Can you elaborate an example where the neighbour is not violating any laws or bylaws, and needs a tailored law against them?
Best I can come up with off the top of my head is a restraining order, when there's obvious potential for very damaging acts, but no crime has been committed yet, or for parole type scenarios.
TBH, I don't know enough of the law to provide an example. There may well be laws that would cover the case, but the ASBOs seem to be the preferred instrument by councils or whoever. If I was the person suffering the harrassment/noise pollution/whatever, I wouldn't really care what legal instrument was used.
