He's put up bird nesting boxes. Its not a boundary for his garden. Oddly enough,we found a path that goes round the back of the
Garages,we didn't know it was there,with a gate at the end of his garden,am assuming for maintenance. It is completely overgrown with huge brambles. not fussed about that, because if it was cleared folk could access our garage window, although interesting he kept quiet about it. The only thing past this wall,is an electricity sub station. So we have no access to this wall,but he can reach it by leaning through his garden.No, parking actually on someone's drive,you can't move the vehicle,it's not a police matter,says you have to contact your local authority.Hello Valerie, have had many years of various agrevation with this individual, because of various things he's said,done,not done, have always bitten my tongue. Last year we did actually decide we were going to move,but that's easier said than done. Some of the things might not seem like much to some. He had parties during lockdown,I looked the other way on that,was very sarcastic about me wearing a mask. Has given me varied nicknames to my face, hubby says it's banter,but he's taken the Micky out of disabilities that I have had.
I understand you are upset but a few bird boxes won’t do any damage surely? Think of the pleasure you will get if they become occupied. I absolutely loathe the fence my neighbours have put up, dark grey steel, I wanted to cry but now I am planning to screen it with poles and wire and cover it with climbers. No point falling out with him if you can avoid it.
I would double check your deeds just in case those brambles are your fault and you're supposed to be maintaining that ground. Not that I've got anything against brambles personally. The thing to watch with bird boxes is that they do limit the time of year when you can maintain the garage. It'll probably never be a problem but you never know.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Wild edges, the brambles are in his garden,you wouldn't believe how massive they are! We can't maintain the garage we can't access it via the back. Only the up and over door. We won't get any pleasure from the nesting boxes,not from our garden. It's just the principal,it's not his garage,he's got plenty of places he could put them in his garden. Seems like just another straw.
He's got a ruddy great PIR light bang outside our kitchen window. Our place is open plan (bungalow) we have to keep the bedroom door open at night so our old dog can get out to the toilet. It wakes you up,it's like Gatwick. I wanted to speak to him about that. A friend suggested I put a bit of thick cardboard up against the window, at night.My kitchen is already north facing, the window was blocked up I was so pleased to discover it,it lets light in during the day. I would have to climb up on a step ladder, remove the pots from the window sill Every night to wedge a bit of cardboard there
@Nanny Beach it does sound as if you have more than one problem with your neighbour. Have a word with your solicitor relative and at least see if you can find out what can be realistically done if anything.
Are you certain that the garage wall doesn't form a boundary wall? Because, if it does, and the neighbours garden has that wall as part of the boundary they may well have the right to fix things to it. If you can show that it is entirely within your garden then the neighbour has no right to fix anything to it without your express permission.
That's not the point though is it if you don't mind me saying the neighbour shouldn't touch your property without asking, my neighbour screwed a hanging basket to my very wobbly fence which blew down in the last gales, when I tried to pull the fence post up I was amazed how heavy the hanging basket was, when the neighbour said the other day "what's happened here then" I said "the wind blew the fence down" (doh) so when he asked whether I was going to put a new one up I said "no I can't afford to buy a new fence If I can get some old pallets I'll have a go", he won't put one up his side even though it's his fence line. I'll wait until he says something no doubt he will have some bar room legal advice, that seems to be his style.
It's not worth the aggro of upsetting your neighbour over this tbh.
Get a blackout roller blind to deal with the PIR issue. Or maybe see if you can screen off between the sensor and where your dog goes out for his business.

Or maybe I'm just dumb
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
