Neighbours Gone Rogue: From Badger Wars to Building Chaos | Nightmare Neighbour - S1E2

The Real Files

1,000,966 views

In this shocking two-part episode, the peace of rural Somerset is shattered by animal-lover Meg Sunindale, whose badger-feeding campaign and rail-posters against a local cull leave the village divided — and under siege. Meanwhile, in Woodford Green north-east London, plans to turn a modest home into a five-bedroom “palace” slash renovation hell wreak havoc on neighbouring households: blocked light, cracking walls, threats to blow up a house, and a once-friendly street torn apart by construction and intimidation.

The neighbour that built that awful extension is taking the piss. I ultimately blame the local council for allowing that to go ahead. The fact they haven't even inspected the building work is crazy!

Having to have to declare a right to light is one of the most depressing things I've ever heard. She should have gone to the media with that and shamed the council into acting.

There is no way on this earth that the extension is going to pass building control. If it does theres been a backhander to the council, either that or one of his relatives works there.

That wall is so scary it’s ready to collapse at any time

Case one, they the council have been paid under the table, to allow this to happen, what a nightmare..

@pizzazzincorporated4583 10 months ago

For many of these victims the nightmare is not over. They will have a devil of a time selling.

That crack in the party wall is DEFINITELY structural & I'd bet there's heaps of underlying damage that will become evident after a few years.
The home will become unsellable.

The woman who thinks it is HER driveway is wrong. The piece of land does not belong to her. She had no right to put up gates

Don’t expect your local council to help you with any problem and be careful what you say to the police.

Debra's request to register the land was rejected so she went ahead anyways and put in a driveway.
Who would have thought that was a really bad idea? 🤣🤣🤣

The greedy council will agree to anything so long as money is coming their way.

"She divided the village".
Meg didn't divide the village, it was the whole village vs Meg.
That's "she pissed the whole village off".

Ancient light rights apply to any windows that have been getting light access for 20 years minimum . Thry should have got a solicitor and taken him to court regarding the light rights

All this living too close to each other causes this kind of environment.

@bernadetteshinton6236 10 months ago

Council don't care so long as money is coming their way.

@pam164 10 months ago

The council should never allowed that.

@katysummer9418 10 months ago

Don't you need building permits BEFORE you start a house extension in the UK to make sure other housrs aren't damaged??? Its so horribe to have to put up with that.
