Two Inches.
'It might be two inches but it is my property': Pensioner, 87, who drilled holes through his neighbour's garden wall REFUSES to stop his campaign unless the wall is knocked down and rebuilt further back
A pensioner drilled holes (top right) in his neighbour's garden wall claiming it encroached on his land by two inches (bottom right), and erected placards accusing the family of being thieves. Despite a £90 fine for damaging the wall with a drill, Ewen Taylor (left) is refusing to stop his campaign until the wall is replaced to the same 'height, depth and width as it was before'. The 87-year-old has accused his neighbours of 'illegal building work' and says they should sue him if they want him to take his signs down.

Because he is a madman on a mission. It will cost tens of thousands of pounds to sue him. Because he will argue about absolutely everything.
Why does this loon think that it is the Council's concern whose land it is? Nothing to do with them. Everything to do with the 2 neighbours, on what is (mostly) a Civil matter.
There was a time when people built walls entirely inside their own property. and left a small margin, of say 2 inches, to be sure not encroaching. Those days are gone-people tend to build right up to the line now-so new walls are often, say, 2 inches over from the old one.
I said "mostly" Civil. Those signs are clearly Harassment. The Police should be taking action. He can take it to Court, claiming Trespass. He can remove something that is on his land-but, if he is wrong, that is Criminal Damage.
If I was his neighbour, I would be waiting. Because he is 87. And he will likely be dead or in a Care Home before any Civil case for Trespass was resolved...
Has support for his trousers so think it's, talk to the wall time.
