Next door has vented their cooker hood into my back yard and the vent is opposite my back door and in front of my window .when they cook and i have door or window open all their cooking smells come into my house. are they allowed to vent out into another properties oudoor space.

A photo or drawing would be nice, so we can visualise this. I'm struggling to visualise how in terraced houses the neighbour could vent directly into your back yard.

I'm picturing terraced houses with half width (possibly single storey) kitchens on the back.

So this cooker hood vent would be coming out of the back wall of next doors kitchen (the boundary wall) into the OP's back yard.

Cheers Inky Pete. If that's the case then I think his neighbour is breaking the law. Round here these sort of terraced houses seem to be built so that the extension bit at the back face each other (every second house) if that makes sense. The extension bit, is in effect, semi detached, sharing the central wall with the next door neighbour, t'other way.
