Neighbour encroaching on property

[Guest]

Please can someone help. I have a neighbourvthat has constructed a piece of perspect that runs rain water off of his coping on his wall directly onto my conservatory wall. This means when it rains water sits on the perspect damaging my wall and causing damp.
Do I have a right to remove this.?

What did your neighbour say when you talked about your concerns with them?

As rugal*first talk to your neighbours about your concerns..

A landowner must ensure that water collected on his property does not cause damage when released.* There*should be sufficient drainage and runoff should be diverted away from the boundary.*
If the water has damaged your property you may be entitled to sue your neighbour for the cost.*
To prevent further damage you could apply for an injunction against your neighbour although* it may*be cheaper to install drainage yourself and claim for this cost.*

Best all round though*to work out a*solution in the first instance with your neighbour* rather than go down the legal route.
