Annoying neighbor that's not my neighbor! Newbie!

[jondear]

Wright just had a phone call from someone that has bought a development site that was an old broiler house site .
I've been tipping dung in a heap 10 load of straw mix with cow dung .
The person was complaining about the flies coming into her mobile home she was adiment that's where they were coming from !
Asked how long I was planning on leaving it there .
I said a while . Didn't even know there was anyone living on site as it's not obvious .Have never met them .
It's not in sight of accommodation and the other side of a large building must be 70ft away .
I already have a heap that's been adjacent since November but is covered .
What to do .I was a little perplexed and angry that outsiders move in and suddenly expect you to change
It's not like it's a heap of chicken muck .!
See what happens I suppose !
Move,cover or leave .

Not your problem you were there first, you have done nothing illegal .

I;m not sure that "I was here first" has any legal force . There was Russian emigre hereabouts some years back who had a sow pig unit on a farm well out . it was within a sound boundary fence , and the sows ran out there until they were due . However the surrounding land was sold for low density development , and immediately gave rise to complaints . He was very bitter about it all , saying "I vos 'ere the fust , they saying allergic to pig smells . I allergic to petrol fumes but I not complain about them" . Didn't make a blind bit of difference , he was driven out . I think it's all development noe

Don't worry, not going to be farming it much longer, thinking of allowing it as a traveller encampment.

Leave the heap where it is move it and you’ll be getting calls about anything they dislike in the future.

I get flies in my place, no muck heap or stock within a mile.
Say it's more likely from all the dead broilers they buried in the same hole when they got rid of the old asbestos sheds.

I suppose a lot of annoying niebours are home now and with the days getting longer they got more time to get annoyed

Well I'm going to leave it a few days to settle .I heaped it yesterday so freshened it up .
The only flies about would be those tiny ones .

Incorrect. If it constitutes a statutory nuisance (it may not do of course) it makes no difference who was there first. I'm speaking a a former Environmental Health Office so know a little about the legislation.

Do you have any records of action being taken ,

Tell her you’ve spoke to the council to record the complaint to follow procedure but they need her address to match it up with their council tax records before they will investigate.

Offer to build a wall of straw bales to block the view smell until the hedge can grow high enough to keep it out and remind her that all the flies and midges are food for birds,spiders etc etc.
