I don't entirely disagree with you, although the overhang will be about
twenty inches and you have incorrectly presumed that I have a problem
with my neighbour. On the contrary...

However I am concerned firstly with the principle that the Planning
authorities can seemingly permit a structure which could give rise to
future legal actions between the applicant and his neighbours.
Secondly I am thinking of the (distant?) future when the planning rules
may permit development of a building abutting on to the neighbour's
property - what happens then?

"I agree to pay X the sum of one pound a year, for the right to construct
a portion of a roof overhanging Xs property, as shown in diagrams A,B,C
Any subsequent modifications to the structure will not exceed indicated
lines on the diagrams, or X is entitled to remove either any violating
portions, or the structure as a whole up to the property line, at my
cost."
