Model planes of any sort are supposed to keep under IIRC 500 feet

Did the O/P mean a toy quadcopter, or an actual helicopter?

Blimey, I never even thought yould have a neighbour with a real
helicopter landing in his field

I never thought it might be a model :-)

That is legal CAA wise, but its a planning and nuisance issue with the
local council I would have thought.

Whether it is a planning issue depends upon whether there has been a
change of use in the land. Building a concrete pad or a hangar probably
would count as a change of use, but use as a helicopter pad incidental
to the use of the land will not necessarily do so.
