Drainage Easement and Development Potential
Hello,
I live in Sydney. My land is approx 850 m2 and slopes gently to the street. My upstream neighbour is proposing to put a 1.5m L-shaped stormwater drainage easement along 7m portion of my rear boundary, and then approx 16m down the side of my property to drain at the front of my property at the street. This neighbour is at the rear, and I am the downstream property. They are building a Duplex and require stormwater drainage.
The proposed easement will run adajacent to my house and fence, and there is just 1.7m between my house and fence.
Any insite and advice would be greatly appreciated.

If I knock down the house in the future, how close can I rebuild a house next to the Easement? I.e Is there a setback from the easement?
- What is suitable compensation for the easement?
Any insite and advice would be greatly appreciated.
