Ignore the unkind comments. 

The comments could perhaps have been worded more tactfully (as I tried to do in my initial response) but the fact is that the description provided by the OP isn't sufficiently clear to enable anyone to really undertstand the situation and so give any helpful answers, and the LR plan of (presumably) the OPs house isn't very enlightening. It's not clear exactly where this 'back passage' is or what it connects to what.

Why on earth would the neighbours want the ivy cuttings? Bizarre suggestion.

They legally belong to the neighbours. You have to at least offer them.

That looks like artificial ivy.

I recently moved in to my grandfathers and grandmothers home passage next to our home, and next door also lives next door and the passage belongs to her, so she doesn’t have a back gate that leads onto the passage that is between our house, the only that is there is my back gate. Also the lady who owns next door has Ivy growing from her wall that is protruding over my back gate and my back gate is falling down. I don’t know what to do as she claims that the passages here’s the title deeds and I’m unsure of who the passage belongs to, but surely if the passage belongs to her, then her back gate would be in the back passage also, but it’s not her back gate access is round the corner, so I’m unsure of really what to do, can anybody please advise?

Hi Flowers.

You need to carefully read your own and your neighbour's deeds, and look at the wee maps included to see if either of the thin black boundary lines includes this passageway. I would suggest that's the starting point.

Let us know what, if anything, they say. Post photos if it'll help, but remove all identifiers.

Only in a weird theoretical sense. Nobody is going to sue you for not offering them some garden waste.

I agree with pumas…that looks like artificial plastic ivy that is sold attached to a trellis, or plastic mesh, to use as a fence or for privacy.   The leaves are also the same size.   It looks too even to be real. 

 If it is real, it must be pruned on a very regular basis.

You realise that photo was not posted by the OP?

But it could have been; that might have been the point.

It was put on as a joke, I think. I hope the poster isn't chuckling too much

The OP has already posted the title plan - it doesn't help much as it looks like one of those cases where the OS mapping probably isn't an accurate representation of the boundary and therefore the title plan has been produced from an inaccurate OS map.

Photos probably won't help much - the passageway is partially roofed over, as a continuation of the roof of the OP's property.  As I suggested in my previous post, the construction of the building (i.e. the roof) suggests the passageway is part of the OP's property, but the line on the OS plan shows otherwise.

It could be the neighbour owns the roof over the passageway, or there could be some kind of flying freehold-type arrangement for the roof structure.  It really isn't clear. (the whole development is a little unusual, a bit 'holiday chalet' style, so I'd say just about anything is possible here)

Going back to the original development plans and transfer documents may be necessary to resolve this one.
