prescriptive rights

[jennymac]

Further to my previous posting I have typed out the Deed of Grant in full and for obvious reasons I have omittted names and addresses.

The lane running in front of the houses and the turning point in question are all owned by Railtrack and when the house was erected access along the lane was included. It is only since vehicles became an issue with parking that the turning point has been used by the residents of my property. Previous to my moving in the other two properties fronting the lane were elderly people who had no vehicles but it is only since my neighbour moved in and put his own driveway in (the other property also has its own driveway) that my parking in the turning point seems to have got up his back. It was OK for a while after he moved in but recently I tarmaced the turning point (financed by myself ) and this seems to ignited an anger in him that at times is quite intimidating. He has started to watch and photograph every person that comes to my property logging every detail and going back to Railtrack with anything that he thinks is a reason for me not to park there so much so that they have erected a No Parking sign. (I still park there because I have nowhere else to park). At no time do I leave my vehicles in such a way so as to cause an obstruction (unless it is for dropping off shopping etc and then only for the length of time it takes to unload)

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated so I can end this dispute and make my life a happier one than it is at the moment.

Can you see on the title register on in the deeds when the original right of access was granted?

One thing that occurred to me was whether the original grant could be in fact the Deed of Grant you referring to?

Seems strange to have the same granted twice.

Have you also checked the extent initial right granted, could it have been on foot only so a further grant was required allowing access with vehicles?

I do have the deeds to my property and I will look it up and state exactly what it says about the access whether it be just access or mentions vehicles. I have a feekling that it does mention vehicular access but I will check. Thanks for what your are saying Jenna I find it very helpful.
