Blimey, if that's what it's for, the OP shouldn't worry too much. The neighbours will probably be dead from CO poisoning pretty soon.

We moved away from our first house in 1987 because our garden was that length and a neighbour planted leylandii behind. They're still there blotting out the sun and we still send a blooming Christmas card to the guy that planted them, because he became our neighbour in the next house! Life is contradictory and complex.I wouldn't have walked for the outbuilding thing. Some people even liked it. There's no accounting for taste and it's good we're all different.4
