If you dig a hole make damn sure it's safe and that they can't fall down it/twist their ankle/have to take a precautionary trip to A&E/make a claim. Stick a board over it at least and take a picture if it's left unattended. I think with w@nkers like this you have to try and think ahead. Possibly even a polite registered letter / email informing them of what you're going to do 

 

They may be thinking that their erecting scaffold for inspection purposes could delay your build...which it likely would. First thing is the scaffold will go up wide enough to cause your builder grief in marking out etc. Then there'll be a delay in them taking it down.....

@Bobby Dazzler, have you dug that hole yet?, can’t move on till you do! If you’re bothered about grief then pay some thick skinned (large) guys to do it for you (but warn them about stroppy neighbours). Ffs it’s your land ??.
