How terrible. I know the noise of plumbing when taps are running is very disturbing through a common wall.
Also kitchens usually have hard floors, not carpet.
Is there another bedroom or living area underneath the proposed kitchen?
It seems that your neighbour has not talked to the local Council about the change as it does not seem right that his drainage would go through a common laundry.
Surely an EC or Owners Corporation can not vote on vague plans, but would need precise plans and drawings drawn up by a professional, as well as Council approval? The owner should also show that licenced tradespeople will be doing the work, not a d.i.y project.
Dishwashers overflowing or pipes leaking can be a problem as has been posted before when water goes into adjoining units.
