qamar

thank you

I'm not really sure if they had a car or not but they did not park in front of my garage

Previous occupants did not use the driveway to park. I said I was happy for him to park there until we move back in but that I will need access after that

Hi @marshian if he parks directly behind his house no.2, then he will be blocking no 4 and no 3. No 1 has their garden gate at the front of their house so they are not affected and don't use the drive for any parking.

👍

Thanks @ToughButterCup Thats why I was hoping there was some clear common law with regards to blocking access to someones garage.

🤣 I want to be good neighbours

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you nick! the house is being renovated so i think I'll find out if he is one once I move back in in a months time 😬

Thanks Ian I built the garage soon after I bought the property which was 39 years ago.

Fingers crossed

Thank you Marc, Hope its simple as that

Hi everyone, My house has a shared private gated/locked driveway which is used by five houses. One of the 4 neighbours who moved in recently has started to park his car in front of my garage entrance (He has no garage or back gate). I did speak to him and he said because none of us own it then any one of the key holders can park there. I just want to know what is my rights in common law to access to my garage? In my title register it mentions that "the land has the benefit of the rights granted by but is subject to the rights reserved by a transfer of the land in this title" So I have ordered this file to see if it has any clarifications on the driveway. Any advice in the meantime would be much appreciated

thanks @DevilDamo Thats really useful!

Hi @prodave I would defintely allow him access.

@nod is BC Building Control? @DevilDamo I just looked at the plans and there is no mention of rendering of wall or even what type of wall it will be. The application they have filed is ++ Application to determine if prior approval is required for a proposed: Larger Home Extension The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (asamended) - Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A ++ Should I ask the neighbour to add more details to the application? I'm not sure how this works

@DevilDamo Thank you, I'll have another look at the application

Thanks @DevilDamo They have not mentioned anything in the Planning application with regards to the render. The plans seem quite brief without much detail. I have until the 13th of this month to make representation. Should details like this be in the planning application?

Hi everyone, I have a neighbour who has applied for permission to build an extension. It will be quite large 4m high by 6m long. In his planning application there is no mention of how he will render my side of the wall. Can he just leave my side of the wall unfinished i.e. just breezeblock or pointed badly. Don't really want an ugly breezeblock wall greeting me in the mornings, lol! The owner of the house is a landord so i just wanted to get an idea of what i can resonably expect before I start talking to him. Thanks in advance

I have a patio right up against the patio so I imagine they cant just come over and disturb it?! Just read the link. Very helpful. Thank you

With financial constraints I am not looking at a new extension for another 5-6 years so not sure i would want my patio ripped up for that long. But agree I will speak to neighbours and discuss

Thanks DevilDamo!

Thanks Russell, Luckily I have no issues with access but was concerned if they built right upto the boundry then i would need to build my foundations away from their new extension thus restricting my space to build. Currently my patio is right up against their boundry.

Thanks Mr Punter Yes I think I will chat with them

Hi Everyone, Ive just received a letter about an application for a neighbours extension. Can they build right up to my boundry or must they leave a gap. If they build upto the boundry do I have right to use that wall for my own future extension? I plan in the future to build my own extension so just concerned this will restrict my build.

Thank you Redbeard You're a star!
