What are my rights to protect my property from flooding, even if that causes flooding to worsen for a neighbour?
Am I within my rights to install flood defence or could I find myself in legal trouble if that person’s property gets damaged from
diverted water and subsequently sues me for damages?

Interesting question, i would have thought you have a right to protect your property but it seems that may come with some risk see this link;

Work with your neighbour to find a solution that doesn’t cause increased problems for either of you?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
