My next door neighbour has transformed her property into a primary school
My next door neighbour has transformed her property into a primary school. Now we are all inundated with noise from schoolchildren. It’s unbearable. . All the home owners next to this primary school are furious and do not approve of this school. We could not find that this property was re-zoned for business. The school owner at no point informed anyone that she’ll be opening a school.

This article sets out an example just like yours: http://www.property24.com/articles/be-careful-running-a-home-business/12701. If her property is NOT zoned for business, then it must be a single dwelling residential. That needs to be discussed with your council / municipality. In short, lodge a complaint with your council / municipality, your home owners association, and the department of education. Does she have a business licence that will allow her to legally operate a playschool from this adjoining property? You should check with her, and you can also check with your municipality. She should have also obtained permission from her neighbours and also from the Dept. of Education!
