Posh Neighbors at War (Striped House Documentary) | Real Stories

- Kensington and Chelsea is the most expensive place to live in London, with properties costing up to £55 million. Set against this exclusive backdrop we reveal the secret world of posh neighbors at war.
From the woman who hit the headlines worldwide for painting her exclusive Kensington mews house in bright red stripes, infuriating neighbors in the process, to the couple whose loud back garden operas are causing a commotion in the countryside and the unhappy denizens of Hampstead who are up in arms about noisy gardeners, we lift the lid on these most upmarket of neighborly rows. At the heart of the documentary is the battle between two multi-millionaire neighbors, businessman Niall Carroll; and Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring, the woman behind the stripes.
In March last year, Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring got the exterior of her Kensington property painted in bright red stripes - very different from the muted tones of the multi-million-pound houses on either side. This action came in the midst of an ongoing legal argument about her plans to turn this two-story property into a dream home, complete with a basement pool and cinema. But basement developments in London have become highly controversial, and we’ll explore both sides of the planning issues around not only this case, but others too, and we follow Zipporah’s case as it escalates to a public inquiry.
We meet Mayor of London Boris Johnson’s sister, author Rachel Johnson, herself one of the most outspoken Notting Hill residents on what she sees as the horrors of living next door to a basement build, and Oscar-winning actor Tom Conti at his Hampstead home. He shares his fury that his beloved peace and quiet has been broken with the latest trend - to use noisy leafblowers instead of quiet rakes to keep their lawns looking lovely!

Whose side are you on? Keep the stripes or repaint the house as the neighbours have wanted?
Stripey! it seems she got her way and was granted permission to keep it stripey by the crown court in 2017? Good on her!
Stripes!
Keep It how you like it. You own it.
Stripes for sure
i love the stripes, makes the house look happy.
She even left the last stripe unfinished just to really piss people off. Legend
Yank detected.
Its petty and so funny. Its her home its her prob imagine when she wants to repaint it’s a lot to cover.
Listening to these privileged people talk about trivial issues has me quite irritated.
@@baddie1shoe That's humans for you... it's why I love animals so much.
@@InservioLetumis that the hobby?
The hypocrisy and selfishness of the neighbour wasting all that time and money objecting to the building of a basement extension, when thats precisely what he did to his neighbours
Exactly!!!!!!
I loved his comment about the queen having a tiara doesn't mean everyone should.... he's not the queen either
So he can have a nice house but she cant
I think he just had a bit of a hissy fit because “he wanted the space” and she outbid him in cash.
No doubt he would’ve been planning that basement for the extra space he wanted
Pretty sure all of you just dislike him bc he’s a white male. Get a new hobby besides hating cis white men
I love Zapora's way of protesting. Her sense of justice and humor is superlative.
Best human there is
They wouldn’t let Zipporah make an auditory nuisance. So she treated them to a visual catastrophe. Game set match 👏
Lady is being straight up bullied. No question on that. The neighbour guy even boasted on camera that he has the right to make the property he wants but not everyone has that exception. Good on her to fight back!
She won, tore down the house and build a new one that looked so much better than the neighbor😅
The bully got away with bullying in South Africa but forgot he now resides in the UK.
Typical british .
South African pillock
Update: She tore the whole house down and is currently in the process of building a new house from scratch, undoubtedly driving those horrible neighbors completely insane.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please tell her Santa forgot about me
@@Joy-Marie369 😂
The nasty neighbors will surely go insane. Serve them right.
😂 I love this!!! I hope she gave instructions to be as noisey as possible! The guy next door was mad he lost the bid so he tried to render her property unusable so she would sell it.
This is my kind of woman. We need more people in the world like her! Cheers to her!
Unfortunately I think she is a rare breed, from another tie-frame upbringing. One that grow up knowing we are all the same, we have to fight our wars, fight for what is right and achieving sucess is not to be match with snobish behavior or "I am more than you are" attitude.
My kind too. Yes, an increasingly rare breed, but we can learn, right?!
I love the way she screamed back at the neighbors, with color. 😂 Her neighbors are very snooty. She wears her money well.
Noise, rubbish & parking I understand but the colour of the building? Don't look at it if it offends you that much!!
@@russell-di8js Hilarious 😂
@@teriadams7398 1st world problems??
I was expecting to dislike the owner of the red and white house, but ultimately ended up rooting for her!
Me too
😷👍
Ditto👍
Me too! She's bloody awesome!
Yeh I wouldn’t mind that
The south African guy is an absolute hypocrite, I hope the lady gets her home how she likes it.
Exactly.
That one must go back to south Africa and stop oppressing people there
@@phumlanyathikazi3024 no, listen.
We don't deserve him either
She won, tore down the house and built a new one which took 18 months lmao
He certainly looks like a brute.
I loved when the dude said “it’s not a leaf blower they need, it’s a psychiatrist” 😂
The dude is Tom Conti. Legendary actor.
Then he can go out there a rake the leaves,
@@MrSophire I mean, fair enough the blowers are loud and annoying but you would think that the super affluent would be able to convince the lawn companies to use rakes for a nice fee which would be basically nothing to them.
@@Jake-yf3gv as the gardener said, these are the areas that beat our prices down so it's the only way to be efficient with my time
I think he is the one who needs a psychiatrist getting this upset about a leaf blower 😂
The seething jealousy of the South African neighbour is hilarious. If I can’t buy next door then no one will. What a horrid person.
Yeah, very nouveau riche!
Yeah, plus he didn't want his neighbor to have a pool similar to his... what a douche
WELL SAID.
The Tiara metaphore was honestly so disgusting. Unbelievable.
It's not surprising, he is after all an Apartheid era South African.
She ended up winning the case in the High Court to keep the red and white stripes and was ultimately granted planning permission for her renovation. Glad she got victory on both counts against her time wasting neighbour and that archaic council.
It says at the end of the video it she had to paint the house white. Also they didn't allow her to build her two basement ether.🥺
Link?
She has more money😋...she won the bid.
Yeah. Good for her
I would not want such acid lady in my neighbour too.
All of these people seem so vapid, petty and boring. It is proof that money doesn't buy class.
Zipporah, you go girl. What an amazing, clever woman.
That woman has my respect. She refuses to be bullied.
She can afford not to be bullied. Good for her!
@Cylinders truck why would you call someone stupid ? Africa is not a country.
@@azmiadnan2161
hahaha True!
@Cylinders truck Africa is a continent not a country
@@azmiadnan2161
[Cylinders truck] You might wanna put something on that wicked burn you just got there M8. lol
So he got to build his dream home with pool etc but doesn’t want her to do it because he’s pissed that she won the home. You would think the court would recognize this.
he bought it with a pool..
He bought it with the pool and other amenities.
Precisely. Seriously, who needs so much basement space that you're prepared to spend another fortune on a vacant property next door just so you can access the basement? It's all about status and bragging rights.
@@amaraland1 but he did some renovation, they even said it in the show.
He should sell up and move if he doesn’t like it, after all he can throw is weight around freely in his home country of South Africa.
He says “if the Queen has a tiara, should everyone have a tiara?”. Ah yeah if they can pay for their own tiara they can. He also thinks he’s a queen lol
*I think a building warehouse would be appropriate..." 😅😅 Brilliant.
How lovely it must be when your biggest worry in life is what colours your neighbour has used on their house!
Right? They should try dealing with neighbors in East Los Angeles!
Agreed
Trust me I've been around rich folks , even the perfume you wear it can bother them and in rare occasion you can meet rich one who cant take a leak or #2 unless its their own bathroom.
It’s the neighbours who have to look at it! It’s horrible!
Maybe they should move in a wood to.not have to look to neighborghs house but their own garden@@mogznwaz
The fact that these ppl are so up in arms about some stripes or a leaf blower just shows you what their problems are like...Non existent. Cry me a river!
The fact that with a lot of money they waste their time making wars for an house with stripes tells how empty and pathetic their life is.
Unfortunately money can't buy a functional brain.
You are so right. How can a leaf blower disturb you🤔 yes they are loud but for goodness sake it's not all the time and if that's all they have to worry about lucky them. Just count your blessings and look at the homeless around you in london don't think they would mind a bit if noise to have a roof over their heads 😡
The leaf blower ppl make 10 pound and hour and the rich would legit would rather the leaf blower guys and gals to go hungry instead of "ruining their day" because their leaf blowers are loud.
Get on the roof w some paintbuckets lol
People give what they have.Hurtful people automatically hurt others.What the neighbor paints is nobody's business.so what?
..i LOVE the Red Stripes!❤😂..brightens the road up lovely!❤
If I lived next door I'd be well pleased it would make my house look better and up the value 😅
I love it!
It’s a striking example of what’s wrong with society when a neighbor can’t stand the sounds of progress. Especially the hypocrisy of having a developed house and not wanting the neighbour to have one.
This was an extremely well done documentary. I don't know how you managed to get interviews with so many people
He built basements in his house and no doubt made a lot of noise and upset the neighbours, but doesnt want his neighbour doing the same. Shame on him. He is the evil one.
He's just upset he couldn't have the building .
He bought it already done shortly before she bought hers. He wanted to buy hers to expand his.
@@elementgypsyhim expanding his, would be the exact same as what she's wanting to do tho. It's okay for him, but not her.
What a greedy, awful human he is.
@@CaptainAMAZINGGG but that’s not the case is it ?
He reminds me of the Republican Party in USA.
This woman is AMAZING and I appreciate her level of petty.
hilarious!
May she do something more worthy with her fierceness...
😏🙄
but all she wants is to build a basement with swimming pool, the same as what her neighbor guy had done to his place
Her little half smirk is the absolute greatest. I love her for it.
How do we expect children to listen to us about not bullying the 'different' kid in class, while we act like this to other adults in front of them. Unreal.
I love this lady! I’m so glad to read comments supporting her! I wasn’t sure how others would feel but I was curious.
She ought to let the homeless live there, see how the neighbour likes that.
there's a curveball
Yes! Rehousing the surviving Grenfell residents from down the road!
They potentially still have squatters rights in Britain... I don't know, I don't live there.
OMG.... YES YES YES
I LOVE IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed! Or at least something that would be a major annoyance to Mr fussy britches next door. 😂
"because a queen has a tiara doest mean everyone should have a tiara" jesus this guy thinks he matters
Maybe that guy think his a king hahahah
Ikr?🤣
He's a total W⚓(wanker)
Nah ....hes a typical narcissist
The arrogance of that man phew definitely south African
I love her. The one unfinished line is brilliant. 😅❤😅
WELL DONE Ms Zapporah! It's your house and you can paint it as you like! It's unique, artist, and YOURS!
"If the councel force me to repaint the stripes I will, but it won't be white" my god this lady is badass
I love her
PAINT IT FLAMING YELLOW
@@Msprincess102005 💥😂😂😂😂
I’m on her side because her neighbour thinks that only he can have a pool in his basement and that rules are for thee but not for me 🤦🏻♂️🙄
@@Msprincess102005 Fluorescent Orange.
Went to read more about it. On 2017, a judge decided that section 215 cannot be used for aesthetics reasons, so she could keep the white and red color scheme and finally was allowed to renovate the house but only with 1 basement and not with 2 level basement.
Regardless if we think it was a waste of money, if we were in her shoes, we would also fight for our rights. She set a precedent in court that can also help other people.
I was shocked how there were hints of corruption and everbody was ok with it. The man contacting somebody from the council and checking "what can be done" (not if it was right or wrong per se), is a clear example how they try to twist a regulation (section 215) in their favor to cut other people's right.
Some people want to blame her for being petty but who really started this was his hypocrite neighbor that could not out bid her and probably rallied the neighbours to block her plans to renovate, when they at some point also renovated their homes and have a 2 level basement.
Exactly.wot a pig.
Thanks for checking
Thank you for the update!
You just saved my heart! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing and very well said
The lady is slayy!
Her smirk everytime she praises the color.
I came into this expecting to dislike her, but I actually adore her and admire her defense of her rights as a homeowner.
I also kind of liked the stripes 😊.
I can't believe the neighbor objecting to her trying to fix her home. When he subjected everyone to his noise for 6 months. I'm glad she won!
Yeah that SA neighbor really isn't a fair person! Plus all the other ones who objected..
Exactly, I changed side's when i heard he already did it as you say , the neck of the guy. Hope he's not Irish, the shame 🤣😂🤣😂..ah SA, 🤭
@@staffy4389 yup! He was just mad because she out bid him on the house.
He bought the house after the work was completed. Still it’s very hypocritical, to try and stop someone else from fixing up their home, similarly to how your home was improved upon.
I’m glad that she won cause she didn’t give up and plus what she’s doing to her home would also improve the value to his home. I would love to come visit her .
When you're so rich that you don't have a work life, fighting with your neighbours becomes your day job.
Yes...but let Them do it...let Them pave the Road for us others...then it Will be Easier for us , in the future🤗
yes
why cant they just live in a place where there are no neighbors for a mile? they could afford it.
@@Redmanticore How can they show off then?
@@Redmanticore Because people much rather live in walkable cities
the decayed windowsills are what gets me more than the paint job
That South African man’s comment about not everyone having the right to wear a tiara really sets off an American (and probably most others as well). The beast!
The Narcissism and hypocrisy of the South African is real...I’m team red stripes #teamredstripes
Agree totally. The guy is a total a**hole
I’m team red stripes too. The South African guy was miserable 😡.
@AndreaLuise Ca. aaah ukwane iwe
Anonzwa here lol
Although I don't like it personally I'm still in favour of her.
"My neighbor did not like the red and white stripes and I suppose that made them more attractive to me ": aha! Give Ziporrah her Tiara!!... I love a petty Queen LOL
This lady might not be instantly likeable, but I fully support her. I would go mad if a bunch of hypocritical arses were telling me what I may or may not do. Infuriating!!
honestly, I love the stripes. it feels like I'm looking at an iconic scene
"I'm not terribly keen on proper authority let alone abusive authority" omg I love this woman!!
a different kettle of fish

@Anket vhastii -- *YES!!!!!*
100%
Exactlly!
She made the greatest point that got my respect all the neighbors bitching already got the basement and houses how they want. While she wants one they like nah no noise like wtf i would do that same to give you the big f u
I actually think it makes the street charming!
I am South African and I can tell you that we have among the worst people you can find anywhere in the world in this country. Imagine all your neighbours being like this guy
Disgraceful, these people wasting millions of pounds, while millions die of thirst and hunger daily
When I first saw house I was like, what a terrible neighbor; however, after watching the video I was like, "you go girl." And she's right, her neighbor is an absolute hypocrite. I think the neighbor was simply ticked off that he wasn't able to purchase the building. Believe me, if the neighbor had purchased the bldg I can guarantee you he would have done renovations and could have cared less about disturbing his neighbors.
took the words outa my mouth!!
I was thinking the same thing. He is a big ole baby throwing a tantrum.
I totally agree!!!
Amen to that!
I like her fistiness and agree the neighbor is a bit of a hipocrit but I do not agree with her stripes, they are lovely but she knew when she bought it was a conservated area, but she likes to ruffle the feathers and play victim. Both her neighbour are her are horrible as neighbors. Hypocritical.
It is beyond shameful that this dispute is costing taxpayers. The lady should have the same right as her neighbor, who was able to renovate as he pleased.
you'd think with them all being so rich, they'd have put soundproofing in. They'd have probably still complained about it even then
Agreed...But taxpayer costs? Erm..İ'm pretty sure they could afford to pay their own court costs..... :o/...No council involvement..just a neighbour dispute surely?..Unless İ missed something??
@@JerryTremaine well it's the council who is approving these kind of things....
@@user-ho4tb5qe7v you cant soundproof a building site but i agree everyone is entitled to do building work i mean you can even tell she was going to do it bty the book perfectly so he should just put up with a bit of noise for a few month like they had to listen to his renovations for months he is the oppitemy of a hypocrite
He’s just mad cuz he wanted the property and she out bid him
In Portugal, we have a town all painted in stripes. They are much sought after. If I were that woman's neighbour, I would just not worry about it.
Love this lady - the neighbour Niall is unreal..
Soooo that guy from South Africa was ok with his home being completely gutted but doesn't want anyone else to?
Do you now see just what Mandela had to deal with in South Africa!
Yeah didn’t you hear???? Only he can wear a tiara!!!!
@@plantsoverpills1643 The crazy part of that either he was too stupid to realize the logical consequence of that metaphor, or even worse he did realize it and he was calling himself the queen of the neighborhood and he gets to have the tiara.
@@2011blueman I wish I could give you lots of hearts. You deserve this. Nailed the observation.. hahahahahahaLMAO!
She’s in the right and she knows it. Well done girl. Don’t let them push you around.
She payed almost 5 million pounds for a freaking storage. She should have stayed in Geneva.
@@markbrisec3972 her money. She can do what she wants with it.
When so many of us are worrying about heating homes and putting food on the table. Escalating homelessness and genuinely affordable housing. These people and their problems are vile.
😫 Dear me. Can barely afford food at present. Making myself insanely jealous by watching this. My neighbours are also driving me bonkers with building work and leaf blowers.
Niall only blocked her because he wanted that building, nasty selfish dude! I just love her attitude and glad she kept it red and white striped!
Kensington council spending all their time and resources with millionaire neighbor wars, yet ignored Grenfell residents safely concerns for years before it burned to a cinder.
This made me sad
Exactly this
These idiots wouldn't care about Grenfell burning down. They'd be happy, because their property values would go up. They're scum. Money doesn't buy class. Horrid, horrid people.
💯 facts!! Makes you sick to the stomach
The council should never have taken it this far.
“ It’s not a leaf blower they need. It’s a psychiatrist.” Lmaooo
It's so strange to get a glimpse into the world of people that don't have any real problems.
we need more people like her and less people like him. The world would be better. You go girl!
I see feminism here. This guy thinks shes a woman so i will bully her off my street. Go lady show him de cash
Nah! they are both misguided.
Liberty or death
@@mattweger437- to not take your community into consideration, is childish, attention seekng, misdirected fear. Your off topic!
@@edwardruda7049 what? Letting people do what they want is liberty. We had a whole revolution about this
Zipporah has a mischievous twinkle in her eye! I like her. 😊
I like her and I love her determination too ☺️.
She a strong minded woman ...fighting in a mans world ...If I had the money I'd be her neighbour and paint my house striped too ...
I wonder what she does for a living.
Love this woman
@@kathymyers7279 she's 72 so probably on a pension. She is also a property developer as a side occupation i assume. i am not convinced she wants to live there herself 😀
This whole documentary (wery well made by the way) should have had a soundtrack played on the world's smallest violin. I love that they get annoyed by noise, more basement digs! More leafblowers! More! MOREE!!
😂😂😂IKR and that woman saying THESE ARENT MANSIONS, THEY ARE VERY MODEST MID SIZED HOMES. Are you serious? Lord cry me a river 😅😅
I love this woman! She embodies everything i stand for, i hope shes living her best life as i know this was filmed a good few years ago
"Don't you like them", said with a cheeky smile. Naughty woman. I like her. LoL
The British have an adorable salty n classy sense of humor....
Cant help but like her sense of humour.
I like her
I hope she'll consider adding me in her wil! LOL
zipporah I’m totally behind the tenacity of this woman She’s impressed me
Blimey! Zapora I love your moxy. Fantastic. You've inspired me. Well done for standing your ground. Don't be deterred by the objections of others.
She said, "it's distracting and unfinished on the top, right corner." Even better!
Imagine how easy it is when you order a delivery. "Yeah, the striped house."
And if you're one of the neighbours, you'd just say something like, "Two houses down from the striped house."
LOL xD
Painting her house with stripes is a high level of petty and I’m living for it 😂😂😂
I have worked on the building industry all of my life and one thing that I have always despised is that allot of people want theirs but don't want anyone else to have the right to the same. People are so pompous that they think everyone should be required to do as they think. Planning commissions were formed to regulate continuity from outlandish things but have become a way for people to get power over the rights of others. This is a problem worldwide. In the US we have neighborhood covenants run by a council that is formed to keep a certain standard of living in that area. But they end up being taken over by people who are draconian with their interpretation of the rules. They are out every day looking for anything they don't like and find a way to use the rules to force people to do what they think your property should look like. And like the tyrants that they are anything they don't like will be punished as an infraction. They will make sure that you can't have anything better than them. I lived in a neighborhood that had a rule that you could not farm your lot. When I planted 4 tomato plants in my flower bed I was told I had to remove them by the home owners association because it was considered farming. I sold my house and purchased a neighborhood with no HOA. Now I get neighbors who tell me they don't like the type of flowers I planted and they don't like the fact that I have a camper. Everything looks great but they just want to complain. I wish missarible or envious people would just keep it to themselves instead of spreading their misery around.
I think it brightens up the day.
The neighbor annoyed the other neighbors when he renovated his own home. He also wanted Zipporah's house so he could then expand his own, creating more noise for the neighbors. What right does he have to complain? He deserves all the noise he gets. Maybe have someone with a leafblower sent around to add a little extra.
He should get back to where he camefrom
He comes across to me a prize Narcissist. Spiteful little rich boy..
Leafblower parties
Zipporah: "I don't enjoy this fight, but i don't find it intimidating"
That was a great line, and so well delivered.
A motto I can live by in NYC
The hypocrisy of someone with a finished mansion with a super-basement complaining about a neighbor doing the same exact thing he did and saying, "it's not the same" is laughable. So much pride, jealousy and privilege!
“It’s not perfect but it’s got charm” is my new motto
Zipporah is a naughty bit of intelligent posh totty, love her
Intelligent? Posh? not the first words to my mind.
I like her too
Her neighbour was clearly trying to bully her out of the property cos he wanted it to expand his home. The fact she demolished it to build her new home with a basement was the best thing I have ever heard. I love this woman and her fight and then to screwed her neighbours and Niall. Priceless... She sued some news papers and won and donated that money, sued her lawyers and then went after the planning department... Well done Zipporah
👏🌹✨❤️
Brilliant woman and wish all were like her.
Zipporah is an exemplary human she has as many mentioned a fighting spirit. Bold of her to consistently sue where she saw fit.
She’s my new shero.
Fantastic!!
Your brilliant,love it well done ,my kind of woman
"I'm not terribly keen on proper authority, let alone an abusive authority" LEGEND
She is Brilliant, she only painted the stripes because her Neighbors are Interfering with her ability to Renovate her Building into a Residence with a Double Basement. The neighbor right beside her Built a Double Basement and now he is Blocking her From doing the same and that is INSANE. The Neighbors Double Basement Renovation should set Precedence for her to do the same with her property, and as for the stipes, I think they are Delightful and Cheery.
Cheers
She surely knows how to win. Who is she?
Makes me wonder if he perhaps did something during the construction of his basement to compromise the structural integrity of her building. Maybe he fought so hard so she wouldn’t find out. Either way, he’s quite a jerk.
I understand from the story that he bought the building with the basement already built.
@@DunderKlomp my understanding from the story was that he had construction done so he could have his double basement. Regardless, he doesn't want others to have what he's got.
I love her so much. her being sarcastic in a classy and elegant way is amazing and that smirk though. way to go granny.
Agreed but calling her a granny is disrespectful and in itself demeaning.
I'd love to have lunch with her. She fights the good fight and thankfully won each time...took a while but she won the war.
She reminded me of Jean Stapelton.
The comments these neighbours are making are just priceless! Laughing out loudly whilst working out on my rowing machine... they really are quite witty.
I love the way Mr Johannesburg loves the idea of neighborliness unless, that is, he is the neighbour.
"I don't like this fight, but I'm not intimidated by it" - oh god, I wish I could be as classy and fierce as her 😔
She was definitely trolling those objectionable neighbors with the stripes. I got to respect her for that
Why?
Best troll ever. Why do you care what is the colour of the neighbours house.
Remember the guy with a shark on his Roof !! Haha , Shame that didn't catch on !! I,d like a big Bunny on mine...and a Silver front door,worthy of a visiting Unicorn...xx
Poor lady, being surrounded by selfish people who want the best for themselves alone. Life does come with a level of inconvenience for all of us. So putting ourselves in other people shoes is needed with empathy and understanding.
You got my utmost respect lady
I think she should add popcorn at the top..
now that would be spectacular
Lol yes 👍🏻 lmaooo
I was thinking the same thing!!! 🤣🤣
YES HAHAHAHAHAAA
She is so right. Her neighbor doesn't seem to mind that building his own house caused disturbance to others, oh no! Happily bought it and is enjoying his little swimming pool.
No telling what he was going to do with it if he purchased it
What about the other 19 neighbours who rejected it?
In case I missed it, was her next door neighbor, the only neighbor who objected to the stripes? We live in NY and in a near by town a woman painted her house pink, when her neighbor across the road complained, she added painted balloons, comic book characters etc. it was like that for a number of years.
My heart bleeds for them and the disruption the poor souls have to endure 🙄
It’s ok for one neighbor to build his dream house, but not ok for the neighbors...
You can dish it out, but can’t take it..
I hope this lady gets her dream house..
It wasn’t that he wasn’t going to do literally the exact same thing Zepporah was asking to do. Remember he was bidding on that home against her and she won by paying with cash and upping the bid. He was pissed he lost the home because he wanted to add onto his home. HE* wanted to renovate it and add a double basement... but if he couldn’t, no one can.
Me too.
20 people rejected the planning application?
@@amichellep82 ...or maybe he bought it so he didn't have to put up with renovations?
@@andrewtowell6074 nope. When he bought the home he lives in, you know the one right next door to the property with red stripes, he renovated his home for 6 months. Guess what he added to his home... a two story basement WITH A SWIMMING POOL!! Literally the exact same thing she wanted to do to her property. So he can renovate but she can’t? He is just mad because he lost the bid to her. He was going to add onto his home by renovating the red striped home to match his current residence. So again, if he would’ve won/bought the property he would’ve renovated it the exact way she would’ve but because he didn’t get the home then no one can renovate?! I can’t explain this any more clearly but I feel as if this is too confusing to explain. LOL
Joke’s on the neighbour. A quick search showed that the house got demolished and she’s now able to rebuild there. Glad he got to experience even more noise now!
Good for her!
Good for her! Love her!
😭😭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
Yep I did search too! She won, the structure got demolished and under renovation but only a single basement. It was still fine.
And now she was suing the city planning for denying her multiple requests. Attagirl!

I just love how she does her lips whenever she makes a point
And that little glint of the devil when she raises her eyebrow. 😂

That devious smirk, where she's trying not to crack a complete smile!
Anyone who allows their internal sense of happiness and well-being to be affected by the colour of their neighbours property has the emotional intelligence of a very young child.
Not really. Seen a case where someone painted their house bright green. Sun reflecting caused the neighbours inside glaring green. Had to tone it down to a pastel. Made sense to me. If you white walls are being "redecorated" into the color your neighbour chooses to put on their facade. You will be seeing it all the time, when they only when ariving. Save the strong colors for inside if you like them. On the outside, mind those that will be looking at it more.
@@tjallingdalheuvel126 The light being reflected from their *neighbours* house caused the light inside their own house to look bright green?
I'm sorry, I don't believe you.
@@tjallingdalheuvel126 your example might make sense if it actually affects the "lighting" of a neighbour's house. None of the complainants had such solid concerns. It just seemed that the "looks of it" annoyed them, as the original comment implies, emotionally, not in any sort of practical function and sense.
This is the stripe painted on temple walls in Tamil Nadu , India. I simply LOVE it!!!!!! Keep going girl!!!
