Neighbours wood burning stove pipe to overhang my property

OP
Great result and I think they are sincere as they've already considered the much more expensive option.
Re smoke, i leave it but I can understand your concerns. The only way yo find out is to contact the planning dept at your local council. If there are rules, they may not be happy you grassed them up

Therefore, tell next door in a helpful way you had a friend that had a log burner and ventilation through the roof etc was not done properly and they were ut at risk so it may be in their interest to contact the council. If there are rules where they stick to their new outlet, they will be advised and I'm sure they'd follow the rules.

Also, the flue should ensure the exhaust is sent out over the roof tops, but there's no accounting for air currents that could bring swirls down on occasion.

Well, this is impossible to ensure or check. There are BR for this, and, depending on the position, the flue can be lower than the ridge.

Can see a business opportunity for some, fitting smoke/ air quality monitors outside properties.

These wood burners, which supporters to love, are apparently far more polluting than most other forms of heating.

They give you a great sense of independence from the powers that stupidly put us in a fuel-critical situation, though! If the lights go out and the CH conks, we'll still be warm.

Now now remember the guidelines, anyway will be popping out to Dunelm later,looking for a couple of thermal throws preferably with a good smug rating.

@Eldi_Dos if you find something you like, buy an extra one!

I bought 2 XL fleeces a couple of weeks ago to line 3 door curtains with (I was going to slice one in half for a perfect fit). Decided to fold them in half instead so they're double thickness, so I needed one more. Went in yesterday to pick one up - the XL size is now smaller (230x255cm is now 220x220cm) and has near doubled in price (£20 from £12)!

Guidelines? I'm not being unkind to any other poster, just saying a wood burner may have real advantages in these times of 'permacrisis.' It would be the same with the other 'rural' fuels like, oil and LPG, which people may store personal supplies of, but these days their systems usually rely on electricity.
