Got an electrician coming to wire in my new cooker hood on Monday.

Had been planning to get a carbon filter and use it in re-circulating mode, but now thinking again...

The cooker hood will be on an external wall, but the other side of the wall is the neighbour's garden. Would I need any kind of planning permission to install a vent here, or would agreement from the neighbour be OK?

thx for any help...

you're not allowed to discharge any gasses over your property line.. that includes kitchen extracts, toilet extracts, boiler flues etc..

so you'll have to find an alternative route to vent it..

as a related question ( and one the OP may find an answer to usefull ), I have to vent mine through the roof space and out of the soffit.
the joists run the right way and so on, but it's the ducting that I'm getting confused on...

I've looked in screwfix for a round to flat adapter and a vent for the soffit, but the different dimensions listed confuse me somewhat..
anyone have any idea which bits I need to adapt from kitchen ectract ( 125mm dia ) to a flat duct and then to a vent?
 
it's the second one that I need.. but it just says "appliance adapter".. that's what confused me.. doesn't mention what size hole it is, just what size flat it takes..

My combi vents over my neighbours property (2nd floor) are you saying this is wrong? If so what could my neighbour do about it?
