Any advice gratefully accepted.
We live in a normal 3bed semi with a shared wall running down the side to the front between ourselves and the house we're not attached to. To make a long story short the pillar at the end of this shared wall is uncapped (never capped previously) and as we're having work done on our driveway we'd like to cap it and the one matching on the otherside stuck to our front wall.
Unfortunately we share this pillar with one of those weird neighbours who have no taste and who have an objection to absolutely everything!
Despite the fact that the brickwork on top of the pillar is starting to crumble from weather effects they still do not want us to cap the pillar. I've even offered to pay for it and to pay for one for the pillar on their own wall to match in and get our builder to put it on.
Needless to say to no avail. As this is a shared pillar and as I feel that the capping would help preserve it can I unilaterally place a pillar cap on it without their agreement?
By the way I'm not planning swooping eagles or lions rampant - just a plain old sloping capping stone.
