Сколько метров должно быть от дома до забора соседа по закону в россии: нормы СНиП в СНТ и ИЖС по закону 2019-2020 на садовом участке

на каком можно сажать, нормы посадки кустарников по СНиП и закону, сколько метров отступать по СанПиН

Каждый человек на своем приусадебном участке может сажать любые растения, но обязательно соблюдать правила. При размещении зеленых насаждений в СНТ и ИЖС важно знать, что расстояние от дерева до забора с соседом, согласно нормам СНиП, СП, СанПиН и по закону, составляет от 1 до 4 м. Эти правила учитывают, что оно будет расти, крона может создавать тень, а корни повреждать коммуникации. Поэтому, соблюдая нормальное расстояние от забора до деревьев или кустарников, можно предотвратить конфликтные ситуации.

Около частного дома

Нормы посадки деревьев по отношению к забору соседнего участка

Озеленение садового участка должно проводиться по нормам и правилам, которые предотвращают ситуацию, когда насаждения мешают соседям. В СНТ или ИЖС нужно ответственно подойти к этому вопросу, учитывая, что постепенно насаждения растут, у деревьев будет раскидистая крона, разветвленные корни.

Забор на дачном участке в деревне

Это может вызвать разные проблемы. Нормы посадки деревьев важно соблюдать по нескольким причинам.

1. Разрастаясь, корни больших растений могут повредить ограждение, дорожное покрытие или даже постройки.
2. Высокие деревья закрывают солнце, создавая тень. Участки на даче обычно 6 соток. Очень высокое растение может закрывать его наполовину. Постоянное затенение также опасно для ограждения или других деревянных построек. Оно создает условия для развития сырости, что становится причиной плесени и гнили.
3. Часто вблизи заборов частных домов проходят линии электропередачи. Высокое дерево, касаясь ветвями проводов, создает опасную ситуацию. А если оно будет повалено ураганом, то может оборвать их.
4. Некоторые насаждения своими раскидистыми ветвями создают препятствия для доступа пожарной техники или других автомобилей при возникновении чрезвычайной ситуации.
5. Нужно учитывать, насколько разветвленная корневая система у растения около забора. Корни могут повреждать коммуникации, трубы, затруднять их ремонт или вскапывание участка.
6. Если крона дерева нависает на соседний участок, он будет засоряться листьями, ветками. Фруктовые деревья будут сбрасывать созревшие плоды за соседский забор. Для некоторых это хорошо, но другие соседи будут недовольны, что их придется убирать.

Рядом с дорогой

Учитывать расстояние от деревьев до забора соседа нужно еще и потому, что за растениями будет сложно ухаживать. Плодовые культуры потребуется обрезать, собирать урожай. А с ветвями, нависающими через забор, сделать это будет проблематично.

Сколько метров от забора можно сажать деревья по закону

Расположение деревьев от забора соседа определяется законом. Он одинаков для частного сектора в городе и участков, относящихся к ИЖС или ЖСК. Садоводческие товарищества (СНТ) не могут устанавливать свои нормативы посадки от забора.

В сельской местности

Расчет расстояния ведется от столба дерева. Хотя иногда считается, что лучше это делать от проекции кроны около забора. Например, очертив тень от нее, когда солнце в зените.

Нужно учитывать, насколько разрастутся ветви от ограждения, с какой стороны света располагаются насаждения.

Падающие за забор листья и плоды могут вызвать недовольство соседей, даже если дерево высажено по нормам. Жильцы имеют право удалять ветви, собирать падающие на их участок фрукты.

Чтобы не нарушать закон в ИЖС или СНТ и сохранить добропорядочные отношения с соседями, лучше сажать вдоль забора невысокие деревья, крона которых не раскидистая, а корни не сильно разветвленные.

Отступ от границы участка соседей до кустарника

Вдоль границы, около которой нет дорог или других домов, разрешается высаживать любые деревья. Но нужно выдерживать их расстояние друг от друга, от построек, учитывать, насколько они будут затенять территорию.

Какие законы определяют эти нормы для ИЖС и СНТ

При высадке растений около забора нужно соблюдать свод правил (СП), предписания СНиП (строительных норм и правил), СанПиН и ГОСТов для всех загородных участков. С 2019 года СНТ не существуют, дачи объединены в товарищества, но правила сохранились. Регламентируются они законодательным документом СНиП 30-02-97. Эти нормы действуют в 2020 году.

Нормы расположения забора на участках ИЖС и СНТ по СНиП (СП) и СанПиН

Есть одно уточнение: если сами соседи согласны, чтобы около забора росло высокое дерево, его можно там разместить. Но для этого нужно оформить письменное согласие, чтобы потом не возникло недопонимания. Если не следовать нормам, определяющим минимальное расстояние от деревьев до ограды, это может привести к следующему:

• серьезным конфликтам, ухудшению соседских отношений;
• нарушению закона;
• повреждению построек, коммуникаций;
• причинению вреда растениям.

До участка соседей

Закон точно определяет, на каком расстоянии от забора можно сажать деревья. Нормы определяются по высоте растений, они одинаковы для СНТ, ИЖС и деревенских участков. Определяет расстояние от забора пункт 6.7 СНиП 30-02-97.

Нормативы удаленности от границы участка соседей

Отметим наиболее важное:

1. Деревья высотой от 15 метров, крона у которых раскидистая, сажают дальше 4 м. Это клен, береза, дуб, тополь, хвойные породы. Из плодовых растений такими вырастают яблони и груши.
2. Среднерослые (до 15 м) – можно сажать от 2 м. Это облепиха, слива, абрикос, вишня.
3. Низкорослое карликовое деревце до 2 метров (например, войлочную вишню, кустарники) можно садить на расстоянии от 1 м.

Действующий СП не определяет, какие деревья отнести к высоким, а какие – к низкорослым. Принято считать высокими те, которые вырастают больше 3 м.

Но в конфликтной ситуации каждый случай рассматривается индивидуально.

До дороги

Важно учитывать, сколько метров остается до автомобильной трассы. По нормам СНиП (СП) и СанПиН до нее должно быть от дерева 2 м, а кустарники можно сажать на расстоянии 1 м. Эти правила созданы потому, что, разрастаясь, корни проходят под дорожным покрытием и могут приподнимать его. А нависающие над трассой ветви снижают видимость, затрудняют проезд автотранспорта.

На каком расстоянии до строений

Высокие деревья разрешается высаживать от стен домов, гаража, бани или других построек на расстоянии 4–5 м. Особенно это важно для жилых строений, так как зеленые насаждения создают тень. Это может вызвать гниение, появление плесени.

Удаленность от соседского участка в ИЖС и СНТ

Если насаждения затеняют соседний дом, его жильцы могут подать на владельца в суд. Это важно еще и потому, что сильный ветер может повалить дерево на постройку и повредить ее. А ветви, качаясь, могут разбить окна частного дома.

Для кустарников дистанция может сокращаться до 1,5 м. Причем до подошвы опорных стен должно быть 3 м от дерева и 1 м от куста. До хозяйственных строений, сараев расстояние может уменьшиться до 1 м.

Желательно распланировать участок, перед тем как строить дом, с учетом этих правил. Кроме изучения действующих правил, можно получить разрешение от кадастровых учреждений или других инстанций, которые занимаются этими вопросами.

От коммуникаций

У многих деревьев корни сильно разрастаются, разветвляются. Часто это становится причиной конфликтов с соседями, так как сложно вскопать участок, корни обедняют почву. Но при посадке обязательно нужно знать расположение коммуникаций: труб, проводов. Особенно это важно в городском частном секторе или в деревне.

Расположение построек рядом с частным домом на даче

Существуют такие нормы СНиП:

• удаленность до труб водопровода, канализации, теплокоммуникаций не менее 2 м от деревьев, 1 м от кустов;
• до кабеля связи тоже 2 м, а от кустов – 70 см;
• до линий электропередачи – 1,5 м;
• от дорожек – 0,7–1,5 м.

Эти правила относятся к обычным зеленым насаждениям. Но есть несколько деревьев, у которых корни очень разветвленные и сильные. Это ясень, бук, акация, тополь. Если их сажают, то вокруг них на расстоянии 4 м ничего не должно быть ни под землей, ни на поверхности.

Чтобы распланировать посадку растений и кустарников, лучше воспользоваться таблицей, составленной по действующим законам.

Объект	Расстояние (м)
	До деревьев	До кустов
Стены строений	5	1,5
Подошва подпорных стен	3	1
Канавы, кюветы	2	1
Дорожки	0,7–1,5	0,5–0,7
Ограждения	4	1–1,5
Дорога	2	1
Линии электропередачи	1,5–2	–
Газопровод, канализация	1,5	–
Водопровод, теплосети	2	1
Силовой кабель, связь	2	0,7

Особенности посадки

Дачный участок должен выглядеть красиво. Кроме плодовых культур, на нем растут другие деревья. Украсить его около ограждения можно с помощью березы, ели. Желательно такие растения посадить вдоль границы или проезжей части. Они украсят территорию, защитят от посторонних взглядов и проникновения пыли.

При размещении растений нужно выдерживать между ними определенное расстояние. Корням должно хватать питательных веществ. Поэтому частая посадка нежелательна. Между деревьями нужно оставлять пространство 1–4 м.

Расстояние определяется в зависимости от вида растения, его высоты.

Особенно это необходимо учитывать для плодовых культур, так как их урожайность зависит от места посадки. Растения одного вида будут конкурировать за воду, минеральные вещества из почвы. Поэтому между ними должно быть 3–5 м. Между кустами можно оставлять 1–1,5 м.

Сосны и ели в лесу

Нормы размещения зеленых насаждений около забора учитывают интересы всех жильцов как в СНТ, так и в ИЖС. Их соблюдение позволяет избежать конфликтов. Чтобы отдыхать на дачном участке или спокойно жить в деревне, нужно соблюдать СНиП и СП.

90000 Putin proposes major amendments to Russia’s constitution incl. about his own post, says people should vote on changes — RT Russia News 90001 90002 The constitution should take priority over international law if the latter violates the rights of Russian citizens or violates Russia’s constitutional principles, President Vladimir Putin has proposed. 90003 90002 Amendments to the constitution could be put to a popular vote to ensure 90005 «the development of Russia as a welfare and rule-of-law state,» 90006 the Russian leader said in his annual state of the nation address.90003 90002 Adopting a brand new constitution is not necessary because the current one will remain relevant for many years to come, Putin explained. But he did suggest some changes he’d like to see. 90003 90010 Domestic v international law in Russia 90011 90002 One of the key issues Putin outlined was that Russia should abide by international law only if it does not conflict with the constitution. Adopted back in 1993, it should serve as a primary source 90005 «in our legal environment,» 90006 he stated.90003 Also on rt.com Constitutional Court rules Russian law above European HR Court decisions 90002 International agreements and treaties, as well as decisions by international bodies may apply in Russia 90005 «only to the extent that they do not entail restrictions on the rights and freedoms of people and citizens, and do not contradict our constitution.» 90006 90003 90010 Stricter requirements for top officials 90011 90002 The president then suggested stricter profiling of the top political brass, starting with presidential candidates and going all the way down.90003 90002 An amended constitution would include compulsory requirements for 90005 «persons holding positions crucial for ensuring the country’s security and sovereignty,» 90006 including the prime minister, cabinet members, governors, heads of federal agencies, MPs, and judges. 90003 90002 They should be barred from having foreign citizenship or residence permits for other nations, Putin proposed. 90003 90002 Anyone willing to run for president will be subject to 90005 «even more stringent requirements.»90006 Aside from the absence of foreign citizenship 90005» not only during elections, but also at any time earlier, «90006 a candidate must have lived in Russia for at least 25 years as opposed to the current 10 years. 90003 Also on rt.com Five nuclear-armed states must work together to neutralize threat of ‘global war’ — Putin 90010 Limits on presidential terms remain in place 90011 90002 Putin, who got re-elected in 2018, also took aim at the duration of the presidential tenure.90003 90002 90005 «I know there’s a debate in our society regarding a constitutional provision that the same person shall not hold the position of the president of Russian Federation for more than two consecutive terms,» ​​90006 he acknowledged. 90005 «I do not think this is a fundamental issue, but I agree with that.» 90006 90003 90002 Meanwhile, Russia’s Central Election Commission signaled a popular vote could be held as early as 2020. 90005 «If everything is solved quickly, this may happen this year,» 90006 the body’s secretary Maya Grishina said, according to Sputnik.90003 90002 90051 90005 Think your friends would be interested?

From time to time, each and every one of us will have to repair or replace things on our property which might require ourselves or workers carrying out work on our behalf to gain access to our neighbour’s land in order to resolve the problem.90003 90002 Generally, it’s a simple matter of letting your neighbour know what work you’re intending to carry out and to ask their permission if you can Gain Access Their Land and in order to conduct the work and to arrange a suitable time. Nevertheless, disputes can arise or you might just not get on with your neighbour, and both of these issues can make it difficult to carry out the work. 90003 90002 However, the Access to Neighbouring Land Act тисячі дев’ятсот дев’яносто дві can facilitate matters in some cases, if you need to resort to a more formal solution.Therefore, it’s good to know your rights with regard to this matter, what the Act covers and, often more crucially, what it does not. 90003 90008 Your Rights 90009 In order to grant an access order the court must be convinced that the reasons you need to gain access to a neighbour’s land, if they have been flatly refused permission, are valid as contained within the Act. Valid reasons for granting an access order would include: 90010 90011 The maintenance, renovation or repair of a property (or parts of it) in order to preserve it 90012 90011 The clearing or repair of any sewers, drains, cables or pipes 90012 90011 The removal or filling in of a ditch 90012 90011 The felling of a tree, plant or hedge (or parts of it) which have died, become diseased or which have become insecurely rooted and unstable which is likely to pose a danger 90012 90019 90002 The basic interpretation of the law here is that the work must relate to the ‘preservation’ of an existing structure as opposed to granting permission to gain access to a neighbour’s land in order to make it easier to construct a new development, such as a new conservatory or extension.90003 90002 Therefore, even if you have been granted planning permission for a ‘new build’, this does NOT mean that you can automatically gain access to a neighbour’s land if parts of the work need to be carried out from their side of the Boundary Line . That is not covered by the Act and any such work in this instance would have to be agreed to by both you and your neighbours themselves. 90003 90008 Exceptions To Granting Access 90009 In some cases, the courts can refuse to grant an access order if they decide that in doing so, it could cause severe hardship to your neighbour or land owner, or that it would significantly reduce their capacity for enjoying their own land.90002 If an access order is agreed to by the courts, it must then specify exactly the work which needs to be carried out, the date work will commence and the date it must be completed by. Obviously, if the date is not suitable to your neighbour, they can request an alternative date. It would also be your responsibility to pay any compensation to the landowner, i.e. your neighbour, should they incur any financial loss, or put right any incidental damage that might result to their land or property as a result of the work you’re having carried out.90003 90002 You might also like … 90003 90002 Share Your Story, Join the Discussion or Seek Advice .. 90003 Neighbour has had a new outside telephone wire strung from the main pole.

If I want to get to my back garden from the front, to cut the grass, I go down the communal path that goes through the upstairs neighbours garden to get to my back gate.Unfortunately, I no longer get on with my neighbours, they are extremely noisy, verbally abusive and harass me and my son, we’re both disabled. Now, them and my housing association are trying to say it’s NOT a communal path and the housing officer is trying to say a previous tenant put the back gate leading to my garden there! My other neighbour has the same set up and so do the neighbours down the road. Hence, I’m not allowed to use the gate and I’m expected to put up with a lawnmower being dragged through my property from back to front!

Having failedto directly contacted the developer i took the estate agents word that i could remove the dangerous hawthorn hedge andmaintain the lawn preventing theland from becoming over-run with rodents (we back onto farmland and i have already dealt with an infestation).having sold the property next door (with the layaway land still owed by speculating developer) i have been issued with a trespass order and been instructed to pay damages of £ 500. The boundary line is mine and the existing 4 foot wire fence was intwine in the hedgerow.I have cut down the hedge (roots still in place and growing). I have also been requested to erect a 6 foot fence. The bush was never 6 foot and with a garden looking out onto country side, i do not wish to erect such a fence. I have also been asked if i object to them putting up a 6 foot fence (which i do) Ultimately all i would like, is to replace the hedge in time and continue to keep the grass low preventing vermin.could this act be my answer to being able to maintain a lawn? 90002 jb — 1-May-20 @ 5:12 PM 90003 We have a fence at the back of our garden, was built by the developer of our property. Before that we do not have fence kind of boundary between the neighbour and our land. I asked the neighbour to pay for post and fences. They answered they only need to keep the boundary and well maintain it .they said by law they do not have to put fence on, so that is why their hedge and trees there.They mean their huge tree and the overflowing bushes, weeds are their boundary what they have to maintain. My question is if we replace the fences can I force them to keep clean from the overflowing weeds every year (they have grown on our current fence) of their side of my fence? Do I need to ask access and permission now if I destroy the old fences (I not need enter their land as I can do it from mine by taking off each fence)? Can I leave the weeds which were growing on our fences in their land? They are not nice to us so to be honest if I am allowed to do it so as they come from them (although they say they keep it tidy every year, but never saw them to Tidy it, I will take picture) I am more than happy just do it and leave the weeds under their trees !!!! I am sure in future they will grow back if we do not maintain regularly! Can I force them to do it and clean it as it is my fence by their opinion too?

He threatened to replace the gate with a permanent fence to stop our access if we do not ASK him. 1) Aside from neighbourliness and courtesy, if we have the right of way / access, do we need to ASK him each time we needed access? Asking implies he may refuse permission which he can not.2) The next door neighbour’s shrubs and trees now block light from coming into our gable end windows (into lounge on ground floor & into bedroom on the top floor). what are our rights? Thank you. 90002 Adil — 9-Mar-20 @ 1:09 PM 90003 My neighbour at the back of our property has a large weeping willow tree on their land which overhangs our garden. For the last few years every time there is high winds, we have branches come down on our side.We have asked the neighbour to take this tree down due to risk of injury from falling brances however they have refused however told us that we can take the tree down ourselves if we want to and pay for it. We have taken a few of the overhanging branches off however this is a massive tree and it is not possible to reach to cut back the overhanging branches. In the recent wind a big branch had fallen on our side and it is still attached to the main trunk. We have informed the neighbour of this and they have agreed to deal with it however they are not agreeing to cutting down the tree.We love weeping willow tree however do not feel it belong in a suburban garden the size of ours and it is too unsafe as they break easily in high winds. What I would like to know is what is our rights and is there anything we can do to make then take this tree out. 90002 Sarah — 21-Feb-20 @ 12:00 PM 90003 Purchased a house 2 years ago with a section of the front garden being retained by the owner to build a bungalow (had planning permission) Last month the seller came by for us to sign party wall agreement, which we did.Ever since buying our house we have been promised that should he decide to sell this small plot we would get first refusal. We now find out he has sold the plot to a local builder who plans to start work next week. We are furious and do not want to help the builder who is really going to struggle without us letting him use part of our boundary for access and scaffold, storage etc. What are our rights about refusing?

In fact, any area of ​​a property or the surrounding land or garden is susceptible if it provides food, warmth and shelter. 90003 90004 Dealing with Rats 90005 Rats need to be controlled as they can transmit disease to humans including Weil’s disease and Salmonella poisoning.In a house, they will take up residence under floorboards, in lofts, in wall cavities and in cellars. Although we mostly associate them with living in sewers, they can also survive in your garden, living in and beneath sheds and by burrowing into compost heaps. 90004 Preventative Measures 90005 Basic housekeeping and cleanliness is your best defence against rat infestation. Ensure that your backyard or garden is well maintained with any overgrown areas cut back to restrict rats ‘potential nesting sites.Also, remember that if you enjoy putting food out to attract the likes of birds, hedgehogs or squirrels, you’re also encouraging the likes of rats and mice, too. 90002 So, while not suggesting you stop providing food for other wildlife, make sure you do not put food out to excess. Also, make sure that your household rubbish is disposed of properly and in a secure manner. It’s important that your house is kept in good repair to reduce the opportunity for rats to get inside from an external vantage point.Also, avoiding an Overgrown Garden will help to restrict areas where rodents can find shelter. 90003 90004 Getting Rid of Rats 90005 If your home or gardens become infested with rats, contact your local authority’s environmental health department. They will send out a pest control officer to survey the scene, put down poison in appropriate locations, and make follow-up visits to ensure that the problem has been rectified. 90004 Dealing with Mice 90005 Mice are also fond of similar locations to rats when it comes to looking for food, warmth and shelter.Not all local authorities will offer a free service to get rid of mice infestation, so it may be down to you as the householder to deal with the problem yourself. You should do this quickly as mice can severely damage cables and insulation. 90002 Mouse poison and mouse traps offer the best solution and your local garden centre or hardware store will be able to offer you advice. So too will your environmental health department, even if they do not offer a service to remove them. However, if you have young children and / or pets, it’s important you seek proper advice before using any rodent poison or pesticides.90003 90004 Dealing with Bees and Wasps 90005 While most of us will have some fear of bees and wasps, the important thing to remember is that, for the most part, both of these play an important role in the ecological balance of gardens. Therefore, if you come across a wasps or bees nest in your garden, providing it is not too close to where humans would come into contact with it, you should leave it alone. 90002 However, in certain situations where a nest is in close proximity to where people come and go, or if it has actually been built somewhere on the property itself, it may be necessary to have it removed.You can do this yourself providing you know what you’re doing and take adequate precautions and wear protective clothing. But it might be preferable to seek out the services of a pest control company. Alternatively, your local authority may offer you this service, although it’s more likely they’d charge you for it. 90003 90004 Problems with Neighbours 90005 If you suspect that your neighbours might be responsible for attracting creatures that can cause infestation, you should try to have a polite word with them.For example, if their house is badly maintained, they do not take enough care in how they dispose of their rubbish or their gardens are overgrown, all of these things might encourage the likes of rats and mice to the area in which you live, even if your house is not the direct cause of the problem. If your neighbours fail to take remedial action and the problem persists, then you have every right to report this to your local authority. 90004 Other Problems 90005 There are many other problems that can result in infestation.Pigeons, foxes, fleas, ants, cockroaches, squirrels and even bed bugs are just some of the issues that you could be faced with. If you have any problems that you’re not sure how to tackle, your local environmental health department alongside the likes of garden centres and hardware stores should be sufficient to provide you with all the advice you need. 90002 You might also like … 90003 90002 Share Your Story, Join the Discussion or Seek Advice .. 90003 Yes where I live massive rat problem to had the pest controler out several times and my landlord to.I’ve cold the environmental health team 3 times in recent months.

Neighbour is friendly but useless and does not care even when he’s caught a rat in his kitchen! 90002 RB — 13-May-20 @ 4:07 PM 90003 I live in a Victorian terraced house in London.My neighbour who lives in the top floor flat with no garden decided to place a compost bin in their small front garden. There is now a rat infestation beside the bin. I see tame rats wandering around my front garden and theirsI have lived in my house for 20 and never seen this.She has now gone away and has left me and neighbours in same house to deal with this awful mess. We have asked her nicely if we can remove the bin. She has refused and is completely stubborn and selfish. I have contacted the council I am hoping they will be with us tomorrow.I want to know if we can remove the bin without her agreeing as it is a health hazard? I am hoping when the council will agree it has to be removed. Can anyone assist with this? I am so distressed with everything else that’s going on right now. Many thanks 90002 Jane — 25-Mar-20 @ 11:58 PM 90003 I have just noticed this week im finding mice and rats running around my garden .. today i have found out that my next door neighbor’shas just gathered up black bags in their garden for yrs.. im so scared as we have 2 dogs and im worried we keep our house and garden clean.

I live in a council house and one of my neighbours have for three years now (apparently its been happening for longer than that) been throwing food waste and open big bags outside. Furniture, carpet you name it; it’s there. She has been constantly told off by the council they come in and clean it and then nothing is done for months while she carries on the same behaviour. And from all of this mess she is constantly creating all of my neighbours including me now have our gardens infested with rats.The council said that they are moving her soon so this wont happen again. But this has been going on for years now and nothing has been done by the council to help any of the neighbours. We all need some advice on what we can do to get the council to act and clean up her garden and house as well as our gardens because all of the rat poison we are paying to the council does nothing. Im this close to going to the local paper with this story because it is so unbearable now. 90002 meg — 6-May-19 @ 5:37 PM 90003 My mom owns her own terraced home our garden is lies back on to the neighbour who lives two doors down at the moment the house is empty and run down we do not know who owns the propertyrubbish outside back door garden over grown risbbish dumped there knocking wall down easy access for intruders haven for mice and rats.there has been cannabis grown looking at the rubbish dumped outside which can be seen from my mother’s bedroom teenagers broke into the property in the week what can I do please help 90002 Tracey anne arrowsmi — 22-Mar-19 @ 10:49 AM 90003 Neighbour has mattress’s stacked up fencing adjoining our house, these have been there for a number of years now but smells awful in summer months.

She appears outside in public seminaked and is harassing my family and myself in her car and has now installed a cctv camera which she directs across our property. We have reported all of these issues to the council, police, her housing association, Ico, and have made contact with local councillors.None will address this problem. She has a previous history of all of the things which we have been reporting, and still these bodies of authorities do nothing. She has now served us with an injunction, which we successfully had disqualified, but are now in the process ofcourt proceedings which she has submitted a claim for us harassing her.

We bought the house two years ago and due to the large amount of trees and bushes bordering our property, we could not see our boundary wall. This spring / summer we have decided to clear the trees and bushes, claim back the garden up to the boundary wall, which has gained us at least 2 meters of garden. Between our boundary wall and the council properties is a kind of no-mans land before the fences start for the council properties.When we cleared the trees enough to see over the wall, which is only about a meter high, we could see that the no-mans land was full of junk. Easily identifiable items such as old decking, kitchen units, children’s out door toys such as bikes, were piled up on top of bricks, soil — all sorts. This is all piled up against our wall up to the top of it! So I am sure you can imagine how much rubbish is there. We took photographs and emailed them to our local (Green Party!) Council who said there was nothing they could do about it as we are private home owners and they can not clear it on our behalf, unless we knew who was responsible.We think that it is pretty clear who is responsible for the mess and though we may be private home owners, we do pay our Council Tax — surely that must count for something when council tenants have been dumping their waste over their garden fence. Since then, we have found out who it is. We asked the owners of the houses if they knew anything about it and one put their hands up straight away and admitted it was them and that they had simply been to lazy to take it to the local tip! Talking with them, they do not seem to think that it is a problem as it is not ‘rubbish-rubbish’, whatever that means and they have said that they’ll cover it all with soil to bury it so it can ‘ t be seen and they do not have to deal with it! It is used as a toilet by most of the local cats (we’ll return to those later) and we’re sure foxes as it stinks, especially in this heat we’ve been having.While we have not seen any rats, we have seen mice. Now that we have uncovered the wall at our boundary, it is not particularly well built and a bit unsightly, so we would like to take it down and put new fences up. As mentioned, the dump is up against this wall, so if we remove it put the fence up, we will have to deal with it — how is that fair? A question the local (Green Party!) Council have not answered. We phoned the council help line to do with fly tipping and they gave us the email address for Estate Services and that is who we emailed the photos to.As they said they could not do anything about it, we asked them to provide us with details of someone who could and we have had no response on that. Earlier I mentioned the cats use the dump as a toilet? Well, they also use our garden. Every week we pick up bag fulls of cat crap — w 90002 Beetee — 17-Jul-18 @ 8:50 PM 90003 I work in my local Asda and have done for several years, for the past 6-8 months at least there have been rats galore all over the warehouse chewing there way through stock that has been delivered that day.Us as employees are still expected to carry on work as normal pulling in pallets of stock from the infested area on to the shop floor to be put out for customers. Nearly every pallet pulled in has clear evidence of rats having chewed their way through packs of biscuits, cereals, sweets, basically anything that smells good. As we all know rats carry disease and not to mention the fact they urinate as they go and there is evidence of this on the stock we have to work. There are traps and pest control are apparently ‘on It’s but the situation is getting worse and it’s a matter of time before they find there way onto the shop floor! I am concerned that I may catch something as I’m touching and moving boxes of stock that have clearly been rat damaged and management do not seem to be bothered.Myself and colleagues have had enough something needs to be done. 90002 Len — 17-Feb-18 @ 8:39 PM 90003 90002 CP — Your Question: 90003 90002 I have been living next to a neighbour who hates cleaning and a result there is always a strong odour coming from her unit.

Yesterday I opened my front door and the carpet outside the offending unit was covered in 100s of maggots, and some found outside our door.I have brought this to the attention of our body corporate, but the person responsible is the chairperson and has friends on the committee.

We have recently seen a rat in our garden and think it may have come under the fence. What can we do? Our neighbours do not speak to us, and never have in the 18months we have lived here, we did try when we first came and were ignored. 90002 Frini — 22-Apr-17 @ 2:12 PM 90003 90002 Title: 90003 Miss Ms Mrs Mr Dr Rev’d Prof. Other 90002 (never shown) 90003 90002 Validate: 90003 .90000 12 Good Reasons to Get to Know Your Neighbors 90001 90002 90003 90004 90002 Some people are very fortunate to have great neighbors that they interact with every day. I happen to be lucky in that area. There are for owners in my particular area of ​​the building, and we all like each other and get along really good. We are part of a bigger complex (2 buildings total), and there is an HOA involved with the management of the property. I shared some of my experience with our HOA in this post: Belong to an HOA? Dude, I Feel Your Pain.How to Cope … 90004 90002 If we did not live in a condo I doubt we’d know many of our neighbors. Most of our friends do not know their neighbors. I do not know about you but it seems so easy to just stay in a little bubble and not interact with people much. A sign of the times, maybe? When I was a kid growing in Newport News, Virginia, we knew all of our neighbors and hung out with them ALL THE TIME. It was fun, and helped build a sense of community. 90004 90002 If you’re one of the many you also has no idea who their neighbors are, I would like to suggest some benefits of befriending them.90004 90002 90012 Here are 12 reasons why it can be highly beneficial (and financially-wise) to introduce yourself around your neighborhood and get to know your neighbors: 90013 90004 90002 90012 1. Peaceful Living 90013 90004 90002 It can be far more peaceful to live among neighbors that like and respect each other, especially when they’re living in close proximity. Respectful neighbors are less likely to invade your space, be loud and rowdy, and make overall daily life stressful. 90004 90002 90012 2.Safety First 90013 90004 90002 Good neighbors watch out for each other and their property. Living in a proactive neighborhood can increase your family’s safety, as multiple sets of eyes and ears can help thwart criminal activity and promote a safer area. It’s really nice to be able to give the neighbors a heads-up that you’re going to be out-of-town, and be able to say «hey, can you keep an eye on our place?» That’s an added level of security to have real-live eyes and ears looking out for you and your property.90004 90002 90012 3. Back Up Supplies 90013 90004 90002 There’s the old cliché about neighbors and a borrowed cup of sugar. It really is convenient to have someone close by who can help you out when you need to finish dinner or borrow a shovel. We’ve recently had a mouse (! It scared the crap out of me!) Running around our place, and we’ve joked that we want to borrow our neighbors cats to chase the mouse away. Hey, you never know when you’ll need to borrow a cup of sugar or a cat .;) 90004 90002 90012 4.Joint Ventures 90013 90004 90002 If your neighbors live close by, you can join forces to beautify and build connections in the neighborhood. Plant a mutual garden, coordinate flower colors, or host a multi-family yard sale together. Share lawn mowing responsibilities or other chores around the homestead. 90004 90002 90012 5. Family Camaraderie 90013 90004 90002 Neighborhood get-togethers can be a lot of fun and super convenient since everyone lives close by. Neighborhood kids have other kids to play with and a safe environment to be active.We have some really fun neighbors. One couple has a 15th party every month. So, no matter what day of the week the 15th falls on they have a get together. Another time our neighbors had a «roaming» party. Everyone opened their door to our common stairwell, invited friends over, and the guests were able to go to all the units to enjoy appetizers and drinks. Our building was built in 1907 and each unit has similiar features but they’re all just a little different so it makes it fun to see each other’s homes.The get-togethers and parties definitley add to a family feeling in our building. 90004 90002 90012 6. Family Support 90013 90004 90002 Neighbors are often very supportive of each other’s family needs, especially where the kids are concerned. Good neighbors can be helpful for emergency childcare and generally keeping a lookout for safety. Our sweet downstairs neighbor has come up to watch Henry on short notice. She’s like a sweet grandma figure to him. Our other neighbors have also helped us out with Henry on occasion when we’re in a bind.Especially since we do not have family in town I can not tell you how awesome it’s been to have such have good relationships with the neighbors! 90004 90002 90012 7. Vacation Help 90013 90004 90002 Good neighbors can be especially helpful when you are away from home. They can keep an eye on your property, take in your mail, and walk your dog. Since we wake up early with Henry, and do not travel as much as we used to we often look after and feed our 2 different neighbors cats when they are out-of-town.It’s super easy for us to do, saves them money (and time) on taking their animals to a pet hotel, and then the kitties get to stay in their home and be comfortable. 90004 90002 90012 8. Social Circle 90013 90004 90002 Some neighborhoods thrive on over-the-fence conversations each day. Having someone close by to socialize with can create wonderful friendships that may not have otherwise happened. Now that the weather is warm a lot of the neighbors will sit on the stoop out front and talk. It’s a real Melrose Place type of situation, and it’s fun to catch up with everyone.90004 90002 90012 9. Good Advisors 90013 90004 90002 Just like Wilson on the TV show Home Improvement (whoa, I’m really aging myself with these references today! 90’s kid much ?;), neighbors can be a source of good advice and are conveniently located when you need some guidance. 90004 90002 90012 10. Business Networking 90013 90004 90002 Your neighborhood connections can be a positive for your career. Your neighbors have friends and family of their own and can be instrumental in helping you promote your business or find the contacts you need for successful business connections.Many times in business it truly is who you know. 90004 90002 90012 11. Errand Help 90013 90004 90002 Many neighbors enjoy helping each other out and are happy to pick up some groceries, stop at the post office, or pick up your dry cleaning while they are on their own errand runs. 90004 90002 90012 12. Source of Help 90013 90004 90002 If you are ever laid up due to an injury or an illness, a kind next-door neighbor can be a great source of help during your recovery. They are close by for assistance when you need it most.After my c-section with Henry our neighbors brought over treats and food, and they really were kind and helpful during a stressful time. It was nice to know they were understanding of our situation. 90004 90002 90004 90002 90090 90012 Do you know your neighbors? How have you helped your neighbors / how have they helped you that has had (intended or not) financial benefits? 90013 90093 90004.
