Can the neighbours say no?

[EmEd1984]

A friend of ours is planning on having a bbq on sunday with a swimming pool in his back garden...actually its more of a small yard but it should be fun all the same! anyway, apparently his next door neighbour has said he's got a problem with it. i'm all for keeping the neighbours happy, but is there a law that backs him up in any way? i'd understand more if the neighbour had a problem with the bbq as well!

any thoughts appreciated, EmEd

toug for his next door neighbour, he can have the party providing between 11pm-7am noise is kept to a minimum obviously cos people are sleeping.

hes gotta be diplomatic as he has to live with his neighbour. if he wants he can just keep it blasting till the cops arrive, put the volume down wait for them to go and blast it back up again

any fit ladies coming? my invitation must have been lost in the post

lol

I'm someone who finds other people's noise intolerable, but if this barbecue is in the daytime, then I think the neighbour is being an unreasonable killjoy.

Everyone has to run their lives during the day and a family barbecue in the day, at the weekend, in my opinion is reasonable and it's the neighbour who is being unreasonable.

I think this neighbour is being unreasonable u can party all day long as long as the noise is at its lowest during the hours 11pm to 7 am and if u are noisy till 11 pm and the misreable neighbour does ring the cops they wont come out till its past 11pm anyways just throw him a hotdog and tell him to shut his whining lol

Academic innit? Bank Holiday weekend, bound to pee down...

On a serious note, it's in his own garden, and I don't think he is being overly anti social,

Tell him to invite the neighbour to the bbq,he can't moan about it if he is there too.

thanks for your answers guys! I thought that was the case, perhaps the neighbours just being awkward and my friend far too accomodating!

Thanks again,
