Flue termination over next doors drive

[shyguy2005]

Went to quote new combi for a combi and currently the flue terminates straight out horizontally over next doors drive. Is this allowed as long as neighbours don't find it a nuisance ??

Customer says neighbours are really nice and won't mind but just want to double check if it's allowed in the first place.

as long as it meets gas safe/mi's regs

I dont think you can, as an existing its ok , but a new one no, this falls under building regs, they may be good neighbours now but when they get sick of the plume !!! Well .
Somebody will confirm

When I first spotted it I thought hang on....

Relocation required then!

What happens if the neighbour decides to build a 2 story extension? This could put your customers in a potential dangerous situation. The regs are there for a reason.

or they decide to sell up to a right grumpy git, then he calls building control on you for fitting a flue against regs?

There appears to be an ample supply of these available - these days !

No, it's not allowed, next door neighbour cannot allow you to break the building regs,

neighbours will probably not be so nice when the condense drips on the cars paintwork.

Surely the MI's will state 300mm from boundaries

If the flue is already there, the neighbour can't build within 600mm of it.

Flues shouldnt terminate over or onto somebody elses property.
