    No one at the supermarket is going to have sleepless nights over this,:o

    No but the people living next door might, the goods on the shelves dont arrive by teleportation, they are loaded at night by several articulated lorries and loud clanking metal ramps and loud workers.

  • Unless the boundary is clearly marked and defined then it will fall under a boundary dispute.
    These are costly and time consuming and by that time it will be finished.

    So start be clearly marking this boundary so there is no confusion.

    Yes the boundary is very clearly defined on out property deeds.

    I think you are one of the first people I have spoken to about this in two years who has actually shown some compassion. For that I thank you.

    Yes there is a brick wall separating us. There is also a gate you need to open to gain access to the path.

    Get some signs made for the wall stating private property, no trespassing.
    Your position is stronger if it is clearly defined that it is a boundary, it is no longer a dispute then, its trespass and I have never heard of a court granting orders to trespass, its common law and can not be over ruled.

    But it's too late. Whilst I sympathise, refusing access for them to render a side wall to make the place look more attractive now it's going ahead isn't going to help anyone.

    The Nazi invasion of our great country was also "going ahead"
    Some things you have to fight for, even if the odds are clearly stacked against us, just like they were in 1941.

    I don't see how they would be able to just go to court and get a court order to access my property without my permission.

    They can, the court can grant access to anyone's property for the maintenance of a neighboring property.

    Perhaps not.


    But if the supermarket builders want access to property that is not belonging to the plot then they should suitably compensate them.


    If sufficient compensation is paid it might enable the OP to move away.
