Cheers, I wasn't aware of the 10 day letter.
My issue though is that no-one will even respond to let me know who the notice should go to. I suspect sending it to the Mayor and Burgesses (as named on the title deed) will be a guarantee of nothing happening.
The absolute incompetence of the council makes me fear that I'm going to have to delay the build because no-one has the courtesy to respond to emails or calls.

that's the point of the act. it is an enabling act that allows you to get shit done, even in the face of unresponsive/difficult neighbours. if you sent the correct notices and letters, after a month you can just appoint a surveyor under s10.4 and crack on.

you need to make sure your notices are in order.
you issue a correct notice, they have 14 days to respond. if no response, a dispute is deemed to have arisen and you sent them a '10 day letter' which gives them 10 days to appoint a surveyor. if they do not, you need to appoint one on their behalf.
if you do not get this right, the whole process is invalid and they can injunct.
