    Something like this, or the mirror image. The OP is parking on the Driveway "DDDD" constrained by the neighbour "NNNN" on one side and the house "#" on the other.

    What lies between the front of the house and the road is a mystery, but based on what the OP has said already and being familiar with this kind of development, my guess would be it is a narrow strip (if anything) which is far too small to park on. (if it were big enough for parking then the garage wouldn't need to be set back). I could be wrong though, hopefully the OP will come back to confirm. ;)

    How wide is your car?

    If it's a driveway it should be of a width to fit a standard car... Are you driving a monster truck and not mentioning it? That might drive anyone to build a wall.

    You could park across their driveway instead... It wouldn't be nice and there may well be some action she could take in response to that however.

    In our road if people park across driveways they get towed away by the local council and have to pay to get their car back.

    Possibly the least sensible advice on the thread. By a long way. :doh:

    I know I'm old and doddery, but I'm almost sure that last week the OP said there was no front driveway at the house next door.

    Hi,
    Their front garden space is very small and not able to park any car either. They have got parking at the back of their house.

    It might be at the back of the neighbour's house, but there is still a driveway somewhere the OP could park across if they really wanted to kick off a neighbour dispute. ;)
