Our block has a 5m X 50m area on one side which is a right of carriageway for neighbour. This ROW also runs through two neighbouring properties.
The neighbour with ROW over our land has mentioned he is putting in a water easement along our land as he sold a block of land and the new owners don't want the water running on it anymore.
We have not been formally asked, merely told in conversation by the ROW neighbour.
In addition to this, he has graded the road and is behaving as if it is his
This is the only access to his property.
He has had access to ROW for over 30 years but has only started busing it recently as block he sold had a driveway to his house on it.
Now he is using the ROW.
Question s:

2. Can he put in a water easement with out permission from ROW holders?
3. If he does it it adverse possession?
4. What advice to prevent it happening?
