The heap is at the bottom of the garden, and he has trees the other side of
the fence, no sitting area or patio. I think he only noticed it because he
was having a tidy up after the winter. I was so surprised I couldn't think
of all the sensible replies that come to mind now, like recycling,
environmentally friendly, no cooked food etc!
We've been here 2 and a half years, and besides telling me not to take in
parcels if asked to by the postman, they haven't really had much to say up
until now.

Sounds like Obnoxious Neighbour Syndrome to me. I've got one of them -
perhaps we should introduce them to each other...

Mine's just a know-it-all who has nothing better to do with his retirement.
His wife went out and found a part-time job shortly after he retired!

Try contacting Environmental Health at your local council and ask them if
you have sited the heap correctly and if he has any grounds to complain. If
you get in first, you'll have some amunition should they back you up.
