    If you're not looking at moving anytime soon then your neighbour might move out by the time you do want to move so may not be an issue. I know it's annoying to have a bad neighbour but I'm not really sure what advice you want if they are not doing anything illegal on their land.

    Have the works he has done up to party wall caused any identifiable damage to your property?
    As said, the waterways encroachment and the buildings he has had removed should be ignored as unfortunately you are not a party to either.
    The only 'revenge' I can see you having is if the canal path is a public right of way, then tip off the militant ramblers about it being blocked...
