Thanks Moo, I think I would be better of taking your advice and have that informal chat with the local planners.
Could you or someone else please help me with the right of way dispute? It is regarding the service road that runs up the side of the neighbour’s house, then along the backs of all four houses in the terrace. The previous owners of both properties agreed – with the consent of the others in the row – to erect a fence were the side road meets the back road for security reasons. In a way I am happy with this, but would like my right of way over the side road. Eight months ago my solicitor wrote to the neighbours explaining this and asking them if they could put a gate in the fence to achieve this. I have never had a reply the only response was for the neighbours to put a chain and padlock round the steal gates at the other end of the side road. What I would like to know now is, would I be in my rights to put a gate in the fence myself (this fence belongs to the neighbours) or take the fence down altogether?
I should add that both properties were on the market at the same time and in their estate agents brochure it clearly stated that there was a right of way over the road.
