Hello!
I own a house that is end of terrace (but not end of the street) with an alley between myself and the next house, my neighbour. I've double checked land registry and the line of ownership shows approx 1/2 of the alley. The neighbour has referred to it as a shared alley; it's not as I own half and so do they. They store bins etc on their side then actually use my side to drag their bins to the street each week, going through the 1 gate (that I own) to do so. I've never stopped them or said they can't.
I am getting some building work done and the neighbour is asking for us to guarantee access in the side alley to be maintained at all times. Our builders will only work within our boundaries.
Should I need to erect scaffolding within my boundaries (i.e. my side of the alley) can they prevent this?
