Hi folks, am looking for a bit of advice or wisdom on this.
So, I have a carwash next door that does mechanical work etc. Now, given that this car wash tends to just piss water out onto the public foot path with clear effluent in it, you can see the shine of the chemicals off the water going into the public drain every single day - I doubt its got its permissions right.
I've had good relations with them, letting them cut back a tree so a sign could be visible for them etc and things have been decent with them letting me have access to re-render the gable wall of the house etc as it was cracking.
Then I arrive home one day to see they've put up joists across a shed neighbouring me. And are now erecting steel beams to build the supporting structure that looks to me to be about 5 metres high in the air. Just judging it on being well over twice the size of the garden fence on the other side.
I just went in and had it out with them, trying to remain civil of course. It's for a shed to work on vans in. They're talking about steel corrugated roof, and then blocking the wall on my side (out of what they say is to stop dust etc coming in across my garden!!!) None of this was discussed with me and they are saying its a temporary structure and their landlord has approved it. They also just drilled batons directly onto part of the gable to support a smaller shed seen to the left with zero permission asked and after I had extensive work done on it to secure it against damp and water egress.
Attached are views from my side where you can see the structure in the works and being extended out from an existing shed.
I know we have no right to light here and fair enough, but surely this is well out of order with zero thought given to neighbours?
The views here are from ground floor kitchen and then the last one is from the upstairs bathroom frosted window (so its nearly eye level with that window...)

Any advice? I don't want to land in a war with these guys but I think this is probably really taking the piss.
