I have a big solid brick gable end wall on the side of my house with no windows, an obvious case for external insulation. The wall is against a shared passageway around 4 feet wide (possible a bit wider), so there could be issues there, since I'd be shrinking the passageway a bit.


I wondered about this in a similar situation. Does anyone own the
passageway? Sometimes peoplehave a right to pass down it but nobody
actually owns it. In that case, I guess you could argue that you have
not obstructed it. Why not download the deeds of nearby houses (fro
mland registry) and see if any of them includes it.

if you already have a sewer vent pipe (for example) on that wall you
might argue that you will not be obstructing it any more than it is
already.

but if someone owns the passageway they might object to you taking a
bit of their land.
