Courts. How deep are your pockets?

1) If the dropped kerb affects a 'shared' drive, surely my neighbour should have obtained my consent first before giving the works the go ahead with the Council ( the Council should at least have checked with me or sent me a letter ) ?. 2) Can I have the 'raised kerb' re-instated by the Council con...

The path is a private footpath as defined in the plans. The definition of a 'Common Facility' is a private drive or private footpath. Para 13.2.6 gives everybody the right to use the common facilities. Therefore no 21 (and all other houses) have the right to use the footpath Therefore a private driv...

The neighbours don't have tarmac. That is the parking space belonging to the house next door but one to the OP. You may find that ALL the houses in that row probably have a right of way along that path ETA Looking at your deeds then if every other house has the same then they all have a right to use...

Being off the lead is not dangerously out of control That would be dependant on more than we currently know. The statement as it stands is correct. Merely being off the lead does not make a dog dangerous. There must be other factors that come into play to consider the dog to be dangerous and out of...

Maybe op needs to do something about their dog barking constantly when the row is being used

Collaborate.
They were given permission to attach to it, so your first paragraph is superfluous

The pole was erected before the ROW over the 4 metre was entered into the deeds to both properties. It wasn’t an issue though because the pole was on the old boundary line and wouldn’t have encroached on the strip. The boundary line was subsequently moved following a dispute with the previous owner...

Only the approximate position of the gate though. And I'm guessing that the 4m wide strip is shown abutting the field boundary I see what you mean. The position of the gate is physically fixed, so there is no doubt about where that is. I suspect the reference to "approximate position" may well be t...

Is the portion of the brown bit circled green in separate ownership or part of the neighbour's field. The markings seem to indicate it is separate. Do you have the deeds for the land you have a ROW over and does it extend all the way to your field.?

Wouldn't the fact that it was done with the agreement of the previous freeholder break the adverse possession claim.

We had a verbal agreement with our previous freeholder that we could use it.
