Thanks everyone - I am fortunate to have many excellent neighbours, a proper community who look after each other and are considerate and helpful.
The one exception is the bloke 'over the back fence', who is of the "I know my rights, so stuff you" type. He can't understand why no-one will take his parcels in, put his bins back on his drive, invite him to BBQs etc.
Nor does he understand why any excessive commercial activity that he carries out on his (residential) property is reported to the planning department, when his predecessor ran a small builders business from the same property for many years.
The difference being that we all liked the previous chap, who was a friendly, generous bloke and at pains never to make any noise except for the occasional van coming/going during the working day - whereas this one knows 'the rules' (or thinks he does) and pushes them to the absolute limit.
What goes around ...
