Driveway neighbour disputes.

BlueTaylor91 said:
So i live in a semi detached house and in-between my not immediate neighbour is both our driveways....To gain access onto our driveways you have to drive up a shared drieway.



Now we have a newborn (which is besdies the point) but we leave the car at the very front of our drieway to allow us to open and clise the rear passenger side door to get the little 1 in and out (as its against the brick wall if not) the neighbour has been pulling their faces at us and asking us why and to be more cautious etc as they stuggle to get onto their driveway (with the swing) well they have erupted this afternoon at us for us to just say "its our driveway. End of."



I really dont want to be that neighbour but ive had enough and quite frankly want to now errect a fence right down the middle of us. Would i need planning permission? Etc

Not if it’s a shared drive.
Your deeds will tell you.
 
My 1st house had a shared driveway.
The neighbour suffered from Alzheimer’s, yet was still driving … just…it was a bit of a nightmare, he had an old dead car partially blocking our access to the rear which had a for sale sign on it, but never was sold…
Impossible to chat with, as he got confused, we just parked on road, till we moved a few years later.
Partner had to break in a few times to get him back inside his house as he’d forgotten his keys.

So, not his fault his brain had gone, but it did resolve me… never buy a house with a shared drive again.
 
Never a good situation to be at odds with neighbours. Take a deep breath, give it a day and go and have a chat with them in a grown up way.

Without getting riled up, keep calm and just say you’ve come to discuss the trouble you’re having and let them understand the situation.

Leaving it and each party mumbling behind the curtains, or going nuclear, building fences and legal action will benefit nobody plus it can cause issues if you then decide to move.

Whilst going round and lamping the fucker will make you feel better for 15 mins it won’t fix it.

99% of issues are a result of people just not talking enough. It’s only the other 1% that need more assertive action.
