There are always more important things in the world than the stuff raised in pretty much every thread on this forum. That's the nature of the forum.


This was an incredibly loud ; drums, shouting, music wedding at a venue licensed to stage such events in the future.

So ,yes, it is (relatively) important for those who had it inflicted upon them to contact the school about:

Licensing

Why there wasn't a contact number for the organisers (schools are required to provide an out of hours contact number)

The proposed frequency of any future events

Why neighbouring streets weren't advised that such a loud event was going to take place

What the school considers its duty to be as a good neighbour to those in the local area who had this inflicted upon them (this isn't like a one off party, this is a business benefiting financially at cost to non-benefiting neighbours)


And if the school aren't contacted then they'll just think it's ok to do it again.

As it was this event met the criteria for calling out the Southwark noise team.

Seems their licence for music it to 11.30 only, a complaint would be fair.

And these conditions too maybe?


845 - That after 20:00 Hours NO drinks are to be consumed outside the building (including balconies and terraces)


846 - That after 20:00 Hours other than for the purpose of entry and egress all doors are to be kept closed.


847 - That after 20:00 Hours all windows are to kept closed.

"Get a life". One of the most overused clich?s along with "national treasure", "the rest is history" and "what's not to like?" If you're going to criticise other posters, please find a more original phrase.


And from your posting history I see (a) that you no longer live in ED, so any noisy ED events won't disrupt your sleep, and (b) you have used the phrase "get a life" in at least one previous post; it's obviously one of your favourites.

The above conditions - definitely.

As someone that has played in a functions band and done loads of weddings, 12:30 is not normal if there was a band (someone mentioned drums, so guessing there was). And somewhere like Alleyns is very residential for that sort of thing.


I don't think it's unreasonable to complain, it's a family area with lots of young kids.


Complaints could lead to them being forced to fit a sound limiter, which is common in that sort of venue.

This was not a one off party held by a local resident. It was a commercial venture run by an organisation for a profit. There would have been specific conditions attached to their licence. If, when faced with breaches of the licence, the attitude is "Why complain? People were having fun. You're a load of moaning gits", what is the point of having a licence in the first place if its provisions are not going to be monitored/enforced?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
