Living next to a creche

kilburn

Hi folks, I own a 3 bed semi which has the pleasure of being attached to a creche which sounds more like a zoo. The noise is unbearable and i cannot cope with it anymore.

Any suggestions on where i stand with this issue as I am sure as a business they must have to be responsible for noise and must remedy it?

They would have applied for planning permission to run it from the house( i assume its a house?) dont think you would get anywhere complaining about noise during the day. Do you work nights or something?

Yeah you need to find the planning permission, try searching on your local council's website for starters. Should give some hours that they are allowed operate too.

they dont actually have planning permission for it and have just applied for retention thats why i am looking into solving it

Is it actually a creche or is it someone mindin a few kids?

3 bed semi bought by someone solely for the purpose of use as a creche, no owner occupier, empty each night

I would strongly object then since obviously it is stopping you from peaceful enjoyment of your property.

There is a creche about 5 doors up from me. Other than seeing people coming and going, I would barely know it is there.

However, my GP is right next to a creche and any time I'm there the kids seem to be having a screamathon. The doctor who lives upstairs barely notices the noise.

They would need planning permission and should also be paying rates as a business. I would certainly make an objection to the planning application if it is disrupting your enjoyment of your home.

You could also make an objection that it's a business being run from a residential property.
