We are looking to extend our property at the back. Neighbour B already did the same extension year back and we are looking to bring ours in line with theirs, give up shared access as they did so we can have a private yard area at the back of our house and then we will use part of our garden (it doesn't show the length of our garden on the diagram) to add a drive up there.
The problem is we have some unused outside toilets which mean when we knock down our outhouse part of it will be sticking into our yard.
There are two toilets inside one belonging to my neighbour A and one to us. I've lived here 8 years and have never had access to it, he blocks the entrance to his outhouse and this part of it feels very much "his" depsite one of the toilets being ours.
We'd ideally like to knock straight down through the outside but it cuts through the toilets. He doesn't use his toilet area at all which makes it even more annoying that it'll be sticking into our yard.
Do we have no choice but to have this sticking into our yard?
If we have to have it we are thinking of saying we are going to brick up the entrance to our outside toilet at his side and then putting a door through on our side to get in and then at least we can access it. We could maybe turn it into a nice outdoor toilet for when we have parties so people don't have to walk through our house.
Does anyone know what the rules are when a neighbour says they don't want you to build an extension? He isn't the friendliest of neighbours
I hope you enoy my diagrams
