We are in dispute with counci regarding our front fence and the matter is being exacerbated by our whinging neighbour who has complained non stop for 15 years.

Is it a breach of privacy that the council's building inspector wrote to the neighbour in response to his complaint that the council would be issuing us with a Notice of intention directions order even before we knew. Why is it any concern of the neighbours to be given such detailed information? The council could have just responded that the matter is now with the certifier.
