Hi, this could be difficult to answer as not sure of circumstances.
I'd recommend you contact OPSI.
But i'd always try to keep good relationships with neighbours, you may have to apply for consent to install gate which means giving about 2 months notice, as for the dish i'm not sure. I have seen flues for boilers installed in extentions on the wall at the neighbours side and I believe there is a three metre rule but not sure about sat dishes.
Contact OPSI (www.opsi.gov.uk) they will help you with your concerns.
Good Luck
