Do I have to have a plume displacer?

I had a GasSafe inspection following the installation of a Baxi HE15 boiler. He said all the gas and boiler stuff was fine but the flue was too near my neighbour's/my boundary (20cm when it should be 30) so I should divert the plume with a kit from Baxi. The installer's engineer came to measure up and he said that it would be a long tube going up to the roof! Well, my neighbour isn't happy as he's thinking of selling when the market improves and he thinks it would look 'awful' and I agree. He says he'd rather have the plume, which he's hardly noticed anyway. I'm inclined to forget about the displacer so can I do that? As it's not a gas issue can Gas Safe insist? What would you recommend? I'm really interested to know the best way forward.

If your current neighbour isn't worried, leave it.

If the new neighbours start complaining, change it then. Doubt they will though.
