Hello,
I have recently bought a land directly from the estate developer in an upcoming estate with lot of construction work happening around and people dump their rubbish at other's vacant land. The estate developer cleaned the land of all rubbish before the handover and I got temp fence installed at my land to discourage people from illegally dumping rubbish.
Recently, construction work started at my neighboring land. Workers from that land have moved my fence/damaged it to access the neighboring work place without my permission. Also, they have dumped some construction materials in my land (like concrete and wooden planks). Also, since the fence was moved and there was free access to my site, someone has dumped a load of cladding material. I have been talking to the construction manager of the neighboring land, who has accepted that his workers have moved the fence. However, he is not ready to get all of the rubbish cleaned from my land, as he says that the cladding material was not dumped by his workers. I have photos of his workers moving the fence and accessing my land, but not the photos of them dumping.
The construction manager says he is not responsible for his subcontractors moving the fence and (possibly) outsiders dumping the cladding material. I have tried to contact my local council, who said the dumping is in a private property and asked me to contact Dispute settlement centre.
Can any lawyers please advise what are the courses of action for me? Thanks in advance.
