Hi Everyone,
Both me and my neighbour have extensions; they are very close together (maybe a few millimetres apart). My extension is taller than his.
Yesterday, I decided to drill 100mm hole straight through my wall; it will be used for ducting. The hole is facing his side but is above his extension and is on my wall.
Today, he is demanding I remove the vent and 'fill the hole with concrete'. I ask him why and he can't really give me a good excuse. He said it infringes his property (its a discreet vent BTW, protrudes a few mill from the wall). I think he wants it removed because of his roof felt. He had his roof redone and the roofers covered our exterior walls in felt too.
In any case, this has gotten a little silly and I am very disappointed at his response and completely uncompromising position; he has even threatened to 'do it himself' (i.e. fill the hole and remove the vent) which is ludicrous.
I will be getting in touch with the council tomorrow but it would also be nice to hear what people on here my have to say.
