I posted this looking for experiences and opinions in construction and planning forum but it got closed as it was considered a legal disscusion, I PM the MOD but no reply so I'm gonna post this in a legal disscusion forum, the post goes like:

My family has a site and it has/had a little boreen prob bout 6 foot wide adjecent to it. After a few years away I paid a visit to the site recently to find the little borinne has turnned into a road bout 20 feet wide into our site. A new house was buildt on the site behind ours and the access to the house road (little boreen) has been filled in with gravel prob about 2 truck loads. We were never informed or conntacted about anything.
The road has been widened onto our land, so we've lost about 15feet x 100feet and more at the entrance, its been widened further and rounded at the main road.
I have the engineer who marked out the site offically calling out this week to remark the offical boundary again at our expense (€1,000),
The offical boundary will basically be going up the middle of this new road and blocking access to the new house.
Has anyone ever had something like this happened to them and how did you resolve the matter?

You resolve same by instructing a solicitor on your behalf.

We don't do legal advice here on the discussion thread. I will leave this open for the moment. No further detail should be given in terms of the location, etc.
