can i sue neighbor for blighting my property
My house sits on a plot shared with a car sales. An asian bought the car sales a few years back and since then he is trying to make our lives hell. There is a strip of land that borders our house that belongs to him and we used to maintain it but since he arrived he got his lawyer to tell us not to touch the strip of garden. It is now like a jungle and makes the area look like an eye soar and has blighted our property. He keeps the rest of his property well maintained and its clear he is doing this to cause us distress and we csell the ouse as a result.
The council are useless and refuse to get involved. He only has planning permission for 35 cars on the lot but he has over 60 on there. We share the access onto the main road but his customers are always blocking our entrance, he never tells them not to block or access which he should do as he is responsible for his customers.
Can we sue him for blighting our property and sue willfull neglect in order to cause distress to a neighbor?

If not you could do it and send him a bill.. But you must first write to him in any case. 60 cars or 30 parking is nothing to do with you at all if the council don't care then anything you can do about it.
You could write to him nicely and explain the situation, go over and have a friendly chat with him... You never know you might end up the best of friends, but you must if nothing else put you problems into writing
The parking on the road shared road ..he will argue that he has no control over the people who visits his premises and he would be correct..good luck

As a property owner you could try to take action on the basis of private nuisance which is a tort protecting occupiers who have property rights. I suggest you contact a local solicitor and provide the full facts, it is possible that a letter from a solicitor may achieve your objective. If you decide on legal action you will need perseverance and deep pockets.
