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.
What a dickhead
