Landlord taking away use of garden

You need to be reviewing the leasehold Plan. That s what you are paying rent to occupy. In the absence of any exclusions in your tenancy agreement, you are renting the entirety of whatever the lease and leasehold plan describes.
The landlord cannot remove from your tenancy a part of the property/land without your consent.
But yes, he could serve a S21 and provided it is valid, he could get a court possession order in about, say, 3 months. He'd then have a month or two with no rent before a new tenant was installed, plus the costs of finding and vetting hat tenant, who might or might not be a reliable tenant.....Thanks for your advice.0 -
With flats in my experience there's often both a freehold & lease set of deeds.

Surely the landlord has just sent the letter to protect himself legally in case a problem happens. In reality he probably won't care if you use this area or not. Just if you do and the fence falls on you it is not his fault and you can't sue him0

Because the fence has come down the LL is protecting their self against a claim should someone go onto that area and injure themselves.
You could certainly push this to the extreme and get all the tenants involved ask the landlord to store his trailer elsewhere to give back the communal land you had all been used to using. If you feel that is what you want to do.
How much rent discount do you think you should get for this assumed communal area?0
