Thanks for everyones help with this. I got him to remove it as we had just put our house on the market and I from what you have said, this would cause all kinds of issues. There used to be a drain away near there apparently but it's under where he has extended out his house to enclose the alcove, hence why he wanted another one. Makes sense and I think he'll look into it a bit more now before trying again. Thank you once again as your comments made it a lot easier for me to tackle with him.

He made it sound like he was fixing an issue with having just one downpipe for three houses but I wish with hindsight I had queried this more.

Yes, he added that. I think where it looks raised is just where he's cut it to put the down pipe in. He thought there was too much water coming down into one pipe I think. I thought about removing the end but like you say, it's going to pool around my house.

Hi all My next door neighbour has been playing with our drain pipes and has done what you can see in the pic. All I can think is that this is going to cause flooding. Shouldn't this be going into a soak away? My house is the one with the gravel that this is sitting on. Previously there was nothing coming down there, just the other side of his house which is still there too.
