Hi Everyone,
My next door neighbour spent much of the last year harassing us until the Police finally got the CPS to prosecute him. A 2 year restraining order was placed on him just before Christmas last year stating he is not to contact us directly or indirectly or come onto our property. He broke the order the day after the Court order was made and the Police were called but felt that they needed 'something more substantial' to take it back to court.. (he followed me into my local motor mechanics workshop and I had to hide). He has made two further breaches of the order because he has no respect for the law and is a control freak. Last week I received a letter from him (again a breach of the court order) telling me that 'as soon as possible' he was going to come onto my property to lift some of my block paving in my drive and do other things to his property. His house and extension wall form the boundary to my property's drive and rear garden. Part of his harassment last year was to lift some of my block paving and criminal damage to my summer house in the back garden which is built within my boundary and which can't be seen from his property.
His letter is full of derogatory comments and rants about the waste of taxpayers money taking him to Court last year and he just cannot give up his obsession with making our lives hell (another part of his harassment was following me into my place of work, spitting at me in the street and playing heavy metal at full blast into our garden for up to 7 hours a day, every day last summer) Just trying to paint a picture of the psychopathic person he is. We will never know what started it as we have no dispute with him.
To get to the point.. I do not want him putting a foot on my property or indeed anyone representing him. I do not believe he needs to renovate any part of his property from my land. He says he is going to have cavity wall insulation in his extension but he will have no access to his extension wall as my summer house is in front of it. I want to deny him access for many reasons, mainly the fear of his aggressive behaviour. Am I required to agree to his representatives coming onto my property? I have looked at the Access to Neighbouring Land Act which seems to favour neighbours who need access for work on their properties but in my case I feel it is just not justified. I can only imagine that he would do damage and not pay for it or that his request is spurious and just done to intimidate and show that a restraining order of the court means nothing to him.
Any thoughts.. so sorry this is a long ramble.. I am usually more succinct. Also how much would it cost him to go to court for access should I deny it... He told the court he had no money for anything!
Thanks for listening
