(Hesiod, poet of Ancient Greece)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Your neighbour\u2019s business is driving you to distraction. Perhaps it\u2019s loud all-night music, or an invasion of your hard-earned privacy, or illegal parking in your driveway, but regardless of what the nuisance factor is, it really is untenable. You\u2019ve tried everything you can think of to sort it out amicably \u2013 polite requests, offers of mediation, compromise proposals. Nothing has worked, and the nightmare continues.<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s off to court you go. Legal action is never first prize when it comes to long-term relationships with neighbours, but if they leave you with no other alternative, take heart from two recent High Court cases. In both, businesses being operated by neighbours in contravention of land use laws were penalised for doing so.<\/p>\n<h6>Noisy nightclubs shut down \u2026 with some harsh words for the landlord<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>A university residence was subjected to noise from nearby nightclubs, with students complaining that loud music prevented them from sleeping and studying until the early hours of the morning.<\/li>\n<li>The establishments were on property zoned \u201cUse 6: Business 1&#8243; which allowed for the use of the premises as a &#8220;Place of Refreshment&#8221;, such as a caf\u00e9 or bar. But these particular businesses fell into the municipality\u2019s definition of \u201cnightclub\u201d, which put them into the \u201cPlace of Amusement\u201d category &#8211; for which they were not zoned.<\/li>\n<li>They argued that their \u201ctavern\u201d liquor licences obliged them to provide entertainment and therefore allowed them a secondary use of the premises as a \u201cPlace of Amusement\u201d. The Court disagreed: \u201cthe terms of the liquor licence can never override the provisions of the Town Planning Scheme\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>The premises were accordingly being used outside of their land use rights and were prohibited from continuing to do so, i.e. the nightclubs must close down. If they convert to just being \u201cpubs\u201d they are prohibited from making any noise in excess of the noise levels permitted by the land use rights of the premises.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the Court had a harsh word or two for the landlord of the premises in question, which had, it said, remained \u201csupine\u201d rather than enforcing a clause in the lease prohibiting the tenants from creating any nuisance to neighbours. The landlord was accordingly ordered to take \u201call reasonable measures\u201d to stop its tenants from making a noise nuisance, plus it must pay a share of the costs. That\u2019s a clear warning to all landlords that they risk liability for their tenants\u2019 wrongdoing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Approvals for a seaside guest house set aside<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>The owner of a seaside property realised that not only were her neighbours running a seven-room guest house without municipal permission, but that they planned to go double story with it. \u201cThere\u201d, she thought, \u201cgoes my privacy\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>She also feared the negative impact of a guest house on the general character of the area, on traffic volumes and on stormwater management, particularly in light of the guest house\u2019s plan to increase its size to eight suites with parking for sixteen cars.<\/li>\n<li>The guest house owners had applied to the local authority for a permanent departure from the zoning scheme conditions (their house being zoned \u201csingle residential\u201d) and for the removal of restrictive conditions attached to the title deed. The municipality refused to remove the title deed restrictions but granted a conditional approval for the operation of a guest house.<\/li>\n<li>The homeowner was having none of that and took the matter to the High Court, which found that the local town planning scheme in force at the time (before a new scheme was adopted) did not empower the municipality to grant approval for building or running a guest house on the property. The Court set aside the municipal approvals.<\/li>\n<li>Both the development and the operation of a guest house on the neighbour\u2019s property were thus declared unlawful. The neighbour, if it still wants to operate the guest house, must now make new applications to the municipality under the \u201cnew\u201d town planning scheme for the area. That\u2019s Round 1 to the homeowner, and an expensive lesson for the neighbour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Before you buy a property\u2026<\/h6>\n<p>Whether you plan to run a business from the property you are about to buy or are worried that one of your new neighbours might do so in the future, check what zoning and land use restrictions apply to your respective properties\u00a0<strong>before\u00a0<\/strong>you put pen to paper!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>\u00a0The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
