@te everywhere !! Also helps is ye get on with them !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 put your loft up then leave it for a few weeks without pigeons then you will see if any one complains at the end of the day your paying a morgage or rent then they cant do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I wouldn't contact the council for starters ... certainly not a wise move. Unknowing ones ascertaining guesses lol. Trying to impress and spout rubbish... but making a rod for your back. Great case in Leicester a while back how a fellow battled with the council who kept coming back with other arguments ... High court over them and gave him costs and then some. Just put a loft up. Has to be a little from the back door -- or front lol - a metre or so I think, but don't quote that. and not about 8 foot high. Some get away with 12 foot high, but then who really cares? No one. Plus remember that they are classed as live stock and as such no hosepipe ban is relevant lol. Good post from Johnc, and remember too that if renting then legal you own the house whilst doing so ... so no rules can vary from Owner to renter!
