JFKvsNixon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I can understand the noise aspect of Industry having lived in the East end of Sheffield when the hammers and rolling mills were at full tilt [wish they would return tomorrow]. However I have worked in the building trade and I can assure you that it is a trade governed by the weather. A team of bricklayers for instance may be laid of due to rain ,frost or snow.,Come the weekend and the sun comes out so they decide to make hay while the sun shines . Bingo they have some wages to come in .Then the nimby's start complaining about noise , dust, mud on road and so on . So the family's of the building workers end up with no money usually around this time of year. Building work is not like sitting in a cosy office or call centre or shop work it is work when the work is there or possible. So are you suggesting that to many builders, the building regulations are secondary to the builders needs? I'm not sure that that would be the attitude I'd want from builders working for me.

monkey104 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 It may be easier and quicker just to go round and have an amiable chat with the site manager and build up a rapport that could come in handy as the building stages continue. It costs nothing and if that doesn't work then go down the official route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicotrod Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for the sensible and constructive comments. Yes my house was once a building site but I hoped it was built whilst the correct regulations were being followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haddy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Weekdays people tend to be out at work. Having your house rattling around on a much needed day off isn't great. Especially if you have people over or want to relax. Being next to a building site is really disruptive. Weekends people tend to be at work! Some days people tend to be at home unless your a office jockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many on these threads have to do D.I.Y at weekends for instance or have had a mate of a mate to do them some cash in hand at weekends when that is the only time either party can actually do the work. Most of the moaners I would like to bet. There is also some work that can only be done at weekends. Edited January 24, 2016 by samssong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you trying to suggest that the conditions imposed during the planning application process not apply to the builders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrinkly67 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have no idea as to what conditions were imposed . As quoted in earlier post "Construction & demolition works that are audible at the site boundary shall only take place between 7.30 - 18.00 hrs Monday to Friday ; 8.00 - 13.00 hrs on Saturdays. Personally I'd probably give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a "one off" but if it continues they are breaking their planning application conditions which are enforceable. That particular condition was put in place to make the works somewhat acceptable to those who have to live alongside whilst it takes place.
