Access To Rear Gates

[wigangal]

Hi i have double back gates that allow access to my back garden down a back alley so i can park my car one of my neighbors has sorn his vehicle and put it outside his back gate to his back yard no access for a vehicle into the back of his property and is blocking me access with my vehicle to my garden what rights do i have

What do your deeds say about access?

[Baldric]

If he has Sorned his Vehicle and it's not on his property, is it legally parked, I would get the police to have a look.

[wigangal]

Cassa 333 i don't know what the deeds say as i rent the property

To save aggro & maby scratched cars, have a word with Him.

Baldrick would it still be illegally parked as it is not on a public highway the problem is it is on jacks so can't be easily moved

[wigangal]

unfortunately he is an ignorant human being and does not talk to anyone we have tried knocking on a few times and he doesn't answer the door

Do as Baldric suggests if I were you, wigangal.

[Baldric]

If it's sorned it needs to be on private ground not a public vehicular right of way, what is it?

[bednobs]

id get your landlord to sort it if i were you

[wigangal]

i'm not sure what it is it's off a road down the backs of the house we all have back gates but the rest of the row only has small back yards and nowhere to park a car my car insurance is stated that at night my car is in my garden not on the public road at the front of the house where it is at the moment and has already been damaged since having to park it there (Wing mirror smashed off twice )

[Baldric]

If the area that you refer to is accessible to the public without restriction, then it is classed as part of the public highway for the purpose of the Road Traffic Act, therefore you can not keep your SORN vehicle there.
Also if it is in a public area it would need to be Taxed.

Sorry ^^^ for 'your sorned' read 'a sorned'

[wigangal]

Thanks Baldrick
