the first time I managed to speak to the bloke he basically told me his dad would be in touch
I don't know why you're trying to make that out as a bit weird, it's what I always say when people speak to me.

the guy who bought the house next door to my parents told them he was going to demolish and rebuild, he said i know you wont like it so what i 'll do is i 'll bring my architect round one tea time and we ll sit down and draw the plans for the new house together. they did the guy built it agreeing not to start before 9 and be finished by 5 and not work at weekends
everybody all loved up, top bloke he goes on 'safari' for 3 months every year building schools digging wells etc..Posted 6 months ago # -
i can't believe that the op actually thinks that they may have done something wrong.
it's all further proof of the mass, introspective, soul searching nightmare that the whole forum seems to have descended into.
it's the curse of cressers i reckon. we're all doomed to a life of inward looking, guilt ridden angst.

Me neither. Which leaves the most likely reason for posting as a need for attention and approbation from a bunch of strangers on the internet.

If you ask me (and I know you didn't) there's not enough soul-searching or introspection on here. Most of the posters on that M5 crash thread (for example) seem to have gone straight from impulse to keyboard without any thought or empathy being injected into the process.

A lady moved in next door and immediately submitted plans for a hefty extension which would have cast a fair shadow on my place and seemed a bit too large. I went round had a chat explained my objections and she changed her plans to make it a little smaller and less high.
We are now good friends and she is a lovely person who I hold in high regard.Your neighbour on the other hand sounds like a penis.

i have been in my present house for 14yrs. seen off 5 sets of neighbours......
to the OP, dont worry about it man..........

The neighbour is either odd or devious. Is it possible he thinks he's letting the OP think he's 'won' (even if the OP doesn't think of it like that) with a plan to either (a) start the building anyway or (b) slip in new plans with a minor amendment.
Also, if the planning permission has been granted, won't this be relevant to the sale of the house? So any new buyer may well feel, not unreasonably, that they can move in and start building to the approved plan.

I wonder what caused the initial rift?
The Op posted a note about the alarm going off. Believe me thats all it would take with some people.

you obviously haven't tried hard enough to make a connection with him,
have you thought about kicking his back door in* and then introducing yourself*on the house that is, anything else will certainly surprise him

Petrol bomb through his window. Doing him a favour as a) He will save on removal costs if all he has left are the clothes he stands in. b) No stuff left to remind him of the unhappy period living next to you. c)Convince him he has made the right decision to ship out. Win,win,win situation IMO.

We have one neighbour in our street who moved in and when invited by another neighbour for a 'meet the neighbours' drink just said 'No' and closed the door. They've just done the same trick of starting an extension and then demanding their immediate neighbour sign the party wall agreement with no consent, no advanced notice, no polite chit chat.
Really don't get it - I know all my other neighbours by name, we chat, water plants / look after cats, borrow lawn mowers etc - really quite sociable (for the South East)...

neighbours on one side are ace. on the other though, from conversations overheard in the garden they seem nice, but they wont open the door to us, even if we know they are in.
We need to do some minor work, but work that is required. pointing, filling in holes in the loft space wall to meet fire regs, and rebuilding our (shared) front wall, which is literally held up by magic, but is at a bus stop, and could easily fall on someone.
we are not even asking them to chip in, but under the party wall act, if they dont respond, we cant do it! (iirc)
maybe they have a fear of other people. :s

So, instead of shutting up and selling, he now has a neighbourhood dispute, which he'll have to reveal during the sale process, and may well cost him a significant amount of money.
Double win!

basically what this bloke has said is:
"you've made it vaguely harder for me to get what I want, so I'm now having a childish strop and blaming you for my own problem. Because I'm a child in an adults body I am taking my bat & ball and going home. Also because of my retarded mind I am actually going to tell you it's all your fault, which should make you feel bad, but me feel better. That I've given up at the 1st hurdle is definitely not a sign of my own immaturity. So there."

put in a silly low offer on the house when it goes on the market.

johnners - not really. Just sitting around in my living room in the morning got me thinking. Personally even if every single post said "You're a ****, why did you make him feel unwelcome" it wouldn't have made an impact. I was just genuinely surprised he banged on the door.
Oddly, he hasn't done the same to the other neighbour so it's obviously something I did which pissed him off. My guess is that it's probably the note as taxi said.

....it's obviously something I did which pissed him off
Piss him off properly, by as soon as the 'For Sale' sign goes up, getting an old scrap engine lump, a stained double bed mattress, and a dozen empty cans of lager, and leaving it all in your front garden.
Just a temporary measure, but well worth the effort in my opinion.

I would second what Ernie sez. For added effect, scrawl 'Facha iz a narzi' on the front of your house. Scatter some spil bin bags full of stinky rubbish about. Have at least 3 or 4 very aggressive barky dogs, preferably Pit-Bulls and Rottweilers, that sort of breed. When people come round to view the house, play really really loud DnB, and stage mock yet realistic looking rows with your family members, where you call each other all sorts of a ****. Even better, practice stage blows on your wife, that look like proper vicious ones. Bit of make-up should provide some nice black eyes for your wife and kids.
Or if all that's a bit too much hassle, just get me round....

A perfect summing up of the situation, I feel. Under the circumstances I'd be doing metaphorical backflips and inviting the rest of the neighbours to his going-away barbeque to which he wouldn't be invited. Some people are just dicks, don't lose sleep over it.
Having said that, if I learned that TJ or ernie were moving next door I'd probably behave like him...Posted 6 months ago # -

I once got reported to the Council for Noise Nuisance, for playing Beethoven's Fifth Syphony: Ode to Joy.
Really, really loud...

If Ernie or TJ moved in next to me, I'd be very happy indeed, and probbly regularly invite them over for drinks and play Scalextrics:
