Not being registered is not the same as not being owned.0

"and have put gates on either side effectively blocking access to the rear of both my own and my neighbours property."
I would read that as ALLOWING access, unless of course the gates are locked.
I would be making a point of regularly using the access, particularly in the summer pick a time when he is in the garden to wheel your bin through to make the point you are using the access.0 -

You do have a right to quiet enjoyment of your own property.
If you can't access it then it must be difficult to enjoy it.
If his work is causing drainage problems then he may be causing damage to your and neighbouring properties.
Had you thought of consulting a solicitor? Does your house insurance cover legal expenses?0 -
Good point re house insurance and legal expenses, I will check0

One additional and relevant concern is that if everyone on my street did the same as my troublesome neighbours, there would effectively be 12 gates that I would have to open to reach my own garden, and the undulating and changing surfaces could / would become a hazard. I have reported this to the planning enforcement agency as my neighbours have also raised the height of my own garden wall by 3 bricks implying it is a party wall when infact it isn't, it is built purely on my land and finishes along their boundary, so my neighbours really are lording it at the moment with very belligerent attitudes0

Well they certainly forgot to read the good new neighbour etiquette guide:rotfl:
Why would they even think building up your wall would be acceptable. Take your deeds to them point out the error or their ways seek a resolution and (if you will actually do it) threaten legal action if they won't. Don't do this unless you are going to follow through with it though.0 -
Get quotes for removing these and making good the top of the wall and give them to your neighbour.my neighbours have also raised the height of my own garden wall by 3 bricks implying it is a party wall when infant it isn't, it is built purely on my land and finishes along their boundary,
Take regular photographs to show any changes.0
