Areas of Law / Property

A neighbour has opened a cat rescue centre in her house. The cats are over everyone’s gardens and wander in and out of peoples’ houses as they please. Is there anything we can do about this?

If the neighbour has formally opened a cat rescue centre she should probably have applied for permission to the council’s planning department for a “material change of use.” You could alert the council to the situation and make known your objections. If the house isn’t formally a cat rescue centre, but the owner simply enjoys keeping large numbers of cats, your only hope of evicting them may be on the grounds of hygiene, in which case you could call in the council’s environmental health officers.
