can you put a shed up on boundary instead of a fence?

[haveatye]

Just that really. I suspect there's a regulation against it, can anyone advise?

Neighbours removed a fence panel and put a shed in its place. Right on the boundary. What can I do?

I assume the roof overhangs the boundary?

If the roof or gutter is overhanging then that is a no no.
Does rainwater flow off the roof onto your property as if so, I believe this is not allowed.

Ok thanks. What is the official term for being over the boundary? Trespass?

Encroaching?

They can build right up to the millimetre of the boundary. They should not have anything overhanging your property such as guttering, but the reality is that enforcing this is a lengthy and fraught process that just isn’t worth it unless they’ve really taken the piss. Look up boundary dispute for more info.

Yes,we have.

There may be a height restriction, fences should not be more than 2 metres. So may apply to sheds.

Well yes of course you can, its no different to having a garage as the boundary wall, although as others have said nothing should overhang.

As long as it’s not overhanging and meets height restrictions then why not?

I think it probably does overhang.

Why not keep shed - most of the fence is old and breaking, I want to replace with new fence that goes full length of garden. Their shed takes up a fair bit of the length right now.

If it's your fence they shouldn't have removed it.

Can you post a pic? What I'm imagining looks ridiculous and I can't imagine why anybody would be selfish like that just to gain a few inches.

Of course it's legal if it's their fence and not overhanging... but they must realise it probably looks shite to their neighbour. And if neighbour then wants to put a fence up to make it look more uniform, they lose some of their garden.
