I have a similar issue. Building Control advised that it is not their issue.
Building Control said take it up with the gas registered engineer who
installed it. Gas Safe have guidelines for flume installation and that is
what they are, guidelines not regulations. They say in their document that
their guidelines can not be enforced. Therefore, it seems, people are free to
place pipes over other peoples boundary so long as the gas pipes have been
fitted by a gas registered engineer and the council will say all is ok. The
only way is go through the courts either on a nuisance case, trespass or
inability to build on your own land. Costly and no guarantee the pipes will be
moved. Such a weird system. Building regulations and Gas safe have no powers
where a flume is placed. Build Control Officer don't want to get involved in
boundary disputes. My point is should nt they not allow people to place pipes
on private land? how is that safe? When someone wants to build on their own
land all adjacent pipes that emit fumes and steam will hit the boundary wall.
Confused and perplexed. I would never do this to anyone. Its so petty.
