It is also possible that this is covered by covenant. For example I have a covenant that says I cannot park a caravan in my drive way, it's not law though.
Further to previous answers. It does say in my deeds something about both parties having the right to reasonable access to their own property.
Would think that if one party were awkward and parked the other may, in an emergency, be knocking on the door during the night for the vehicle to be moved, also what's to stop the other party parking behind the offending vehicle, stopping them getting out. Who needs that hassle.
Contract is where the covenants thing comes in - there may be covenants (posh word for terms) within the deeds that has provisions for parking areas.
I should stress though tha theses therms do not have to be in the deed (or the Land Registry), thay can be imposed by statute,'agreement' (between the privy parties) or by 'custom'.
As far as suing in the Tort of 'private nuisance' is concerned' - an application could be made with a view to obtaining a specific injunction for whatever is required - ie - stopping the neighbour from parking at a specific time or place.
