New Boiler terminating onto shared driveway

[plumbdoctor]

went to price a boiler swap up today nice and straight forward only problem being the flue in its current location terminates onto a driveway that is shared with the neighbour any ideas ? can I do this ? and if not can I use a plume managment kit to terminate it back onto soley the custards property ? anyone had any issues ?

do they each own their half of the drive?
is half the drive wider than 600mm?
would the flue position and the plume be a likely cause of complaint from the neighbour?

i think the key question here is, will the plume from the boiler cause a nuisance to the neigbour, if so then a plume kit would be better. there should be no problems fitting one.

 

[plumbdoctor]

I see the 600mm rule, prob is over that but even with a plume kit is that acceptable ? all I wanna know is if i install it and sign it off, could there be any issue in the future have i broke any rules ? with building control or if they come to sell there house cos trouble is to mive the boiler is gonna cost them a lot more of course

make sure the flue position will not allow any condense to be able to drip onto any car parked on the drive if you go ahead with it, it will strip the paint off a car very quickly.

Take a look at Pages 48-49-50 although not conclusive it may help (I am sure I have also seen somewhere recommendation of around 1500mm ? to boundary as the plume going over into somebodies property subject to party wall agreement challenge)

thats if you have a passage way between 2 houses, as your condensate may hit there property if i remember correctly.
