That probably means scaffolding so that the wall doesn't look awful on your side.It would be an incredibly unusual situation for it to be impossible to scaffold a house without blocking access - it may cost the neighbour if the scaffolder needs to hire in specialist parts (e.g. ladder beams) or have advice from a structural engineer on the design of temporary works, but I'm struggling to think of a scenario where it would be impossible to maintain access to a domestic garage while safely scaffolding the neighbouring building.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
