Wild Edges, unfortunately they don't have any windows along there,only a solid brick wall,so they wouldn't see it, they wouldn't know if it was on or not. I do like your thinking though, not sure if it was a joke, but hey hoh, lightened the mood. I will post a diagram of wall/garage etc later. I asked him once if he'd had a burglary or attack he laughed said no.we don't live in a dodgy area, no idea why he wants so much security devices. Lights, front,side,back,same with cameras.
Hello fairy,yes that's our garage and that's the wall, unfortunately you can't see it from there, because of the substation. It's the other end of the wall he's done his attaching to. Hubby discovered last year, just past the substation is a concrete path that runs along the back of the garages, with a gate, will post a picture again taken today,I defy you to see the path or gate! Hubby has X ray vision! We're assuming that this access is to paint the window/do repairs.
I'm still very confused. Do you mean your garage, or part of it, forms part of his garden boundary? I had that situation here. The party fence stopped at the junction with the garage, and the rear fence meets the garage farther along the side I wanted to have climbers right along the length of that fence, so I put in a short length of fence in front of the garage wall.
Until posting this, I'd completely forgotten what the garden looked like when I moved in!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Wild Edges yes that's it, well done you! there is a fence the other side of the path along his garden, which has rather "shortened" over the years, the bird boxes are nearer the path,but great effort. I know it's really difficult to explain. But no, our garage doesn't form part of his boundary.
He has some how managed to get more garden, same out the front, there Is a brick pillar in the centre and his "garden"(am using the term advisedly)is now quite a few inches past it,into our border.
If the path isn't supposed to be part of the neighbour's garden then I think you could, if you wanted, clear it of brambles etc back to the boundary line to get to the back wall of your garage. There might be ructions but if the path is as @wild edges 's drawing, you have the right to use it to access the back wall of your garage to clean/paint/repoint/check for damp etc. The neighbour might kick up a fuss and make things unpleasant (or even more unpleasant) for you even though he has no right to take over the path.
It might be worth contacting whoever owns the substation if it's their land that's full of brambles, explain the situation and ask them to clear it. The worst they can do is nothing.

If it is, that bit of wall surely belongs to you? Is that where he's putting things?

Do you mean the long sides of the garage?
