Highways. If you were planning to do something that required new access onto the highway or caused a change to the traffic that would enter onto the highway from the drive they would have a right to have their say but you already have access to the highway and there will be no change to the traffic ...

I take it your access way is a private right of way (easement() rather than a public right of way . The owner of the house can only give him permision to park on land he owns so unless he owns the access way it’s not him. Who owns your access way . That would be the person you go to and that person ...

that is a wholly separate right to the other one you posted - therefore, it would appear that your neighbour’s property enjoys 2 rights over your property: 1. right of access... ...over and along the Accessway... ...with or without vehicles at all times for the use and enjoyment of the Retained lan...

That paragraph is: 'The right of access over the Property to use and access the oil tank which is situated on the Property as shown for identification purposes with an "X" on the Plan.' that is a wholly separate right to the other one you posted - therefore, it would appear that your neighbour’s pr...

Why would you in anyway be responsible for the upkeep, you do not use it..Even if you did use it the law would give you the option of no longer using it if you didn’t want to pay for its upkeep.

His fire escape if required is his problem not yours and the law will not come to his rescue ..

As is apparent from the posts already on this thread after 10 years the owner claiming AP over registered land can start the process of claiming AP. After that the registered proprietor has two years to defend the claim. Total is 12 years. Look at what you actually posted. You said to be successful...

Who owns the pedestrian walk way and the area the brambles were on. If it’s not you ,you had no right to remove the brambles I’m afraid and you seeing it as an improvement-is not a good enough reason unless you had the legal right to do it . I disagree with Mac here in that you have in theory done s...

I’m assuming access to the outhouse is via your land and the neighbour who would buy it has no direct access from his land..
