I did read the whole thing....it just seemed that statement was a contradiction and confusing..

I see a lot of comments using U.S. rules, the op stated CAA, which indicates out of the U.S.. The simple best answer is checking the UAS rules for his country regarding flying over someone else's property, photographing someone else's property. And check for local ordinances for photographing from a UAS. There may be local privacy laws regarding surveillance, voyeurism, peeping toms, etc. There are some places here in the U.S. that have these laws and prosecute UAS operators for taking pictures of someone's private homes.

Since this is a legal case, check with your attorney to see if you can get a warrant authorizing the taking of the photos to protect youself.

Its also possible he could become violent as he has threatened another neighbour.
He probably has about 15 cctv cameras watching every sq inch.
This neighbour also has a relative in the local police and he has used this advantage a few times so I have to tread carefully.

Oh boy, I could have fun with that neighbor!
Anyhow, instead of a drone, use a balloon. All those pesky rules don't apply and the lawyers will scratch their heads for weeks trying to find a rule which doesn't exist.

I would like to take some images of my neighbours laneway which is a right of way unto another's neighbours land.
I would only be photographing the gates to ascertain the exact number of gates

Can you see that on Google/Bing/... satellite photos ? Are there any local council aerial survey photos you can find ?
