De right<\/a> of use and enjoyment of land or eigendom<\/a> by an owner or occupier has long been established in law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eigenaren van onroerend goed hebben echter niet het absolute recht om hun grond te gebruiken zoals zij dat willen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because one person\u2019s right to do whatever they want on their land could conflict<\/a> with another<\/a> person\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1860, private<\/a> nuisance was defined in Bamford tegen Turnley<\/em> as \u201cany continuous activity causing a substantial interference with a claimant\u2019s land or his use or enjoyment of that land.\u201d A private nuisance claim is therefore regarded as a civil<\/a> wrong that can give rise to a claim against the person causing the nuisance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overlast kan vele vormen aannemen, zoals bijvoorbeeld overmatig lawaai, lucht- of waterverontreiniging, schimmel en vocht, trillingen en binnendringende boomwortels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proceedings in the civil courts do offer a remedy<\/a> for concerned parties, but it can often be a challenging and lengthy process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lokale overheden hebben de bevoegdheid om corrigerende maatregelen af te dwingen, maar dit is onderhevig aan de grillen van tijd, belangen en budgetten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wat gebeurt er als er iets misgaat en hoe kun je een claim indienen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An effective route for the individual<\/a> to address any nuisance if a landlord<\/a> fails to act is through the procedure laid out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Most people are surprisingly unaware of this procedure, however it is being used more frequently<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op grond van artikel 82 kan een particulier bij de kantonrechter een verzoek indienen tot het uitvaardigen van een last onder dwangsom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. waarbij de verweerder wordt verplicht de overlast binnen de in het bevel aangegeven termijn te be\u00ebindigen en alle daarvoor noodzakelijke werkzaamheden uit te voeren<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. het herhalen van de overlast te verbieden en de verweerder te verplichten om binnen de in het bevel aangegeven termijn alle werkzaamheden uit te voeren die nodig zijn om herhaling te voorkomen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Should the court take the view that the nuisance exists or is likely to recur then failure to comply with the order may amount to a criminal<\/a> offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dit geeft de aanvrager aanzienlijke bevoegdheden en vormt een waardevol instrument om een situatie te verhelpen die voor de bewoner waarschijnlijk zeer vervelend is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Claims<\/a> for private nuisance can be made by owners of the land, those with exclusive possession of the land or those occupying the land as a tenant or licensee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A benefit of this procedure is that an application, properly made, does not carry the same adverse costs risks as civil proceedings. If you win, you may be entitled to have your costs paid<\/a>. It can also be executed quite quickly, which may lead to the nuisance be rectified more speedily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
