• Next door renovated an entire house including the addition of a loft conversion in late 2020/early 21 which he claims severely impacted his recovery.

    What a dickhead

  • I'm genuinely more sympathetic than that. Despite appearing physically ok he used to be a very good runner but has been reduced to short daily walks, so I certainly don't doubt that the long covid thing is real and that he has genuine symptoms.

    However - planning permission and freeholder faff aside - as the owner of this flat I feel I have the right to go ahead with it, and the expectation of me to simply abandon the whole thing is totally unreasonable.

    I increasingly feel like the onus is on him to find an alternative to being there while work is happening. It's not like the place will become unhabitable, just a bit noisy from 8am to 4pm for a couple of months.

  • His COVID story won't make any difference to the consideration of the planning application.

    Whether someone is Ill and will be pissed off about a proposed development isn't a factor relevant for consideration under the national planning policy framework.
