Hell that is no good Steve, bloody nosy neighbours should mine their own business. Your laws must be tighter over there then ours as I would thing 99% of our cars get worked on in the home garage at some time and as long as we keep the noise down at night or early morning, things are fine.

Not quite right Mark.
DIY work in a home shed is fine with N Z Regional and Local Councils; but as soon as you set up a commercial operation (doing work for financial remuneration,) it's a completely different scenario.
In a commercial operation there has to be washing and toilet facilities, off-road parking, access for the disabled, and a whole raft of other rules and regulations to comply with.
How do I know this?
Been there, done that, several times.
Involving different local bodies.
Some Councils even demand two toilets, one for men, the other for women.
And I would assume that it would be these types of regulations that stymied Steve's mate.
