Flues shouldnt terminate over or onto somebody elses property.
Yes, but there's thousands that do.
There are many on the small estate where my Son lives.

Snowhead are you saying if my next door neighbour has his boiler flue on my land I cannot build my extension? I cannot see that happening
It's no different to capping a chimney with a working fire below it, you wouldn't and couldn't do it.
Building control wouldn't let you build up against the flue.
The flue would be existing, it should never have been there but as a neighbour how are you going to get around it without negotiating to have it moved.
I've seen flues on end terraces discharging over public foot paths at high level.

building control wouldnt care as planning would have been passed and the new build would go in and the flue owner would have to sort themselves out as they are in the wrong and its not their neighbours problem!
If the existing flue contravenes building regs you can force them to move it.
If they sell up the new owner has every right to insist on it being moved.
How would you "Force them"?
A private prosecution for failing to comply with Building Regs?
Has anyone on here ever moved a boiler / flue as a result of a Legal ruling obtained by a neighbour?
Yes, but there's thousands that do.
