Dropped curb parking

sheramber

Do you use the land?

Is  the car preventing you accessing or exiting the land or are you just objecting to someone parking there?

Hi
Thanks for all your replies! I have have been going backwards and forth between Police and Council to see who would deal with this.
Only reason I didn't put a gate originally as the padlock can be cut easily. I have had this in the past where a padlock was cut to gain access and loads of cars were dumped in this place.
I will be using this space soon to do an extention. Until this is done, I thought a temporary fence would be a good solution. I can't enter or exit as now there is a car parked bang in the middle of the dropped curb.

Presumably you also can't enter or exit now as there is a fence across too?

Which, being not much more than a glorified gate, can be easily removed by hand.

I've seen gates made with heras fencing before.  I really don't see the relevance, its a dropped kerb and the OP has rights to enter and exit his property via the dropped kerb as and when.

If you make it more obviously a gate, possible with some kind of "No parking, 24/7 access required" that probably won't stop the car but it'll give you more sway with council, etc.

If it looks like a fence then I can see people reasonably thinking it's not a problem since there's nothing to block.

What are you planning putting in place once the extension is built?
