My neighbor has started work and dug into my garden and moved man hole without permission

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.59 PM

Hello, next door have just bought property, knocked to say looking at planning permission for an orengery, only a couple of meters in size and asked for surname to put on paper work. To come home a couple days later builders took fence down dug a trench in my garden, lifted my flags out and removed all waste pipes also moved the man hole more into my garden! I called the council who are going to come out as they only put a planning request in on Monday - due to be reviewed by February 2019! Also united utilities as they have moved all pipes. Help!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, it is against the law to move a sewer across a boundary without the correct permissions from the utilities as it is there property. It's called a build over license . I'm sure the utilities will impose legal action against the builders . Hope this helps.
