is White lane a classified road ?

@Nickfromwales but with heavy clay, would an insulated raft "Kore" etc, even be feasible .

What it should be to be suds compliant is "No fines"on the base.

Tell your neighbour to F-off

Look, I can put you in touch with One of the countries top land surveyors. He will charge you £10k to come and visit. Take a look, get your map off you. Check for points of origin. Then, tell you you are wasting your time in relation to the boundary. If you are insistent that you are right, he will represent you in court. Another £10k. You will also need a top barrister for a couple of days, £20k. So for you £40k you will get a couple of days in court. All the other side have to do is introduce One small , tiny, matter that shows that your case can't be proved, and you will loose. There is no balance of probability. Chances are, you will loose, and will be made to pay £40k costs to your neighbour. I can think of a lot better things to do with £80k of your money. Do yourself a massive favour, and get over it. You have plenty of visibility , unless you drive like a total twat. You are not going to get anywhere on here.. Give us a shout when you are down £80k, and we can all offer a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes in life, things just are not perfect. Get over it. More important things like your health, etc, in life.

No, that is not a point of origin. The house came after the map. A point of origin has to be in position before the map was drawn up. How do you know that the house was built in the exact place it is shown the map ? If the map has no points of origin, then it is worthless..... I'm just telling you what the Judge will say to you.

That is a sin. I spent years making expensive hand built furniture. If a potential client asked me to stain something.......They never became a client. Celebrate wood, don't kill it.

Right. In an effort to actually get somewhere. Answer the following. When is your map dated ? Does it have clear points of origin marked, are are they still there, inorder that they can be used to set out today ? (as if there was no house, wall, etc, on site ?

Without those your map is worthless

Points of origin ?

Your neighbour may well have a map showing that the fence is on his land. Have you asked ? Start a boundary dispute. By the time you come out the other end, it will have cost either you or your neighbour a good £80K Are you feeling lucky ? Why do you seem to have such a problem exiting your drive slowly, allowing you to see any bods on the pavement ? Have you got some personal beef with the neighbour ?

How old is the map ?

As the judge says"boundary's move over time.....

And the dimensions are set from where exactly?

As said before.....Can you prove that?

What sort of wood are you looking at ?

The side are both wrong. The bottom flashing is wrong. That window needs to come out and be started all over again. That is going to leak badly.

short answer is NO. Very wrong

And just a final word of caution. I know very well of a case where maps with points of origin, etc, were clearly shown. Each side had an expert witness in court. They had slightly differing opinions. The judge said that as the plans were more than 25 years old, he considered that they were now irrelevant and now out of date. He went and looked at both properties, to see what was actually on the ground. He then decided where the boundary was. My advice would be.....don't go there. Just take care when exiting your drive... That fence is the continuation of a wall. Who built the wall ? do you have proof ? when the wall was built are you aware of if it was built. Up to the boundary ? In the middle of the boundary ? On your side of the boundary ? Now prove it..........

So my first question to you is. What makes you think that you own the land that this fence has been built upon ?

Just read your other post. If you believe that you own the land that the fence is built on, then prove it. That is what you will be asked by the court, if you decide to take it down. Stop wasting your time with the council , mp's etc. They are not interested. It is actually very hard to prove the exact position of a boundary. So before you do anything, you need to be absolutely sure of that fact. If you are looking at the crappy little map provided by the land registry at a scale of 1. 2500 you are in for a shock. That won't wash with the court. If however you have a decent scale map, with points or origin shown, etc. It might be of use to you.

Only a guess, but I thought that the final 1m before the pavement could be no higher than 600mm from ground level ? Your neighbours fence does not go all the way out to the pavement. Is that setback a meter ? I think it is just a case of creeping out slowly when exiting your front garden, to give any body on the pavement the chance to see you. not ideal, but your neighbours obviously want privacy in there front garden. I'm not sure what you are expecting ? Removal of the fence that appears to be entirely on there own land ?

I said on a previous post, an old friend caught a burgler in his house. Tied him up and tortured him for a couple of hours. Quite heavy stuff. Broke his jaw, and eye socket. Wired him up, and told him he was going to electrocute him. The guy was crying and $hat himself. My mates wife thought he was going to kill him, and was the One who eventually called the police. My mate got Six years for GBH and kidnap, and had to pay the bloke £3500. That was about 30 years ago. I have sometimes wondered if the burglar changed careers after that. I can't help but think that our legal system, and the lack of prison sentences can't help. Although society has changed. When I was a young adult growing up in a $hite bit of London, people who robbed houses were thought of as scum, and would get a good kicking from local bods. They themselves might have been bank robbers, warehouse breakers, or cigarette lorry robbers, but they had no time for house robbers.

I have done the above. To be honest, there will be slight variations in the size of each piece of wood. Regardless of what you do, you will end up with the odd small gap.

I will do it later. However, the biggest problem IMO is the lenders. The second you step away from the norm, brick and block, you are limiting the number of lenders, that are willing to come out to play.
