In a back garden. Would this be:

a) a line down the middle of the boundary wall, or
b) the boundary wall itself

TIA.

I asume its the centre line of the boundary wall, but any works to the wall itself could be taken as boundary infringement. Its a tricky one. Some offices still outline sites to the centreline of the road which I suppose is similar

Thanks Slig.

Would a gutter (on an extension) that overhangs the boundary wall, but not the centreline, be considered as overhanging the common boundary?

I can see where this going and while I dont want to stifle debate its still going to end up with legal issues involved. As stated on numerous occasions we dont do legalities so we cant allow any further debate on the matter.

The OP need to see a solicitor if there is an issue with a boundary or overhanging gutters etc.
