Not without their permission.

Rightly or wrongly though, a lot of people do

Thank you, I have a neighbour dispute on the go, and wanted to remove items from his side of my fence...I think I will just remove them.

[buildersmate]

You're going to have to find a way to do it without going onto his land then.

plus you will need to make sure that whatever you remove is not damaged in any way.

good luck though

Thanks for the concern. I have a longstanding dispute with my neighbour, and he has not only attached brackets to the fence, but has also used a thick tin bracket to hold an armoured cable from his Industrial Shed towards his garage. I have removed this bracket and left the cable to fall. I do not want to assist him in any way, and felt that if I allowed him to connect anything to my fence I would be assisting him. So you may agree, I am being petty, but unfortunately he has P****d me off with his Industrial Shed.
As we are in dispute over the shed, I am not prepared to assist him in any way, so I apologise to the group for my pettiness.

rows with neighbours often spiral out of control very quickly unless both parties discuss the issues in a calm and considered manner.

have you spoken with your neighbour about this? if the shed is an industrial shed, would he have needed planning permission to erect it? have you spoken to the council about it?

Thank you, I agree, disputes can escalate, and this one already has. The shed is 31' 3" in length by 18 feet wide by 11 feet in height. This puts it well above the 30 square metres needed for Building regulations. However, if my Local Council choose to ignore Building reglations, they can , and have. It has been treated as a shed, and now has 3 motor cycles, and cast iron lathes and cast iron drilling machines, and god knows what else. So yes, the dispute has escalated.It did not need Planning Permission as it was within his curtilage, and for the enjoyment of his own property (Stuff the neighbours) and he has got away with building an Industrial Unit, on the cheap, and in a poor quality, and the Council are not bothered. Thank you all for your advice, I have to go and lower my Blood Pressure. Regards John103175.
