Bit of a predicament at the moment.
Me and my neighbour have an adjoining garage connected by a single wall, and of course the driveways are together and split by the boundary line: Mine is block paved upto the boundary line, and his is paving stone, so the boundary is clearly defined. It is not a shared driveway.
Trouble is, he cannot reverse his truck straight, either its hanging over my side, with about 2 ft on the drivers side free .... or its totally over my boundary. I had a classic VW Camper, which some weeks would not move, and I could clearly see paint chips, dents etc from his truck passenger doors on my camper. They also use my drive as if its a public footpath, cleaning car mats on it etc, we have cctv showing all of this
I'm now leasing a new car and dreading any possible damage. So now, I'm considering saying to him I'm thinking of erecting a 3ft fence my side of the boundary line, with reflective plates on to help when he reverses on the drive etc. which he will be unhappy about.
There's nothing in the deeds about it being 'open plan' ..... he'll still be able to access his drive, so I cannot see any problems.
Just wondering where I stand legally?
