Hi, I'm a newbie, need some advice, please.
We live in a semi detached house, both us and neighbours have an extension at the back. Guttering from our extensions had shared downpipe and drain. The downpipe was exactly in the boundary line, the drain(gully) was on his. He had work done to his extension's roof and put new guttering with a downpipe on the other end of his house. They put that old downpipe onto our side of the fence, where we have no drain, so it means now all rainwater comes straight into our garden flooding it, he removed the old drain on his side. Never informed us about any of this until few days ago we seen what he's done. My question is, what can we do about this now? He shut us off without our consent, the only drain we have is on the side, that means we now will have to put new guttering and connect to the this drain. Our extension was built first in the 80's his was after, he has the orange underground pipes in his garden, we don't.Can you please help? I contacted Building Control, NI Water nobody knows anything. I'm not able to find any drainage plans, but since the extension was built around 40 years ago it was always shared.
