As adjoining neighbours you should definitely have had notice of any proposed building near your property. You can raise merry hell with the Council, who are legally obliged to sort it out. Contact a solicitor to do it properly. Once again, good luck.

But, it does raise some questions about who built it. I know from his neighbours on Bulkington Lane that no construction traffic or building materials have driven into his garden, by day. What kind of a builder does all that under cover of darkness? I don't think I want to know the answer to that. There are some very shady builders working in this area and they have lots and lots of money. People keep turning up at my doorstep with stories... More b/c.
