Homeowners using the law to remove the scourge of modern suburbia could face bills of up to £650.
And complainants will have to prove that all avenues have been exhausted to settle any dispute amicably.
Environment and Public Services president Senator Philip Ozouf said: ‘We believe that government should introduce a new law to help tackle this problem.
In developing the Draft Law, the committee has tried to strike a balance.
The Draft Law will establish the powers to resolve serious problems, while also encouraging people to act responsibly and limit the need for unnecessary government intervention.’ Deputy Terry Le Main, who took the proposition to the States to introduce the law, is not happy about the scale of fees.
Although the law contains a provision to waive fees, he wants cast-iron assurances that nuisances will not be allowed to persist should complainants lack the money to put their case.
