Introduction

“Borrow trouble for yourself, if that’s your nature, but don’t lend it to your neighbours.” – Rudyard Kipling
“Love your neighbour, yet pull not down your hedge.” – English Proverb
“How seldom we weigh our neighbour in the same balance with ourselves!” – Thomas à Kempis
 
With the intensification of neighbourhoods, it seems that the propensity for neighbourhood disputes is increasing also, whether they are about boundaries, encroachments, fences, retaining walls, trees, flow of water, rights of way or shared driveways. These issues are only exacerbated if your neighbour is about to commence a property development! This paper sets out the law in these areas as well as practical advice as to how to avoid disputes or how to deal with them once they have arisen.
