Bit of an update, spoke to neighbour again, he's had his solicitor go over all the paperwork and searches again and there is definitely no easement in place on his property and they've said even if severn trent have failed to properly raise whatever easement they think is in place they won't be able to enforce it.
His building control officer has said if there's no legal easement on the title he'll pass his build, he'll probably just need a legally drafted letter from his solicitor stating so.
To show willing the neighbour is getting his mate with the digger round on Tuesday to dig 1m of ground on his boundary, he says from experience as our ground is clay once your past the top soil you can see if it has ever been dug up as it stays a different colour, he showed me this with where some of the other services have been dug in his garden and it makes sense.
He's say if he can't find any trace on his property he's going to get on building to the full 6m as building control are willing to support it.
