Next door neighbour parking company fleet on street

scoobyfamily

We've just moved here and are renting it for the next year or so. It's a new estate.

When we came to view we thought the neighbours were having work done by builders.

Turns out it's their business and have a mini-digger stored on their driveway in a trailer, and up to 5 vans at one time along with 2 - 4 cars. There is a free for all parking layby in the front of our house and on often the transit is parked in the layby at the front of the house, another of their cars behind it and then side by side to the transit their is another of their cars parked.

So in their driveway:
mini-digger on trailer
2 vans
2 cars
then another transit parked at the end of the driveway beside it on the kerb.

Lay-by in front of our house:
1 transit
1 car
then a double parked car (nearest to our drive) side by side to the transit.

So basically the whole thing is an eye-sore and it's not very nice to come home to an industrial like yard!

Is there anything we can do anonymously? I wouldn't want to cause or start any dispute.

if its a new estate there may be a covenant that forbids the parking of commercial vehicles , its up to the developer to enforce it

could be that the transit + cars are not part of the commercial enterprise so that's why they park them on the road?

The difficulty will be for a tenant to get hold of the relevant document.
Try asking your landlord.
Try downloading title documents from the land registry (£4).
Try speaking to other neighbours.

You could also go to the local council and speak to the planning dept. Running a business from a residential property probobly breaches planning regs.

Or speak to the local community police re obstuction/nuisance.

All vans are liveried.

They have 4 cars used for both business and pleasure so I doubt they are registered as business vehicles tbh. Cars wouldn't bother me, however, the double parking is completely ignorant, along with 5 vans and a digger!

Sounds awful. Got any pics?

I bet the owners couldn't sell it and that's why it was up for rent........

Unfortunately I don't, I don't really want to get into any bother with it but I could try to get one!

There was people in it renting for 2 years before us. It's 4 years old.

There is nothing you can do unless there is a parking problem in your area.

And then all you will get is residents parking restrictions which don't operate at night.

Kill them.

I know it's a bit harsh, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
