Garden Law Discussion

This is where it really pays to get on with your neighbours if you share the use of a track. Imagine if your neighbours were your best friends. Quite simply they would have said to you that they were getting a log delivery sometime next Tuesday afternoon...and you would have known to move your car o...

Conversation is a bout a garden- just happens to have a dog in it....well except for when it wanders off unsupervised into someone elses garden.

Based on the fact you are trying to sell your house, i would just start parking somewhere else altogether = no dispute.

Cleo, your opinion that is not a good idea appears to be based on the tennant with small child that is leaving/has left- It is a valid option for the OP to consider that may force a resolution to the issue. OP seems to want a cheap solution and has asked for ideas. Removing his gate is much cheaper ...

In fact I realise I've stumbled on the answer. Simply remove the gate that links your garden with the outside world and leave it open. Then if they choose to let their dog out in their garden and it gets into yours it will escape into the wild blue yonder. After a few evenings of searching the neigh...

My understanding is as follows: If you are responsible for the fence that exists currently and you don't want to be then take it down....your maintenance problems end-Place a few stakes to mark the boundary line if you feel it necessary.-you have no responsibility to maintain a fence to any standard...

Hi Do we need the neigbours permission to do the work required on the ROW? The fact that you have asked this question tells me that you don't yet fully understand the information people have given you in this thread . The case law posted by pilman tells you this.

Regarding them blocking your right of way. It comes down to what is reasonable..and that is a judgement which ultimately can only be resolved in court if either party takes issue. So they pull in to unload thier car for a couple of minutes and it holds you up....ok for a couple of minutes yes , 5 mi...

It would seem to me that your property specifically retained a right of way over the triangle to permit turning into the otherwise tight road - the planters he has positioned form a substantial interference as they prevent vehicles which otherwise could getting to your house.. I think your approach ...

At the moment you are trying to understand your legal position ; the case law that Pilman posted a while back is absolutely the relevant case law and the wording of your right of way helps reinforce this and is good wording. Your neighbour also is very possibly on journey of realisation....their sta...

Also did they dig up the gravel and put it back on your land as threatened. ?

In their letter they say they will apply for an injunction if you apply any gravel.

You say you applied gravel before you received the letter (presumably whilst it was in preparation), you say you have applied more gravel since.

Any sign of the injunction they threatened ?

Your right of way specifically states it is for use with vehicles , hence your are allowed to create a surface fit for that purpose if one does not already exist. There is some case law dating back years on this. Says something like ...a right of way granted is no use if you will sink up to the naiv...

+1.

The person(s) who owns the land either side of the lane ...would be my chief suspects. They are the most likley people to also own the lane and have an interest in preventing its use.
