Hello, I really hope someone can advise, we live in a rural area and have bulk tank LPG, we rely on this for heating and hot water. The only way to access the LPG tank is via our neighbours padlocked 8ft gate. We have never had an issue before gaining access, although the owner does not live on site it was a simple phone call and he would turn up or lend a key to another neighbour. We only fill up every 12months or so.
There have been some issues around drainage and and we are not in good terms, the neighbour although not saying he will not open the gate keeps saying we haven’t given him enough notice to open the gate, he isn’t available, he needs more notice. There have now been repeated failed deliveries and we are running low!
Our deeds say “ the benefit of the property (us) to pass and re pass with it without vehicles over the estate (his land) for the purpose of filling and refilling and replacing repairing and maintaining the gas storage facility and tank situated within the property.”
My simple question is do we have a right to have a key to said lock? Although he is not refusing access he is certainly not allowing access in our eyes or that of our supplier.
