Neighbours
Hope you can help me.
Since moving in last year, a neighbour built an extension and made some other changes and now won't finish off/tidy his house. The roof of the extension is strewn with old tiles and the gardens back and front now look like a building site.
He is lazy and spends his spare time down the pub. Requests for him to finish the work have fallen on deaf ears.
Can I do anything legally about this??
Thanks

Contrary to the other answers, if land is causing significant detriment to the amenity of the local area, the Council can serve a notice under section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act requiring that they return the site to a satisfactory appearance. However this is only used in extreme cases so your neighbour may not qualify for one.
