can we fit a gas fire with powerflue on external wall bordering neighbour’s drive?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under wall borders | 3 Comments »

We want to fit a hole in the wall powerflue gas fire, the wall is external but borders our neighbour’s drive. There is an 8′ gap between the two detached houses and no windows or doors on either our wall or the neighbours facing wall. Is this allowed? We have had conflicting advice from different gas fitters. Also the neighbouring house is empty but up for sale so we have no neighbours as such to ask permission etc. please can anyone help???

The corgi guidelines say you can’t flue within a metre of your neighbours property, that is the property, not the house.

    the laws that be say 300mm from boundaries , as your house wall is technically the boundary no you cant , your best option to me anyway is a flueless gas fire not requiring a flue only the correct permanent ventilation
