Standing with Miss E / Demanding answers
She was at home, not choosing exposure to gunfire. Miss E and Mr J describe repeated shots without warning, fear and disrupted daily life. They supplied the Council with a video link recording her distress. Why do its monitoring accounts give different upper readings? What protection followed? And how did Timothy Edmund Walsh (Circuit Judge, Western Circuit; appointed to Exeter Law Courts on 27 June 2022) deal with the evidence she says she put before the court?

This is the separate shooting-noise strand. Follow the film, diary, Council monitoring and recurrence, then the precise correspondence linking the shooting dispute to the police–Council record and judgment challenge.
The allegation / The decision-makers / The remedy demanded
Miss E and Mr J allege that Torridge District Council’s inadequate assessment, unverified mitigation and handling of renewed complaints prolonged her exposure to shooting disturbance and serious distress. They demand an independent investigation into the decisions—not another recital of the process.
You were asked to protect a resident’s home life. What justified not serving an abatement notice, what checked that the proposed relocation worked, and who will answer for any avoidable harm caused by failures in the response?
HUNT-14: the full demand for records, independent review and redress · March assessment · April mitigation · December response · Video-link sending record
Nine pages put the challenge in writing on 29 March 2024. Read Miss E’s complete letter: the reported 89.9 reading, withheld correspondence and protection assurances. Millichope, McIver and Torridge: where is the point-by-point answer?
Under section 79, the Council must take reasonably practicable steps to investigate. When satisfied that statutory nuisance exists or is likely to occur or recur, section 80 requires an abatement notice, subject to the limited seven-day informal-action provision for premises noise. The demand is to show why the evidence did not lead to that protection and whether the assessment itself was adequate.
The Ombudsman can examine faulty investigation or delay and recommend corrective action and a financial remedy for resulting injustice. A court damages claim requires a separate legal basis and proof of causation; non-service of a notice does not by itself establish personal officer liability. Public-authority negligence: Tindall [2024] UKSC 33.
Account for the decision. Investigate the harm. Put established failures right.

H01 / The supplied film
The film shows Miss E’s distress; her tearful account appears near the end. Her signed diary describes noise that “caused pain in my ears, scared my cats, and obliterated my peace, which led to tears from distress.” The human impact is central to her complaint: this was happening where she lived, worked and should have been able to rest. Read her contemporaneous diary.
A vulnerable person should not have to keep proving that her suffering matters. The Unanswered Record supports Miss E’s demand for effective protection and a reasoned answer. Watch the footage, read the measurements, and ask those responsible: what did you do with this evidence?
Timothy Edmund Walsh: answer the family’s challenge · Torridge: explain the renewed complaint and fresh-form requirement
Mr J confirms this is an edited account of one shooting day. He says shooting lasted around two hours at a time and recurred during the season. The phone report is dated 13 January 2024. The opening personal statement repeats near the end. The full supplied sequence and original sound are retained. Recording and source context.
29 March 2024 / Her written challenge to Matthew Millichope
Miss E sent this letter to Matthew Millichope (Environmental Protection and Community Safety Team Leader, Torridge District Council, in the 15 March 2024 noise assessment) at 18:56 GMT, copying Ian McIver and Mr J. It followed her 20 March telephone conversation with Millichope. The video-link email followed at 19:33. This was a detailed warning about the impact inside her home—not a vague objection to shooting.
Read Miss E’s full letter · 9 pages
“My whole body shook in shock and my ears started ringing and were ringing for quite some time afterwards.”
How was she supposed to feel safe and rest at home? Where did the Council address this account of shock, pain and ringing ears? Page 5 places the monitoring at her bedroom window. She challenges the Council to deal with the lived impact, not merely describe a completed procedure.
On page 6 she challenges Millichope’s account against McIver’s: 50–60 dB with several shots at 80–90 dB, compared with the later assessment’s upper figure of 80 dB. Page 5 records the separate reported figure of 89.9.
McIver and Millichope: identify the recorded event and produce the measurements that reconcile your accounts. Which figures informed the protection decision?
Pages 1–2 record her account that McIver agreed on 5 March to send his draft letter, then said on 7 March he had “checked” and could not. She says Millichope confirmed that two letters had been sent to Daniels and that he had read them.
Millichope and Torridge: produce both letters, Daniels’s response and the decision withholding them. Who made that decision, on what grounds, and why was she directed through FOI for analysis of recordings from her own home?
On page 3 Miss E records McIver’s explanation that the Council first had to work with a business. On page 5 she records being told that an unsatisfactory response from Daniels could lead to consideration of an abatement notice. Identify the policy, the promised measures, the test applied and the follow-up. What made those measures sufficient for the person bearing the disturbance?
The letter also records her renewed trust in McIver and thanks for his efforts; she accepted that the letters had been written and questioned who prevented disclosure. That is the sequence she put on record. Her willingness to welcome a solution makes the next question unavoidable: what effective protection was actually delivered?
Her letter records what she experienced and says she was told. The original measurements, correspondence and decision notes are the records she was asking the Council to produce.
Mr J’s first-hand account
Mr J describes experiencing the gunshots alongside Miss E: frightened animals, the sensation of the house shaking, and reaching to cover their ears. Miss E reports that repeated shooting beside her home left her frightened and in tears. Their complaint concerns the loss of ordinary peace and use of a home, not simply disagreement with a countryside activity.
No resident should have to sustain permanent hearing injury before a serious disturbance receives proper scrutiny. The questions are what happened, who was responsible, how it affected the home and what protection followed.
A direct question to every identified decision-maker
To Timothy Edmund Walsh, Ian McIver, Matthew Millichope, Phil Gilbert (Public Health and Community Safety Manager, Torridge District Council, in the December 2024 correspondence) and Torridge District Council’s responsible senior management:
How was Miss E supposed to sleep or rest in her own bedroom when the Council’s monitoring summary reported gunshots reaching 80–90 dB inside her home?
The Council’s 7 March account gives 80–90 dB; its 15 March assessment gives up to 80 dB. Mr J, who says he was present, identifies the monitoring position as beside Miss E’s bed. Rest during the day is part of ordinary life at home too. Why was she left asking for protection from the same reported disturbance?

HUNT-12: the named accountability question · Walsh’s words and the full challenge
The reported business / The recurring burden
Miss E’s signed January diary describes recurring commercial pheasant shooting. Mr J now gives a further first-hand account: David Daniels told him in person that shooting supplemented his income. Mr J says the syndicate rents land on Daniels’s neighbouring farm and that its representatives told them pheasants were hand-reared for shooting. He describes multiple guns and repeated Saturdays during the season—not an isolated shot. The contemporaneous diary · The witness account and questions arising
David Daniels and the shooting organiser: confirm who operates and profits from this shoot, where and how often it takes place, and what prevents its noise from overwhelming a neighbouring home.
Torridge: what assessment justified leaving this reported recurring disturbance without an abatement notice? Identify the scale and pattern you investigated, the controls considered and what made the mitigation effective. Address the commercial operation described by the witnesses, the indoor readings and the distress together—not as disconnected items. HUNT-13: operation, recurrence and protection
Intermittent shots are not an exemption from nuisance law. Gaps between shots or shooting days do not answer the question of repeated interference. Sections 79–80 address noise affecting health or amounting to nuisance, including nuisance likely to recur. The Council must investigate and, when satisfied the statutory test is met, act under section 80. Section 79 · Section 80
The business description makes the operation’s scale, regularity and controls important matters to establish. Statutory nuisance turns on the actual interference or health risk, not the label attached to the activity. Who assessed those matters, on what evidence, and why was the protection delivered considered enough? The legal duty and health evidence
Before the purchase
What did the sellers know about shooting before the family bought the home? Miss E raised that question in October 2024; the sale questionnaire, formal demand and July 2025 denial now have a separate record.
Read the pre-sale answers, letter before action and fourteen questions · Full source context
No warning. No choice. A demand for protection.
Miss E and Mr J describe gunfire starting without advance notice or an opportunity to put on hearing protection. They had not chosen to attend a shoot. The disturbance reached them where they lived. The burden fell on the resident: fear, interrupted rest, frightened animals and the effort of repeatedly asking for help.
Why should a resident have to bear repeated shooting noise at home without a clear assessment of its impact and the protection needed? Her inability to prepare or avoid the disturbance is a matter to examine—not a reason to leave her carrying its consequences.
Torridge District Council, Ian McIver and Matthew Millichope: where did you assess the reported lack of warning, the exposure inside the home and its effect on Miss E? What protective action did that assessment produce?
Timothy Edmund Walsh: which evidence about those circumstances was before you, how was it evaluated, and what precise reasons explain the findings against her case? Address the alleged disturbance, responsibility for it and the pleaded case. Miss E’s home is not entitled to a lesser standard of scrutiny because she lacks the resources or power of those she challenges.

Two measurement records / Keep both in view
Miss E challenged the differing accounts in writing on 29 March. Her letter records a reported 89.9 reading and describes shock and ringing ears. Read her contemporaneous challenge and the full letter.
The film shows him outdoors filming a sound-meter app. Reviewed displays show retained maxima of 92.5 and 95.9 dB. The separate report shown later records a 103.9 dB maximum and 109.0 dB peak over 25 minutes 54 seconds, with a 73.6 dB average.
These are the phone’s displayed measurements. See the report, settings and measurement context.
The 7 March 2024 summary reports levels generally between 50–60 dB when shots were fired, with several as high as 80–90 dB. The 15 March assessment describes indoor readings mainly in the low 40s to mid 60s, with some gunshots up to 80 dB.
Mr J says he was present and the apparatus was in Miss E’s bedroom, within the stone-walled house. The Council monitoring concerns 27 January and 1 February. 7 March summary · 15 March assessment and placement details
Torridge: explain the difference between “80–90 dB” and “up to 80 dB”. Publish the underlying measurement record and the reasoning. Do the figures use different metrics, selected events or rounding? Miss E is entitled to an intelligible explanation of the evidence about noise inside her own home.
Complaint → monitoring → decision → reported recurrence
December 2023
The Council dates the first approach to 21 December. Miss E’s 3 January email thanks the officer for a 22 December telephone conversation. Earlier August correspondence has not yet been located.
13–22 January 2024
The signed diary describes recurring Saturday shooting, tears, ear pain and frightened pets. The 20 January entry records a bedroom reading and inability to continue working. The family’s phone report is dated 13 January.
17 and 22 January 2024
Mr J’s 17 January email refers to footage showing distress. On 22 January he writes that he will show McIver a seven-minute snippet during his visit. These are the notice and visit-arrangement records.
26 January–2 February
Its equipment captures shooting on 27 January and 1 February. The later assessment confirms measurements inside the property; Mr J says he saw the apparatus in Miss E’s bedroom.
5–15 March
Miss E questions whether the final shooting days represented the earlier activity. The 7 March summary gives an upper range of 80–90 dB; the 15 March assessment describes up to 80 dB and insufficient information to establish statutory nuisance.
29 March 2024 · 18:56 GMT
Miss E sends Millichope her follow-up to their 20 March conversation, copying McIver and Mr J. She records the reported 89.9 reading, shock and ringing ears, challenges the withheld letters and asks why the two officers’ noise accounts differ.
29 March 2024 · 19:33 GMT
Miss E sends Millichope the video link, copying McIver and Mr J. She expressly records that McIver had already been shown it before bringing the Council equipment.
19–22 April
McIver says he received a response that the shoot would relocate. Miss E thanks him and asks whether it will be far enough away and how any recurrence will be handled.
2 August 2024
His email to PC Brad Ithildîn characterises the family’s noise complaint as hostility to countryside sports. The same chain records his position that he preferred to remain neutral.
14–18 December
Gilbert logs the renewed complaint but requires a fresh diary before allocation. He says the Council will not depart from or expedite its process. The reviewed record does not establish the eventual outcome of this renewed complaint.
Torridge installed equipment and replied. What did that process achieve for the resident living with the disturbance? The measurements, conclusions and claimed mitigation must be judged against the complaint and the reported recurrence.
29 March 2024 · 19:33 GMT / The video-link email
Thirty-seven minutes earlier, she had emailed the nine-page letter explaining her challenge. Read the letter and film together: they were sent as two parts of the same submission.
Miss E sent “Video re FS - CASE - 573249905” to Matthew Millichope, copying Ian McIver and Mr J. It contained a video link and this account of an earlier visit:
“Please see the attached video mentioned in my letter, in connection with our matter, which we did show to Ian when he visited us prior to bringing the Council’s sound recording equipment to my house.”
Mr J had already raised the footage and recorded distress on 17 January; his 22 January email arranged to show McIver a seven-minute snippet. The March email is after Millichope’s 15 March assessment, but expressly describes a viewing before the equipment was installed.
Millichope and McIver: confirm who viewed the footage, when, and where its depiction of distress entered your assessment or reconsideration. What did you do with the evidence that reached you?
The law / Ordinary enjoyment of a home
Under section 79(1)(g) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, noise from premises—including land—can constitute statutory nuisance where it is prejudicial to health or a nuisance. Government guidance includes substantial, unreasonable interference with ordinary use or enjoyment of a home. That can occur during the day; there is no general exemption for private shotgun shooting. Where did the Council assess the repeated disturbance described here? Section 79 · Government guidance
Millichope concluded there was insufficient information to establish statutory nuisance. The family challenges the investigation and conclusion. The assessment and its stated reasons.
The US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders explains that intense impulse noise can cause hearing injury from a single exposure, and that extremely loud gunshots can cause immediate, permanent damage. This is a recognised health hazard, not a reason to dismiss a resident’s fear. Actual risk depends on the sound reaching the person and their exposure; this film is not a diagnosis of hearing injury. Medical evidence on noise-induced hearing loss.
A NIOSH field study measured 12-gauge shotgun peaks of 154.6–162.7 dB near the firing line. Those are near-shooter research measurements, not readings at Miss E’s home. Her complaint has its own phone and Council evidence. What competent assessment addressed the exposure at her position and the repeated interference with her life? Government field study, pages 2 and 5. · Measurement context.
Section 80 addresses nuisance likely to occur or recur. The 15 March reply referred to shooting ending after 1 February and an informal approach. What distinguished a seasonal pause from effective prevention? The Act permits a time-limited informal approach for this category of noise; the seven-day provisions run from the authority becoming satisfied about statutory nuisance. Section 80.
Sections 79–80 govern the Council’s statutory-nuisance responsibilities. They do not themselves determine liability in a separate civil claim. Walsh’s words “would not necessarily” are consistent with a fact-sensitive nuisance test; the challenge is to how the actual allegations, evidence, responsibility and pleading were dealt with—not a claim that every gunshot is automatically unlawful.
The promised change / The renewed complaint
“I have now received a response from Mr Daneil stating the shoot will be relocated, this will hopefully be to the satisfaction of all.”
Miss E’s 22 April reply thanks McIver, asks whether the relocation will be far enough away, and asks what happens if the disturbance returns. That response matters: she welcomed a practical resolution. The reviewed chain does not supply the organiser’s original response, a precise relocation plan or proof of its implementation.
After the December renewed complaint, Phil Gilbert required diary sheets before allocating the matter and wrote, “We will not deviate from this process, or expedite an investigation.” His explanation referred to the earlier investigation and the lack of further recurrence correspondence until 14 December. How was the existing history—and the reported relocation—used when deciding the next protective step? Read the December response in context.
The supplied transcript / A direct challenge
“Moreover, the discharge of a shotgun would not necessarily constitute a nuisance, so the allegation is inadequately pleaded in any any way.”
The passage also records Mayo’s denial and a finding that Miss E and Mr J produced no video or other evidence substantiating the allegation against Mayo or his agents. Those are the findings the family challenges. “Not necessarily” is not “never”: the question is whether the particular shooting, the responsible person and the interference were proved.
Sending footage to the Council is documented separately; it does not establish what was admitted at trial. Miss E’s rebuttal challenges the treatment of electronically supplied material. The court’s filing and access record should answer that point.
Timothy Edmund Walsh: what evidence and legal reasoning explain the rejection of this particular complaint? Apply the same protection for ordinary home life to Miss E that the law affords any resident. Her distress deserves a reasoned answer, not a general observation detached from the facts she says she proved.
Mr J alleges that Walsh deliberately dismissed material evidence as part of collusion to protect shooting interests and prejudice Miss E. He seeks independent investigation. The correspondence below establishes that Mayo raised the shooting dispute with police; it does not establish instructions to Walsh or a shared criminal plan. The allegation and its supporting record · Mr J’s wider judgment challenge
2 August 2024 / Mayo’s email to police
At 08:24, Mark John Mayo (claimant in L00BP152; Higher Barley Hayes, Torrington area, Devon) emailed Bradley Ithildîn, Devon and Cornwall Police, PC 18754. He wrote:
“You are aware of the trouble they are causing with the local shooting syndicate, claiming a noise nuisance when the real reason is that they are vehemently anti countryside sports.”
That is a documented connection—not a connection invented after the judgment. It shows Mayo raising the shooting dispute and disputing the family’s motives with the police. In the same chain he says Mr J approached him and neighbours in November 2023 about an alliance against the shoot, and that he preferred to remain neutral. Miss E disputes that neutrality and describes his participation in the shooting group.
Miss E also gives a first-hand account of approaching Mayo after hearing a shot, when she says he referred to being allowed to shoot pigeons. That account should be tested against the denial recorded in the judgment: when and where did the alleged incident occur, what did Mayo say, and what evidence resolves the conflict? Finding old cartridges alone would not identify who fired them or when.
Later on 2 August, Ithildîn wrote that the community-protection-warning process had started after a meeting with a Council ASB officer and his sergeant, using Mayo’s previous statement and exhibits. The decision file is needed to establish what material was passed on and relied upon. Was a resident’s noise complaint assessed on its merits, or characterised through her opponent’s account of her motives?

The family’s allegation / Funding and control
Mr J alleges that the later litigation was retaliatory and that outside interests connected with the shooting dispute were directing or funding it.
