Encroachment

[carrtim1]

Good afternoon

There is an area between my drive and next door driveway. There is a tree planted in the middle of the boundary like so there is no dispute on the boundary.

My neighbour tresspassed and dug up my land within my boundary and laid an alternative surface without permission. He began to return my side of the boundary to how it was but downed tools and refusted to do any more.

I have completed the work myself and resurfaced up to 10 cm within my boundary line. Can I park a car so that the passenger side is say 20cm away from the edge. Does this equate to encroachment?

Basic answer is yes but if you are blocking rights of way then NO.

20cm inside your boundary line or 20cm over your boundary line? If you park on your own land within your boundaries then I'm not sure how it would be encroachment. Your neighbour resurfacing land within your boundary but it seems he accepted that and started making good, which you've now completed and the actual boundary line isn't in dispute?
