Does anyone know what the regulations are concerning these issues as I
would like to know where I stand before I confront him.


Building regs approved document J - link below.

From my understanding a boiler flue must be at least 600mm away from a
facing boundary. Therefore if his wall (through which the flue projects)
forms the boundary then this arrangement is not acceptable - speak to
Building Control Officer at the local council.

Interesting point. The distance of 1m would allow the safety
requirements to be met - i.e. 600mm or more from facing wall, but the
Building Regulations do define a boundary as "the boundary of the land
or buildings belonging to and under the control of the building owner"
