Hi all,
Our neighbours applied for a permit to build a deck in their back-yard and their application was rejected. In response, they decided to fill their land up with soil up to their retaining wall. This means that now when they are standing in their back-yard, the 2m fence between us only reaches chest height for them.
They see into our backyard and rear living areas. We no longer have any privacy from the rear of our property. Council is not helping us. Do we have a right to object to what has just happened? Could anyone point me in the direction of appropriate legislation for Victoria?
Thank you.
