Neighbours built Avery overhanging my garden

Any decent handyman wouldn't have built it like that in the first place - unless he had been told that you were ok with it.FtbDreaming said:Well I just knocked and she said it’s not staying like that so I’ll give them a chance to rectify it before I do anything else. I told her it will need guttering too. I don’t think she was actually listening to me but they’ve paid a handyman to do it so next time he’s there I’ll collar him and make sure it’s done properly and within their fence.

Don't leave it like that. Insist on guttering being fitted.FtbDreaming said:They have cut it to within the boundary but when I said the gutter he said it’ll just drip onto the fence which I’m not too happy about.

Your OP included, "the rain off our sheds drips onto this new structure and all flows into my garden. ".
Where did the rain from your sheds fall before the aviary was constructed?
Will it now help rot the aviary roof?1 -
What a monstrosity. And what idiots your neighbours are having an aviary. Same as caging a dog or cat permanently. The noise will probably get right on your thr'pennies too depending on what unlucky birds they have decided to keep caged.
Now I could be wrong - perhaps your neighbours are bird lovers who will rescue injured birds, rehabilitate them, and release them again. Do let us know.2 -
Could you start keeping chickens?
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
That timber flat roof is going to sound like a caribbean band playing in the garden every time it rains. What idiots.

The roof is going to be covered I assume.FtbDreaming said:

Whose boundary is it?0 -
There is still the felt to go on and the fascia board on it if they bother.

The rat problem would worry me more than the overhang
