Indeed, should have been wouldn't.

Why? In order to mitigate costs you could pay under protest with the
right to request a refund if the neighbour had no right to net over
your property?

At least you can then get on with things, and if he doesn't agree, just
say he'll be saddled with the daily rate of the builder and labourers
at £x00 per day?


Why do all that before picking up the phone to the council and asking
building control as to legality of it? Shouldn't take long.


If it's illegal advise the neighbour and give him a reasonable time to
sort it out. It it is legal, then negotiate with the neighbour to
re-site the extractor outlet.


You might even find that the neighbour's extension was built without
Building Control's knowledge.


I would be surprised if it was done without BC.

If it was, it would be useful to look at the plans either way.
