They make these things so small, it is a nightmare.
You were almost there but it is not Plot 3, it was Plot 5. So it is:
Plot 5 Parking
Plot 5 Parking
Visitor Parking
Visitor Parking
Plot 1 Parking
Plot 4 Parking

The plot I am interested in is 5 and the one next door is plot 2. They have one parking space next to the house and then one next to the two plot 5 spaces.

Request the plan in A1/A2.

They'll have them.

From what I understand, I would only be allowed to clip the branches back that overhang into my property?

Yes, but there is physical limit beyond which that becomes impossible, without special equipment, like a cherry picker.

I have managed to obtain the below plan which does clearly show that the plot I am interested in does have the two spaces in front of it.

Yes, but what's this plan used for? Like I said back at #3, you really want any allocation of spaces to be in the contract.

I can sympathise. I had an issue on Friday which caused a holy row and took all evening to sort out!

We have a parking quad at the back of the houses. Our house has an allocated space. I returned Friday night to a beemer parked in my space.

Normally though the spaces are not numbered we are all really good and no one parks in anyone's space without asking first so i was a bit miffed. I blocked him in (only because i would be taking someones elses space and making more issues) left a nice polite note.

I then popped to my new neighbors (they moved in the same day as us) and asked if i could nick her space as i didn't want to block the dude in, its not really nice and kind of a dickish move.

It turns out they have been livid for three months as they believed the space we were parking in was theirs!

We had to get our deeds out and show them that the space was ours. This caused dramas as English is not their first language and everything relayed back and forth via a child.

I honestly think they thought i was just trying to scam them out of a space as we already had an gentle chat with them regarding the non allocated visitor spaces to the front when they told several visitors, to surrounding houses as well as a visitor to our house, to move out of 'their' spaces.

They were horrified to find on the deeds for my house that showed each house and its space - they didn't have a single allocated space! They got really upset as the agent had told them the space out the front was theirs and ours out the back was too. I just had to keep telling them to look at the deeds they had been given as mine would only relate to me - but i don't think they understood.

*beemer was nice guy, he had just moved into a shared rental house on the other side of the quad - there is going to be issues as there are now six people living in the house all with a car and two allocated spaces!

We are off out shortly to paint our number on the bay!
