Mediation is the best route, if it can be set up and an agreement reached, with a third party knowing exactly what was agreed.


Disputes over land wear people down, so it's great that you've been able to resolve yours

Yes, the mediation worked a treat, and finally got the problem solved. The mediator was a retired judge - a lovely person.


Another time I have used mediation was via the Small Claims Court when I claimed against Expedia (long story). Expedia ended up paying me an amount I was happy with.

Now, when you submit your objections to the Planning application, do some proper research first.


It's no good just saying "I object", or even inventing ad hoc reasons - you have to use legitimate planning reasons for your objectios to be considered.

Thanks. He has had a barrage of objections and will most likely not get permission.


Egress is onto a busy corner. A culvert runs under the land. Etc, etc.

might be worth looking to see if there are some protected newts or flowers in the area

Talking of resolutions, I put this thread up way back when


https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3997643/are-eas-allowed-to-give-out-vendor-solicitor-details-to-third-parties


about a relative who had a neighbour who put two fences up over a right of way, not realising that there were restrictive covenants that did not allow her to do this.


Two sets of neighbours got their solicitors on the case, and eventually she had to bring both fences down.


Because she had had neighbour disputes, she was not able to sell the place for years, and lost two buyers while the whole fence issue was going on. (She was a property developer, and had been hoping to "add value" by fencing her garden off and making it totally private).


Thankfully she did eventually move. :beer:


The place is now peaceful with no awful neighbours and no fences obstructing the right of way! :j


It's amazing how some people just do not understand restrictive covenants.
