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

Just brick his windows and torch his car, that'll teach the ****.

Don't fall out with them, it could make your life a misery. Try to explain why you are doing what you are doing but if you're making it difficult for them to park their car they may have a point. Can you not move the car to where you used to park once you've removed your new-born?

Congratulations by the way.

Fuck off with that conciliatory shite. Brick his windows and torch his car. You can bet he'd do the same to you.

For clarification are you parking on the shared area?
 
We have tried speaking to them and telling them of our situation but having a new born like most people would know we can be in the house for all of 5mins then we move the car back or it can be an hour. Etc all we get told is we have been there and managed
 
NEVER share fuck all with neighbours..................anyway some good sound advice already given.

Pics do help us to fathom all this out.
 
If there is an easement or right of access to his property no you can't block that access.

You won't be able to build a fence in the middle because if it is in the middle it will be on both sides and encroaching on his property and trespassing on his land, anything on his land becomes his property as well. So you'll be giving up whatever the width of the fence out of your driveway just for this pettiness.

Go see a solicitor/conveyancer and get a professional opinion.

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.
