If I recall correctly he's not entitled to do this but by the same token you cannot go on his property to remove it.You probably wouldn't have minded so much if he had asked permission first. Starting to sound like neighbours from hell, merry xmas

I would think you can ask him to take it down, if he won't you could get advise maybe from the council planning department or somewhere else. If there is no fence, take it down yourself. I can't work out how your house is on your neighbours property, is there no path?

He has no right to do this without prior permission from you. Ask him very kindly to remove it, if he does not and it really bothers you, which I am sure it will, you will have to start the process of contacting your solicitor or council. Put your foot down and get it sorted sooner rather than later, or before he starts putting more stuff up.

This is a trespass and could be criminal damage to your property. He should have asked first, if you don't want it fixed to your house, and it doesn't have to be because he could have erected a post on his property, then you can ask him to remove it and repair the damage within say 28 days. If he doesn't do this you can charge him the cost of removing it or take him to court for possesion of your property.

Check first exactly where your property boundary is because the eaves of your house should cover your property, meaning your boundary could be a foot or so further over and anything on your property can be removed but you must not go further than your boundary.

He can't do much if you have to go on his property to remove it after all he has already trespassed on yours.
