No he cannot do this. You cannot route water from your property into a neighbors.
Contact your local buidling official immediately and document with pictures. You should also send your neighbor a letter informing them of how the water will negatively impact your property. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and note the time and date whenever you take pictures. I cannot stress this enough.

No the neighbor can NOT do that. It is causing damage to your own property by doing this,and that is criminal damage to personal property. I would take pictures,file a complaint with local authorities and then sue the neighbor for the damages done to your property,fence,etc that this caused. That person has some nerve doing that. Make sure you get a good lawyer and get all you can out of this lawsuit. Good luck

Absolutely not. His water is his problem. What an eye sore that must be. Ask him to pitch the roof toward his property. He's got too much gall for me. Soon he'll be dumping his grass clippings on your property. Take action now before more things get out of hand. Home handymen are thoughtless from time to time, cutting corners whenever possible.

If it's a boundary fence no, his building should be firmly on his side of the boundary, contact the local planning department for regulations, talk to a solicitor if necessary. None legislative action is less costly but legal action might be needed is they won't act reasonably.

he can do but if he does he has to provide a gutter pipe and divert the water to a drain so as it does not cause damage to your property, IF he has had planning permission for the lean to that would be stated in it so if he doesnt you can report him to planning then if he doesnt he has to take the lean to down
also it can be put to the middle of the boundary but cannot overlap your side without your permission, after all you may want to put a decorative finish atop the fence ,, how can you do that now?

You should contact your building permit office, they will know.
If it IS legal put a section of gutter on the ground to catch the water discharge with the exit spout going back onto his property.

Well he shouldn't of done it. However, unless it blocks your light out and it is more than a temporary building I wouldn't worry too much. The 75 mm overlap might protect your fence panel from gettin wet? ? Well you could get a water butt, a small gutter and use the water in summer!

no one is allowed to discharge any services of any kind onto an adjoining property without their permission in writing ..and anyway you are not allowed to go over any boundaries period .speak to your neighbour and tell him ..if he gets upset and does nothing .then ring up building control AND the enviromentalhealth people ..one will sort it for you

no it is a invasion of space
and a cheek if u ask me
constant pools of water
in one place
could damage your
homes foundations
if it turns the underground
clay into mush.a drainage system
guttering etc is relatively cheap and easy
to install,this will direct rainwater away from
your property at least.

No your neighbour needs to put up a gutter on your side to stop the water from going over your side.
