I'm well aware of what ops put - just don't see the problem with parking a few meters further forward and telling guests to leave a gap in the interest of keeping the piece.

And keeping the peace and standing up for yourself is not one and the same!

Ops post reads as though he wants to create something that could potentially be avoided

Maybe its a busy street with no where else to park.

I'd agree with some others just to leave it, I've seen first hand how messy these things can get! In that case it ended with several peoples cars being badly damaged & although everyone knew who was responsible, with no witnesses the police couldn't take it any further. Is it really worth it?

Could he simply be replacing the fence with a heavy duty brick wall?

no, the builder says its an extension but wont elaborate, it's a four-sided excavation roughly 7m x 5 m with footings several feet deep. The fence is shared so he can't replace it without my consent though according to some ppl here I should should just let him do what he wants, easy to say when it's not happening to you and it's not your house that's going to be less valuable and saleable

Wait a few months, then report it to the council.

No. Get it stopped now - it's a lot harder to get buildings pulled down than it is to stop them getting built in the first place.

Also, I would speak to Building Control at your local council. If it hasn't got planning consent then it's very unlikely it's being constructed compliant to Building Regs.
