...he is now saying he won't go to ABP if I sign a letter in relation to this information.
Our neighbour had given false information in his objections to both the Council and ABP.
The real crux is there is a building literally just over the fence clsoe to our house and owned by the neighbour which has planning permission but for non-agricultural usage - this we only found out a couple of weeks back. The neighbour has consistently specified this building has agricultural planning in all objections over the 4 years we have been going through this but it actually doesn't have the required planning. Not only that but he uses it for agricultural purposes which his planning excludes.
So did your neighbour make any misrepresentations in his submission about your proposed development?
I'd be interested to learn how this turns out, so I'll ask you to consider updating this thread in due course DeBarr.
We were not turned down by ABP specifically in relation to the supposed agricultural building but my view is neighbour has specifically mis-represented the status of the building in all submissions. When I raised the item of planning on his building two weeks ago, and after 4 years of torment from him, he is now nice as pie and suggesting that if I sign a letter that says I recognise the building as "agricultural" then he will not go to ABP and delay us but I don't trust him.
Hi onq
Will do - I guess we have a two week wait to see where it will lead to. We always have to wait until the last day on which submissions are allowed as he always submits on the lst possible day........

The background is as follows:
Neighbour bought house from my in-laws along with a small landholding some years back.
Again did your family sell this building with your neighbour and he assumed he was buying one thing one thing and now you want to have it both ways? You say he bought a small holding, sounds agricultural to me especially if in rural setting.The real crux is there is a building literally just over the fence clsoe to our house and owned by the neighbour which has planning permission but for non-agricultural usage
If you were not turned down by ABP in relation to the issues surrounding this this building, what were the reasons? My guess is that it had to be something more significant in relation to planning, maybe the site was simply not suitable. Also, if your family sold the building, surely you knew what you were selling and what you are building beside....it does not make sense...to me at least. I see more questions than answers here.We were not turned down by ABP specifically in relation to the supposed agricultural building but my view is neighbour has specifically mis-represented the status of the building in all submissions.
I really just want to get on and enjoy my life - I have four kids and want to provide a home for them and not have this "undercurrent" of unpleasantness impact on our lives. My fear however is he has consistently lied to us, mispresented his position at all times and if we give him anything at all he will use it against us in the future e.g. I don't fancy pigs, livestock housed 3 metres from my house - for an agricultural building to be put within 100 metres of our house he needs our agreement according to planning guidelines.
You neighbour bought their small holding property from your family what exactly did they sell your neighbour. Was what was sold misrepresented? Maybe this is the source of your difficulty? Often is.

If something existing has planning then it has planning. It sounds like you want to have your cake and the rest. Sell to your neighbour and then build 3 metres from the building you sold, only to object to it's existance. Not the course to take for a quiet life. Are you totally sure you or your inlaws have not miffed off this neighbour in some other way.
If I was in your neighbour's shoes I'd be suspicious from what I read of your intentions. If you want a quiet life why would you want to build 3 meters from such potential for problems, especially beside a building that has any potential for inductrial or agricultural use?
As mentioned above we were to build well away from this building so there was no issue - both times we got planning but ABP turned it down on foot of the neighbour's objection. It is the pre-existing house we are in now which we have to extend (as our last option to stay in the area) which is 3 metres away from the building.
If I read correctly, you now have this planning permission for this existing building and really don't want it to go to ABP given your past experience in that arena.pre-existing house we are in now which we have to extend (as our last option to stay in the area) which is 3 metres away from the building.
then you should have no problems reassuring your neighbour that you will respect the precise existing planning permission. This undertaking would be in your favour if your neighbour ends up going to ABP which I undertand is your concern.The contract of sale was very clear as to usage as was the planning granted to it when it was built.
