    In an ideal world I would like to have a garage built on the side of my property and these two spaces could then form part of the entrance to the garage, although imagine that would be costly and would involve planning permission?

    How about a carport?

    Planning permission isn't usually required for a garage.

    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    It will be hours of your life you won't get back but it is funny.

    Indeed. I usually find parking sagas boring, but that was amazing.
    I ended up spending hours reading that from start to finish, and also the thread where the law student thought she could bully her litigation lawyer neighbour over their shared access.

    How annoying! I see people doing this all the time near school & can't believe how lazy & selfish they are!
    I wouldn't advise you to let down a tyre or two & watch them have to work hard to change them, that would just be cruel, wouldn't it... ;)

    I did this once in a foreign country where the act is not illegal as it is not considered vandalism to displace air from the interior of the tyre to the exterior (I kid you not). When the man who regularly parked his car in front of our garage then had to change his tyre in the freezing rain, I almost felt guilty - almost! :cool:

    I wish you good luck, OP!

    ps. I LOVED the Mumsnet saga - thanks!
