Vent - Driveway problem
Comments

Not knowing where the boundary is but looking at the picture don't you have to go onto the neighbors side to get into your garage? That looks like a strange set up to me.0

Looking at the picture, the width of the shared drive is equal to the width of the gap between the 2 houses (about 8 feet?) and that extends back to the road. Anything beyond that to either side is where each household has extended sideways to attempt to provide parking off the drive.
It looks as though the house on the left has tarmacced there front completely as the car that can just be seen doesn't encroach on the line of the drive. However the right hand house needs to lose some more garden to get the car completely off the drive.
You really need the maps that are with the deeds for both houses to pin down the area that is shared.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
I am not to fussed regarding the plate online. Like others have said its available to the thousands I drive past every day and when I park it.
When I bought the car online the plate was also on show.
Thanks for the advice though to those who gave it.0 -

Yeah from what I can tell. I have always had a drive. Next door never did and turned there green area into a parking area. The garden wall is still standing so they have to use my entrance to get in.
Let me show you what I mean.
This is the best I got but you can see the wall behind the silver car

Yeah now I actually think of it0 -
OP your photo includes your reg plate details. It is always wise online to protect your identity in some way.
I now have applied for some ... using these details.

OP- does your garage fit a car? From the photo perspective it looks far too narrow for a car.
I would seriously consider blurring out your reg plate, not only is it easy to find out who you are and where you live, its at risk of having the plate cloned for another vehicle of the same description.
I had a neighbour who used to park their car on my (gated and single) driveway. Considering she did not live next door to me made it even more frustrating. Whenever I asked her to move it, she would say "Oh I forgot I parked it there!", I used to say that if she did not park there in the first place, there's a chance she wont forget doing so.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Garage fits the car fine. But only a small car. Would have massive trouble with a mondeo or something0
