    He blocks our exit to the road by doing so, as the track is only one car wide. He leaves his flashers on, a note scribbled on piece of paper that says 'unloading' but engine is off and the car abandoned for 20-30 mins at a time, very often with no unloading/loading activity during that time. The other day he unloaded a load of building materials onto our drive and left them there for 2 hours, while he got on with other stuff in his house! Eventually he came and got them.
    If he's working on the house he may have to unload a lot of materials. Its possible he doesn't see the need to immediately move the car if its only a possible minor inconvenience to one person. As he doesn't appear to be parking while pretending to unload he does seem to be following the rules just not as rigidly as you'd prefer.
    Building materials are often heavy and tiring to move. That might be the reason for the relatively minor delay in moving them.

    I suppose the real question is whether you have £100k spare that you want to spend on a neighbour dispute? If not, however unreasonable your neighbour is, you'll have to come to some sort of agreement with him. No doubt, the more unreasonable he is, the worse your side of the bargain will be.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
