Non compliance of a planning permission of a boundary wall

[jthrppel]

Thanks for the suggestions. Original or first planning application did not have the 1.8m block wall option. We objected to that planning application, pointing out that the applicants had encroached into our property and that their property should be contained in the property they own. Their architect put the 1.8m cement block wall to separate their property from ours. This was agreeable to us, since physically separated the two properties. I in all honesty believed that planning decisions are written in stone, if the other party could ignore their own planning line items, then the only recourse may be courts. But no guarantee that I can collect the money from the other party.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

Buy some stakes and steel wire, and mark out your boundary. It shouldn’t take too much away from the look of your fence

@jthrppel

Best, cheapest and quickest approach for the time being is as aristotle mentions above. It quickly puts a stop to your neighbour putting anything onto your land immediately, and if necessary, gives you time to pursue your other avenues.

Move the fence or mark your boundary with another structure ASAP. I would not care if you cannot maintain the other side of it.

Expecting the council to inspect the as built building/works and then enforce compliance with planning irregularities is expecting way too much from under resourced councils.
