Parking on Shared Driveway within my Boundary

A plan would be useful. I can’t quite get my head round a drive shared with the house opposite - usually it’s the house next door.0

If he can get around you already then it sounds quite wide, Could it be that it was widened exactly so you could park on it, But cars are a lot wider now! Maybe you need to widen it a meter!
Usually they would be just 1 car wide to a garage on both sides of the property line.
It would help if you posted a photo of the deeds and maybe of the drive, and a google Arial.0 -
Agree that without the exact wording and a diagram no one can say with any certainty. I'm also confused by the reference to opposite as that suggests he is reversing onto the OP's driveway which sounds a little odd to say the least.0

I suspect they just mean "on the opposite side of the shared driveway" ie next door, not across the road. Though I also suspect they're never going to come back and clarify anything...0 -
If your deeds and his contain a clause giving him the right to pass at any time, then blocking it is a violation and you should stop doing it.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

he driveway is shared but within my boundary. We park our cars on the driveway and occasionally have visitors who park there (which doesn’t not block access to my neighbours drive) but in his opinion makes it less convenient to get in and out of his driveway.
So he uses a shared part of driveway then has his own driveway.
Do you also have a bit of driveway that is not shared, making a Y configuration?0 -

I know of a situation where there are 3 houses sharing a drive.
To get to the house at the top of the drive you have to cross the section of shared drive that forms part of houses 2 & 3 boundaries.
For house 2 you have to cross the shared drive that forms part of house 3's boundary.0
