Hi, first of all, apologies of this is the wrong forum to post this question.
I’m hoping somebody might be able to give some advice. My neighbours have recently had an extension approved. This is essentially a two storey side and rear extension. The side extension will come right up to the boundary. This morning, my neighbour came to ask if it would be possible to move a manhole from their driveway to within our property boundary next to our house. As their proposed extension would cover this manhole. I told him I would seek legal and construction advice, consider it and get back to him. I’m not particularly keen on the idea for a number of reasons, mainly that should we or a future owner of our property want to extend up the boundary too, that option will not be available because of the new location of the man hole. I also don’t understand why this was not part of the planning application and not considered by his architect prior to submission. Is there anything else I’m missing and am I being unreasonable!?
Any advice, comments or observations are greatly appreciated. I have attached photo showing the proposed new location of the man hole and the boundary line in green.
