hyper Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you want the situation sorted out to everyone's satisfaction, then why not.That's tantamount to me sending my kids to play football in your back garden. If you want your (rightful) peace you can of course buy them Alton Towers day passes to remedy the situation. The OP shouldn't have to pay extra to an awkward sod for what he already has a right to. Plus, what next? Neighbour wants something else, so he plays bear and leans on the OP, hoping he'll cave in .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you want the situation sorted out to everyone's satisfaction, then why not. But it's not to everyone's satisfaction is it as we'll be out of pocket. Since we already have one permit for our own vehicle a second one apparently is twice the price. He only ever parks his car in the designated bays on a Sunday, when enforcement of the parking isn't valid (It's Mon-Sat 7am-8pm) so it's clear that he's doing it to avoid paying like everyone else. Someone did mention earlier about who owned the land etc and I was on my phone at the time so I missed out some of what I wanted to post. As stated the houses are all owned by one LL. However it wouldn't matter if he owned his home as he's in a middle terrace property, he's still driving/trespassing on other people's property in order to get his car to his back door.

frank ryan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 before it all gets very legal and based on the legal opinions of people who have no idea what they're talking about - my advice is to read Halibut's wise words, ignore all the other posts and have a word with your neighbour. Hope all's well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all's well. We already have had a word, it lasted 2 days. Spoke with others in the block and they've all spoken with him too regarding the issue. It's now in the hands of the LL. I've suggested, in my email, the option of installing bollards on the end property (entrance to the alley). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Why should we pay "an extra premium" to be able to access a property we already pay for? I know its not much but we already pay for the access in our rent. Emailed LL with time/date/GPS stamped images this morning. We'll see what happens. I would now wait to see if the landlord can sort it, give him a couple of days. If he fails to, for whatever reason, I would contact the Fire Service and have them come round to do a home safety check. One of the things they will do is put together an escape plan in case a fire does break out. Once aware of the situation I'm sure that they would be more than happy to send both your landlord and your neighbour a very sternly worded letter to them not to block the exit from your property. If that doesn't work I doubt the council will have any powers to enforce permits on what is essentially private land so you will be left with either moving or slashing tyres. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event of a fire if we were in the bedroom then the back door would be our closest exit. Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If home alone the back door would be your partners only exit. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Why not get him a permit (and pay for it if there's a charge) that way everyone's a winner. Why doesn't he pay the lazy sods electricity bill while he's at it?? or maybe buy the guy a massive telly and all the Sky Channels to attempt to keep him happy. Any more stupid suggestions??
