Hi,
My neighbour recently built a large summer house that backs on to my land. It didn't bother me at all until today whilst up a ladder in my garden I noticed that his guttering is directed towards my property and deposits between his wall and my fence. As the summer house is 27 square metres, this is going to be quite an amount of water (its only been there a couple of months during which time we obviously haven't had much rain).
Hopefully the attached photos should show what is going on.
The fence is mine, but before the neighbour moved in he walled off his entire garden. As such the void between the wall and fence is his.
I can't see far enough down to see whether or not the pipe goes into the ground, but common sense would suggest not, as they did not access my land (to my knowledge) and would have had to dig under their wall to achieve that.
Is this legal? And if not, should I be concerned? I assume that the large amount of water will damage my fence (its old, and I'm trying to grow some privet to hide it before it needs replacing). Unfortunately the wall was built without any prior notice, so I didn't have a chance to tidy the cement before it dried, so it does need to be hidden.
Any advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
