Neighbour parking too close

[JP_]

Neighbourly problems are a nightmare, I've had my fair share. One neighbour seemed to actively encourage his visitors to park across my drive on a regular basis - pretty much every Tuesday after school, and again at the weekend. They always said "it's only for a minute" but it would always be the minute I was supposed to be going somewhere!
We moved. Nobody blocks my driveway now - an advantage of living on a busy road. OK, probably the only advantage!

Well that's totally disrespectful he hasn't yet actually parked on my drive but almost!

He refuses to drive on forwards I'm going with the yellow metal bollards so I can drive on properly he does have room to move over but he parks a van the other side and I guess space is tight but the bollards should prevent the trespass

To ask him to drive on forwards and then reverse onto road, you are asking him to contravene the Highway Code. page 47 reversing 177

I think you do tolerant more from neighbours if you get on. I've always treated people the same way I would like to be treated but it just doesn't work in the real world.

It looks like you need a single post, just about where his drivers door is!

Alternatively you could dig out a small oval flower bed again just where his drivers door happens to be

And then keep it topped up with mulch to stop the weeds -probably sloppy cow manure.

Or plant a nice bush pyracantha or wild rose

Lay 2 rows of railway sleepers, its not a fence!

That sounds like an idea, it would help to stop your Tarmac Drive breaking away at the edge and stop next doors lawn breaking away, a winner for both sides.

Something just high enough to catch his door on, if he tries to open it.

Thanks for all your advice some of you think I'm making something out of nothing maybe your right but I do feel him parking on the edge is a little disrespectful his car is sometimes even closer than the picture too

not commenting on your actual situation as such
more weighting up the extra inconvenience over possible extra hastle from your actions
he may turn from a complete arse to an an evil arse who knows its just a consideration worth thinking about
its worth checking your deeds or lease as it may say something along the lines off
"permitted to pass along your drive on foot for access only and without moterized conveyance"
or words to that effect

I know we fell out years ago the guy is a total ****

He likely feels the same way

Neighbours fooking neighbours,

Just be nice to your neighbour for 12 months then move away before your fooking neighbour devalues your property.

Have had legal advice on shyte neighbours and they have always mentioned the 12 months with out confrontation (then you dont need to mention carp neighbours on any sales documents)

 

[Davi234]

Thanks for advice

How long did it take to mention a van in this thread?
Take a photo that is a wider shot, show the whole pair of drives.

Its hard to tell why he would be parking so close to you.

I'd opt for the p[lacing of something big and heavy (like the sleepers) wholly on your land, do it on a day when your sure hes going to be out for a long time.
