My next door neighbor and her builder are trying to pressurize me into agreeing to the removal of my boundary fence and mature hedge in order to enable them to build an extension to build right up to the boundary line.
They want the back of their new build to become in effect become a new boundary and want access from my side to render the wall of their extension wall .
They do not plan to continue with a proper fence the full length of the garden. They want to only partially replace it with concrete posts and wooden overlapped fencing.
Their digger has damaged and mangled some of the wire fence in the lower part of the garden already whilst clearing their site and they don't appear to care. I ended up having to re- erect part of the fence in a piecemeal fashion myself as repeated requests to have it put back up in it's original position were repeatedly ignored.
I dislike this type of fencing as it not mentenace free and am not willing to let them bully me any further but need advice as to what can I do next?
I have looked at the other treads re boundary issues and someone has mentioned the possibility of letting them build a fence on their side bit 18" from the current boundary. Is this worth considering and does anyone know where details on this could be found and even more important is it in any legal stature /building regulation ?
Advice please as to how to handle this situation would be much appreciated.
