Yes I think so. So long as he leaves space for access to your property.Your local council should be able to advise you.
I would contact the land registry over this to ask for proof of defined boundaries, it should only cost a small fee, which, you could ask your neighbour for a full refund of if u prove him to be in error.
It depends on exactly what access rights you have. You may not be allowed vehicle access but your neighbour must I would suggest leave a gate in the fence for you.
Check the title deeds for your actual position.  Best wishes.
He is not supposed to prevent you exercising your right.  To an extent it depends on what exactly your right is.  I would expect a right of way (easement) to be registered with the land registry unless it has arisen informally.  I suggest you contact a law centre. If he takes steps to prevent you exercising your right and you do nothing, you may lose the right.  On the other hand, it is not a good idea to have a fallout with your neighbour (in case you wish to sell up later).  So I suggest a law centre might be well placed to advise you.  Find out where one is from a CAB.
