Not sure which council you have, but up here (North Shore Auckland), all our neighbours have sheds right on the boundaries and always have! Not houses yet, but that's coming soon! Why are you worried about it? I don't see it as a problem - not like trees that cause problems with big roots and overhanging branches. And don't get me started about the pyromaniac who lived next door in our last house, who had a big bonfire right outside our kitchen window. We even had the fire brigade arrive one Sunday as someone up the road had thought our house was on fire (something we feared every time we went out or away for a holiday)! Even after telling the firemen it was next door's bonfire right on the boundary, it didn't stop. I had hoped they would be told not to do it any more, but No.

It's a huge shed with no guttering, ATTACHED to a metal fence in an area prone to waterlogging and sinkholes. It's against Council regulations. The Council guy agrees it's against Council regulations and has told them it has to be moved. It may not be a problem for you but I didn't ask for your opinion about that or for the amusing story about the pyromaniac but for advice on how to proceed with the Council.
