If this vehicle is regularly causing a problem you could argue that there was a case that it is actually obstructing the public highway, what would happen if a fire engine needed to get past in an emergency?
This is something you'd have to take up with your local council or even the county council, they all have different bye-laws.
I know some councils don't allow trade (or sign written) vehicles to be parked in residential areas.

what typeof vehicles are they? if they are wagons, (hgv), they are under very strict rules, by vosa( vehicle operator services authority). hgvs must have a place to park, off the public highway when not being operated.
vans, may be a bit trickier. your probably best going to see the council. see what they say.
