Neighbours car blocking light

zmccomish

I am aware that blocking a neighbours light is no longer an offence, but that in the interest of harmony the majority do not intrude on anothers comfort.However in this estate of some 40 houses our next door neighbour unfortunately is the only one in the area to constantly park their car in the drive between the 2 houses greatly blocking coming into our sittingroom.We have appealed to them on several occasions to desist as there is ample free parking on the road or even on the start of the drive.All pleas are ignored. What if anything can we do?

They are parking their car in THEIR driveway, or partly in yours?

Kimbot

So the neighbour is parking on their drive??

The neighbour is parking on their driveway? Sorry but the chances of a car being damaged is higher if the car is parked on the roadside rather than a driveway.

How can a car possibly bock sunlight?

groovyg

Is this a joke?

ustari

This is right up there with the most ridiculous posts I have ever seen if true and as mentioned by other posters in terms of them parking in their own drive.

Double decker?

Thinking of the headlines "Neighbour Parks Car In Their Driveway, You'll Never Guess What Happened Next"

What has this got to do with Construction or Planning anyway?

Out of 40 houses, your next door neighbor is the only one to park in their own driveway?

What am I missing here?

I love to see a layout of the these houses and driveways.

One of the worst "m? fein" posts I've seen in a long time.
Maybe go out for a walk and use the room when it's dark.

Something doesn't sound right with this ... street lamp or sunlight? Can you provide us with a rough drawing or picture so we can advise as its hard to gauge how you mean OP.

Coming soon, the "My neighbour cut their grass and didn't cut mine, what are my rights?" thread

Get over it and let the neighbour park in their own driveway as they have every right to.

OP are we missing something here? Are you genuinely complaining that a neighbour is parking in their own driveway?

when was this ever an offence?

RustyNut

Could you post a good description of the layout of the houses to shine a little more light on the subject, so to speak.

Did you also have a drink with your manager and fall over at work?
Did you ever "suffer" from a bad neck when a vehicle touched the bumper of your stationary vehicle?

I just realised that OP probably lives in one of those wee fairy houses.

It makes sense now !!

I'd to re-read the OP but I think this is what it is. Two houses beside each other but with a driveway in-between, which is the neighbours, and the sitting room window must look out onto it to be blocking light. That is the only way I can see it blocking light and even then it can't be much, unless it was a van or something.

i think the OP has got plenty of opinions. Thread closed.

May I thank Alex,Jimmy..
y,Groocyx,ustari,Degsie,Earl,Geo,Brian And Elm among others for their observations on the neighbours vehicle blocking the light.Yes I now agree with many of their points.What harm could a neighbours car do even if it is the only one blocking a neighbours light.Matter has been satisfactorily resolved.Borrowed wreck of a lorry taxed and insured.Parked it legally outside their house.Within days they they were moaning but agreed to move their car further down drive.Now no problem.Lorry returned.If any of the correspondents need similar help I will be happy to oblige.
