===================================
I suppose it boils down to how deeply you want to get on with your
neighbour.... with the outside possibility that it could end up in Court to
the mutual depletion of both of your bank accounts, and loss of value to
both properties should either of you wish to sell.
Your builder must have some sort of idea of how long the lane will be
blocked..... call round with a bottle of decent wine and a bunch of flowers
for Mrs Neighbour, let them know the probable timescale, be generally
apologetic, point out that the situation could easily be the other way round
should HE want work done on his property, there isn't really much either of
you can do about the situation and hopefully it won't be for long; there
will always be access at one end of the lane; just be sypathetic to him but
show how utterly reasonable you are tryting to be - which is no less than
you would expect from him if the situation was the other way round. A lot
cheaper than declaring a "Neighbour Dispute" at house-selling time.
