Neighbour looking for access through garden for digger

Hi Newo. I wouldn't let the neighbour access through your garden if i was you, for the simple fact that if he says he needs a mini digger to excavate the foundation, then he will most probably be using a small dumper to remove the spoil too, because it will be quicker than a couple of barrows.

Also, if the builder damages your patio i doubt either your neighbour or builder will be willing to cough up 7000 euro to replace it.
 
Thanks so much to everyone for the replies, it really helped. It gave us the confidence to be assertive as someone mentioned, spoke to neighbour using the advice of saying we'd spoken to the stone cutters who'd laid the stone who advised against it, neighbour was understanding and seems okay. Said the builder will have to find another way around it, not sure if they've informed the builder of that yet but it is now rightly their problem not ours.

Really appreciate all the input thanks!
