You're post isn't very clear tbh, what in particular are you asking and in what context?

You cannot lawfully overhang into your neighbours airspace unless the deeds have been amended even if there is already an overhang.
That's not to say you cannot get his permission and go ahead and do it and he may be perfectly happy with the situation. But be aware that without a mention of the overhang in the deeds your neighbour (or more importantly if he moved the new neighbour) can at any point lawfully expect you to remove the overhang even if it means you cannot drain your property.
Its always best to avoid an overhang if at all possible as these problems can have a habit of arising somewhere down the line, usually following a minor disagreement between existing neighbours for some unrelated matter or a new neighbour moves in.
The forum is littered with such threads.
just because Approved Planning Permission drawings may show an overhang it does not give any lawful right to overhang.

At not time will your property "be allowed" to be in your neighbours space. This will be trespass.
As for permission from the neighbour, be careful. Should the property next door ever be sold then what it to say that the new owners are going to be happy with your trespass?
