Or for the 45 mins they were there it didn't go off! They can't write a report on what didn't happen, if you observed the EH officer so clearly did you here the banger while he was present?Here's how it goes with our local council EH.
They don't respond for 3 weeks to a month.
They then turn up on a day when the wind is blowing the other way and sit in a field entrance with the engine running and window open less than 2 inches with the radio on whilst playing with apple or Samsung smart phone for 45 minutes then leave without speaking to complainant. Three days later a letter arrives stating that (based on the 45 minutes they were there) they do not consider the noise which bears a very good resemblance to Northern Ireland in the early seventies, to be a "statutory nuisance". CASE CLOSED, don't bother contacting us about future issues unless it's 50 feet from your property and firing all night. Cash back hander carefully squirreled away in said council operatives holiday fund tin would be an educated guess.
